Success!
Success!
I am not a expert by any means, but I have had some success (and failures) with my homemade aero-cloner. (a 5 gallon bucket with only 9 sites)
1) learned lesson # 1, the first time you use it, you will have pretty good luck, but unless you really sterilize it, any follow-on uses will have much lower success. At least that was my experience. Scrubbing and then running a strong bleach solution for 2 days before my next use has seemed to cause a increase in my success ratio.
2) temps play a important part, and make it pretty difficult in the summer unless you have a cycle timer to help reduce the amount of time that your water pump is on. Those things generate plenty of heat and will get your water/solution too warm after an few days if they run non-stop.
My success with cloning seems to be a hit or miss, but keeping everything super clean seems to help a lot!
for what it is worth!

Well, my brown lava now has a twin that has roots.
Since that addition, I have thrown a few random cuttings in just for G&Gs. I also recently added the top of a lg peach bhut jolokia that was invaded by a stalk borer worm. It was very wilted when I put it in the cloner , but has come back remarkably well, buds and all.
