So I built a 5 gal. bucket cloner like the ones in the cannabis forums and tried it with peppers and it works!
TS CARDI,@ 9 days.
A couple drops of superthrive and tap water, nothing else.

As promised.
So here's what I did. I didn't have anything laying around so I had to buy everything.
Here's what I used:
-fountain pump 155 gph. (Lowes) $20
-5ft. Of 1/2 inch pvc (Lowes) $3
-sprinkler tip 360º (plantworld) $.89
-5gal. Bucket (I had already)
-male threaded fitting for 1/2 inch pvc (Lowes) $.30 I think.
-teflon (don't remember $)
-(8) net pots with neoprene inserts (given to me)
I hope some of the pics help. I don't have pics of the piping part but I'll explain it the best I can and I'll take pics when I take it apart to clean.
First I put the piping together. The pump came with an adapter to hook up 1/2" piping, and it didn't so I had to:
-lightly grind a lil bit off the interior part of the pipe so I can slide the adapter on.
I will have to take exact measurement of the pipe or you can cut and try to adjust the height as you like because the sprinkler tips are different in size/length.
I assembled everything to look like this:
After I just left it alone, and went on to the lid. I know I could of put way more net pots there but I decided to put just enough for testing,
I layed down the net pots and drew a circle to show where I need to cut.
Once I finished cutting every spot. I cut all the net pots but I kept one to maybe try something different on that one.
Once cut the net pots I went into adjusting the height of the sprinkler and the bottom of the net pots. My mistake was that I cut the pipe too short and I had to get a coupler to extend a lil bit. And I had to trim the pipe little by little til I was happy with the level where the sprinked water reaches the very bottom of the net pot.
