Well, that depends on how long I flowered for. Maybe I don't understand the question.

Nice Job Evergreen, So I Guess I'm Lazy, I Have 6 Of The Lazy DIY Cloners, I Did Them Out Of 14 gal Totes & I Can Get 40 Sites For 2" Neoprenes, Ya They Are Priceless..

You Can Veg A Few Week's In Them, The Roots Will Get All Tangled, But I Wouldn't Try To Flower Or Mature A Plant In One, You Would Be Filling It Up With Water Every Day..Maybe That Is What He Ment??

I built something like this and had very poor results. My stems go soggy dont root. If they do root it is only on the part of the stem covered by the neoprene ring. My thoughts are light making it throught the rubbermaid tub.

I cut the stems cleanly under water on a 45 degree angle. In the tub, I have only water with a little pH UP mixed in to get the pH around 7.0. I run the mister pump 24/7 and have a basic floro gro light on 24/7.

The internet raves about these things, but I have had poor success.

Any ideas anyone?

when rooting with an aeroponics machine it will be very hard to root with the water anywhere above 6.0, try 5.5 ph and that should get you rooting.

What kind of clone gel/powder do you use??

I think you are right on the PH. I was running it around 6 or 7. I used gel to root, I think is was RootX or StimuX or something... HomeDepot stuff.
