ICMag with help from Landrace Warden and The Vault is running a NEW contest in November! You can check it here. Prizes are seeds & forum premium access. Come join in!
In the mornings its a fairly pleasant 60-70 degrees F, but the the afternoon it can get to 90+ (if i forget to open the windows).
My fully grown girls seem to be liking it in there (http://www.icmag.com/ic/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=192839&sort=1&cat=500&page=1 - photo from the 17th, she's grown out a bit since then. the stretch is cause i had her indoors by a window for a while) if that gives you any idea of the temps.

if it gets up to 90.... I'd move them in...

This is the perfect cloner, I think I found my method. After you transplant to a meduim do you guys use a dome to keep humidity up, and slowly introduce them to light over a few days??

GH - Hey, big thanks for sharing this with us. I'll be making one of your cloners soon, as I need to feed my Cage (72 plant) system. Looks like you've got the answer to my needs - but I'll be looking to fill the Cage, so I'll need to upscale it some. :smile: An this fool keeps on tryin'.Grat3fulH3ad said:

do you guys get wilting when you first introduce the plants to this system. I\'ve followed the directions to the T, and introduced about 5 varieties of plants. All have wilted to the point where they dont look like they are going to make it.
Perlite is damp to the touch (4 inches). plants are rooted deep. 40 w fluro about a foot a way. 1.5 inches of water is rez.
I\'m lost.

I often get wilting the first day, but they perk right back up.

GH..........Your humble servant DHF has nothing to add except the way my ol` mentor Krusty taught me for cloneage..........For as long as I`ve known about vermiculite/perlite mixture to stuff cuttings down in a wet solo cup till they rooted was as basic as I`ve ever seen till happening up on your thread...........I must thank you for spreading the love because so much controversy gets in the way of doing the K.I.S.S. method.............Again,what goes around comes around and that means Good Karma is coming your way!............PEACE.............DHF............
Just thought I'd post up the pics of my first ever clones!
I took 5 cuttings from each of the 3 plants i was growing and chucked them all in the cloner and the cloner was in my greenhouse - after 13 days this is what i got.
Clone from first plant:
Clone from second plant:
Clone from third plant:
I've only shown 1 clone for each mother plant, but basically apart from 2 out of the 15 all have rooted and have now been re-potted into a 50/50 compost/perlite organic mix. The other 2 i'm gonna give another week and if nothing happens they'll get binned.
So the word goes out to all reading this...its cheap and it works better than anything else i've ever seen!!
Well done GH, thank you very much, top quality stuff

I have a simple question: After you build this cloner and you take your cuttings, do you use any rooting gel or compound or do you just put them into the perlite? It looks like a great but inexpensive way for me to start cloning. Thanks!!

To prevent wilting, wouldnt it be wise to dip the cuttings in a anti-wilting gel or sumthing.
I don't use any gels or powders, because I reuse my cloner, perpetual style, and gels or powders shorten the life of the perlite.homegrown0420 said:
the wilting is a self correcting problem, and goes away on its own.

How many days or hours does it take for the cutting to perk back up? I have never seen this style before, but I never have cloned so far and so far no 1 at cannabis.com has responded about this method either. Its sounds and looks really easy. So you have about 90 % success rate or something?
