Just wanted to share a few tips and tricks when using the Oxy Cloner cloning machine.
First of all if you’re thinking of building a dwc cloner then this is a great option. It costs damn near $50 to build one by the time you buy all the parts.
Now this unit is not without one minor flaw that’s easily fixed. The included water pump is submersed in the water res and raises temps 10+ degrees. To fix this I simply removed the water pump, replaced the air pump with a dual outlet unit and added a second air stone. It costs about $20 to do this modification and is well worth it.
Tip #1: Number the collars with a black sharpie. This allows you to easily keep track of your strains in a notebook or notepad on your phone. You can also track the date the clone was put in it. I run several strains and this is a great way of keeping track of various phenos.
Tip #2: Small clear plastic solo cups can be used as makeshift domes. Just mist the inside of the cup and place it over top of the wilting cutting(s).
Tip #3: While changing out the water you can set the lid with clones on an open box or Tupperware container to keep the clones suspended and moist.
If you have any tips or tricks to add please post them for others to use. At the end of the day successful cloning and rooting is what we are hoping to achieve and this machine takes the hassle out of it for small personal sized grows.
