Tomatoes are VERY easy to root. Anyone think that they could be used as a companion plant to speed rooting times in an aeroponic or bubbling cloner?
Anecdote:
I just set up a brand new ez cloner, put MJ clones in 8 days ago, and couple tomatoes cuttings 2 or 3 days later. Almost everything has roots now, all the tomatoes, and 6 or 7 outta 8 clones, all different cuts (2 only have nubs).
This was after 6 days, 20 hours or so. (Click for bigger)
[The ez cloner is sitting within 4 feet of my AC, has plenty of air movement, both pumps run constantly, and it has just one 23w cfl as a light source. Plain tap water ~0.3ec; pH brought down to 6.2]

So... anyone think that the hormones created by the tomatoes creating their roots, is/could be influencing the MJ clones?
This was far from the scientific method, but ive been thinking about doing it for a long time, and I had a spare tomato plant. Along similar lines, ive read that willow cuttings placed with MJ help rooting and I dont have a pond...
Ive read about people raving about the EZ cloner, i never really bought in. Now that i have one, i'm pretty happy.
FWIW im not sacrificing grow space that could be given to MJ to a tomato plant, ive kept this tomato plant alive with shaded light i would never try to grow MJ with. Im not trying to 'fruit' the tomato plant, just keep it alive for a clone or two.
Tomatoes as a rooting companion? Thoughts? Anyone want to attempt to replicate or have two cloners and can run a side by side?
