So how is everybody using this? I watered my cuttings with it today. Was only 25ppm, seems a bit light as a stand alone.
I'm in root shooters and then go to dirt.
 
Yeah I never even thought to check the ppm on it but I have seen nice results with it tho!
 
I'm going with the Turbo Klone for two major reasons.

#1. It keeps a stable temp of 70-78 degrees. High temps are the reason why the EZ clones fails after a few runs. Cyanobacteria takes over the whole cloner and clones stop rooting.

#2. EZ clone 30 sites < Turbo Klone 48 sites (cheaper cost!)




 
Yeah our EZ clone runs high like that on a regular basis. Frozen water bottles keep the temp down but one shouldn't have to tend to the rex that often. Nice post NMC
 
I've read people still having heat problems with those machines like any other aero cloner. If you do a google search for "turboklone" you will see a topic about heat buildup. Not sure if I'm allowed to link it as its a different forum.
 
He probably referenced CDC website, but who cares!
Let's move on to results of the enhancer, not getting caught up in ego trips.

No I didn't check cdc until now. Yea, Clorox is just the brand name Slickchic (obviously)
Of course it's a disinfecting agent.
 
Cyanobacteria takes over the whole cloner and clones stop rooting.

how are cyanobacteria growing in a pitch black cloner...?

it's been my experience that the pumps on turbocloners have a pretty bad fail rate, but they definitely do pump out the clones. Secret to EZ cloners is to run the pump on for 1/5 the time (1 min every 5 min)
 
Well think God I got a good turboklone because she has been running non stop for quite some time an versus my ez cloner i use to have always get slime in the rez an the water temperature changed to much but I guess everything has a flaw!

When I had brown slime in my tanks I read that the snot can even grow in the dark, unlike green algae. You are right about the on/off time for sure. I have even heard of people hooking a chiller up to the ez clone, which seems over kill to me... but I bet that would be very effective.

I had one of the first turbokloners. It's in my attic now. I hated how the lid did not fit right. Probably changed a lot since then though.
 
Yeah they must of change the lid for sure then CAP because mine fits like a glove very well constructed! I couldn't be happier with this product!
 
Took cuttings today.
20 cubes got RE in RO water. [email protected], treated the cubes, took the cuts and allowed to soak in solution for ten minutes prior to plugging.
20 cubes got Aptus StartBoost in compost tea, [email protected], took cuts and allowed to soak in solution for ten minutes prior to plugging.
10 cubes got the combination of leftover solutions, [email protected], took cuts and allowed to soak in solution for ten minutes prior to plugging.

40 cuts of XXX OG
10 cuts of Biker OG
I have never cloned nor flowered these girls. I got clones originally from cloneville. They were treated with Eagle 20 to ensure death of pathogens upon arrival. Plants are ready for flower.

This is my only complaint about my ezclone right now. Lid doesn't sit tight, have to tape it down, or use some weather seal to keep the water inside. Otherwise you come back to the white wall stained with nute water and a half full tub. Basically have to start all over refilling the damn thing everyday if you forget to seal it up with extra tape or weatherseal.
 
Yah 5am. We had that problem too! We made humidome from plexiglass and it had just enuf weight to hold the lid down tight. Good Point! I don't have any experience with TurboKlone
 
The turbo kloner humidity dome is heavy duty an fits like a glove you can bump it an it won't even come close too fall off the machine I'm totally happy with mine!
 
Here is a proper side by side going on with and without RE. Right side is with and Left is without. Multiple strains. 2 sets of action. Bottom is Jamaican, Colombian Gold, Tangerine dream, Wifi 3 and ghost OG. Top is starfighter.

Well so far the bottom trays in the pic are at 5 days (taken 10/10) no roots yet on either side. I'm gonna laugh if the side with no RE roots first. I am kind of rooting for the underdawg actually... no pun intended haha.

The starfighter I just took today.
