I am going to show you all what I use for my bubble cloner, because it works and it is so super simple! Just showing anybody that will benefit, that to make a perfect bubble cloner all you need is a little aquarium pump, some hosing for your pump, r/o water, and a little bit of sponge to hold your clones. Oh, and don't forget the little can w/lid that you will be using for the reservoir. I had one of those plastic red folgers containers laying around(thanks to my brother's coffee habit) that works perfectly. Ok, so here it is lol.
This drawing I made pretty much sums it up lol.
You just run the hoses from your pump into two holes prepared(opposite sides of the container) anywhere above where the waterline will be. The higher the better so you don't have any leaks.
Then, just pull the hoses through until they reach near the bottom of the container, and glue them to the wall with whatever you have. I used a $1 hot glue gun from the dollar store lol.
Whatever lid you are using, make sure it is turned upside down so you can just lift it straight up to check the root growth without disturbing the delicate roots.
Cut a few holes spaced around on the lid where your clones will sit. Make sure the holes are fairly big so you will be able to pull out the clones later without damaging the roots. I have 6 holes cut in mine.
Then cut up the number of squares you need from a sponge which you can also get from the dollar store. The squares only need to be a little bit bigger than the holes you made in the lids. Then, cut a slit in the sponge squares you cut so your clone stem can slide right through like so.
Also, you will want to make sure that your airpump is situated somewhere above your cloner so no water can run back into your pump if your pump gets shut off or unplugged or something.
Annnnnnd that's about all she wrote! It's good to keep your stems either with just the tips down in the water or hovering above the water just a little bit. The moisture will be contained really well so they will root quickly!
That's all folks!
Pro tip: If you aren't using all of your cloning spots at any given time, you can cover them with a little bit of plastic wrap and the moisture will stay in the reservoir much better!
