DIY Micro-cloner and Questions

[Oregonism]

So i built this little areo cloner to fit in my micro-grows. First one I have ever used or built Turned out pretty good for the 1st attempt, need to adjust sprayers a tad, 4 out of 5 wet pucks.

I read and read,people who had a 185 gph like mine weren't very successful. The pumps actually were putting out 25 gph or something not even close to 200. I get good spray though, might put in a 3rd sprayer, but really don't need it.


Has anybody ran 30 minutes on/30 off with sprayer pump? Or do I just run it 24/7........


-2.1 gallon square bucket
-Jebao 185 gph pump
-2 microsprayers [Dripworks]
-Pucks [padding roll from a Mazda Miata soft top]
-little bit less than 1/2" flexible irrigation hose
-toro 1/4" t- fitting






I tried using two of the big misters seen in the bottom part of the photo [last photo] and they didn't cut it, tried to spray then dribbled...might work on that later, might just be a pressure thingy...

24/7. As long as them stems are being constantly sprayed you have enough in there. Good job on the build. I love DIY.

Not really fond of the walmart cloner, why I went aero. But this was free and walmart was not, lol. Maybe I will give the Walmart thing a try. But my experiences with perlite in cylinders was s-h-i-t-t-y.
I borrowed a friend's huge cloner for a bit and was hooked.....

Thank you for the response.
