Making a hydro cloner

[BlueBudz]

hey guys I’ve been looking at the ez clone and other similar cloning systems. The prices are outrageous imo. I decided to make my own and I think it could work quite well..... I hope. Anyway I spent about an hour and a half and under $60 CAD. All the supplies in the pic will also build a top feed dwc later.

I also installed a t fitting opposite of the inlet for expansion. I think once roots begin to hang down flow to the middle pot may be reduced, if so I will add another nozzle toward the middle for $1.50

It seems to have everything the ez clone has so time will tell.

What are the specs on the pump? I've been wanting to do something similar but can't decide on a pump.

Good deal BlueBudz
Love me some Diy builds, nothing better than your own. I did me one for under 30 bucks for 6 clones.

 

[BlueBudz]

132gph 28w you can use a much smaller pump I think I kinda went overkill

 

[BlueBudz]

Thanks Mr.F
I could have saved a few dollars on a smaller pump and not food grade pail. But after looking at the prices of the ez clone I was just so far ahead I thought make it a bit better!

Loaded her up with 4x RQS Critical and 5x RQS Royal Gorilla

Very nice! How big do you like to cut your clones?

Oh yeah, looking nice all loaded up. Ain't nothin that makes me happier, than saving a buck or two an build something that you want, homemade is usually better anyway.
Good Luck with your project, and I hope you have many productive and Happy Grows.

That's awsome nice work. I want to get somthing like that going for an auto experiment I want to do.

also i know u can buy a cheep plastic humidity dome that will fit that bucket lid

 

[BlueBudz]

Haven’t really taken too many yet. Maybe around 6” and as many nodes as possible

 

[BlueBudz]

Thanks brother. As long as it works well I’ll be happy with the time and money it took! I did have a leak where the power cord goes into the bucket, but used a piece of neoprene insert and voila.

 

[BlueBudz]

And where might I find said lid? The commercial cloning systems don’t use one, but I was already thinking it couldn’t hurt

 

[Waltermelon]

I saw one set up the guy used a Tupperware bowl. The dollar stores around here have clear ones for cheap.

 

[BlueBudz]

Thanks walter I’ll take a look

Nothing better than good Canadian know-how.

Almost 24 h in and these cuttings look like their loving life, reaching almost totally vertically. This thing might work
