Build a Clone Machine step-by-step how-to instructions. Building your own clone machine for marijuana plant clones can save you money and allows you the chance to customize your clone machine to the size and to the amount of clones it will hold. My method costs approx. $90 compared to $300 EZ Clone Machine – 30 from hydroponic grow stores.
Step-by-Step Video on How to Build a Clone Machine
This step-by-step video will show you exactly how to build a clone machine. I use the easiest and most cost effective way their is. As you can see in all of my clone pictures and videos, every clone I have is very healthy and 100% of them root within 5-6 days. I will be adding more videos in the future as I continue to find new and improved ways to build a clone machine.

I am often to blogging and i really appreciate your content. The article has really peaks my interest. I am going to bookmark your site and keep checking for new information.
all of these answers are on this site.
i let the air regulate the water temp. air temp is 75*
pump is on 30mins every 6hrs
flourescent lights with agrosun bulbs
always use rockwool
do not use RO water. ph 6.0 – as u can see in my vids and my site the nutrients i use are rockwool 1 a&b
Thanks. Sorry I have just watched your videos. Are the lights the 24 inch tubes? If so how many do you have over the cloner?
Do you soak the rockwool to get it to pH 6 or in pH6 water?
My water is very hard here and I use an RO system to bring the ppm down to 275-300. Given that should I use tap water still?
I haven’t encountered the nutes you describe, but that isn’t saying much. Do you have the nutes in from the beginning?
yes 24″. 2 tubes in 1 fixture and thats it. yes soak the rockwool for 15mins prior to using. tap water is fine. yes nutes in from the beginning
Hello
I saw your video about the clone machine and I plan to build one.
1. What is the temp that you have the water at?
2. Do you control that or do you just let the air temp set the water temp?
3. What temp do you put the air at around the cloner?
4. How often does the pump run?
5. What lighting do you use for the cloner?
6. Do you always use Rockwool in the baskets for the aeroponic system?
7. Does the water have any nutrient in it or is it just RO water set at pH 6?
Thanks for your help. Your videos are very good!
