Just bought this setup Friday from you Gary. It arrived on time and is exactly as described. I assembled it today with no issues. My receipt was even signed by Gary himself. Much appreciated here in Michigan.
Best video on the matter by far!! I have spent hours watching people talk in circles and this guy just builds a bucket right in front of us and clears up everything I was wondering in a few minutes. Thank you!
As much drilling and swarf as you create you should be able to use the 'shavings' as grow media if you save if , for a few hours :) Push away from you when you use a knife, is how I was taught, my dad would have slapped the back of my head ;) Thanks for your time and sharing
Thank you Gary this inspired me to build my own DIY hydroponic cloning mister from across the pond here in the UK. I think your unnamed camera person is great at getting clear good angled shots and at prompting closing statement reminders lol, I find them concise and can follow the step by step with ease, keep up the great work happy growing, i for see a bright future for PA Hydroponics and customers.
An easy solution if you want to avoid cutting into the bucket is to just run the cord out of one of the net cups. You'll give up one site, but it won't leak.
I made my own with a bucket and bubble stones and pump.from a fish store. Simple works great pulld clones out with 18 inc roots most important is water temps ph and an root stimulator not a clone dip I use clonex seed and root stimulates
Hey Gary Great system I used a mister landscaping drip irrigation hole punch to create holes for spinners no risk of punching hole thru back side of pipe besides I have to always hunt for correct drill size lol peace Tom
Thanks for the comment! There are so many ways to build this! This is the one video I would redo and show a bunch more it was just to spark ideas! Thanks for watching! Gary
The issues I have with this is that the little sprayers gets clogged up, every other day etc. l had my DIY cloners buckets etc out in the garage but in the summertime especially living in south Florida, the water inside the bucket will heat up. If I had a garage with ac running in there, it would had solved the whole problem. Once the water temperature hits 80 degrees it just kills the roots. You need to keep the water temperature around 70 to 75 degrees, give and take some. So I've started making cloners out of ice coolers so the water would stay cooler inside. But the temperature started climbing up through the day. you can always throw bottles of frozen water in the cooler which will bring the temperature down temporally. But it'll go up slowly again. So this year I converted the aeroponics into a hydroponics deep water culture cloner. Using a air pump and air stones to bring oxygen into the water. This way the temperature stays stable throughout the day around 74 degrees. Mostly because there's much more water in it about 10 gallons more compared to having only a gallon of water in it with the aeroponics system. So this summer It's all about deep water cloning. I haven't decided yet to add any nutrients in it yet. But I just ordered a couple of aquarium sponge filters to keep the water clean.
bubble clone vs aero? i just put in my order before seeing this, going for "just throw some air stones in a res, put the cutting in sleeves"... but i can still buy the aero fittings for a spare top-feed water pump.
I have done both with great success! Nothing wrong with a bubbling cloner it still works as well as an aeroponic cloner in my opinion and with just aeration it runs cooler. Thanks for watching. G
Hey Gary. Great videos. So informative. In this vid, when talking of pump size, you go with a 250. Is that gallons per hour? Asking cause we're metric here.
Much cheaper than "easy clone", good job. I run my hole saw in reverse when I cut, seems to work better, also run your drill in high. No reason you can't grow starter plants in here either, to develop roots before DWC or whatever you choose later. I am keen on the KISS method for everything, KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID. If you don't have to spend lot's, then why do it? Deburring tool..... ha, use a solid metal vegetable peeler or a grinding wheel on your drill.
No dome needed, the stems are getting sprayed , ex clone once told me they dont use a dome because it shocks plants every time you take it on or off and also more likely to get mildew, you should use one for cloning in soil or starter plugs. Hope this helps. Gary
thanks for sharing, lost everything when my (partners) took off and paid the trimmers more than me...I did all the work, was the 1st there and the last to leave, he even gave his mom 25grand I was always there while everyone went out partying.....didn't realize people who grow medicine were greedy backstabbing A-hole
supposes to get half the profits, then he disappeared and tried to give me 3g!!! He said it was for the food, I ate 2 meals with them all season......greed, hate, judgment, fugum...the karma's theirs, unfortunately I got into a couple accidents and have been down for 5 years.....thanks again take care Andy Snow
Why the use of the water pump? Can't you just use a air pump with the air stone? The water splashes up to the lid with just the air stone, what is the extra pump for?

Nice! Thanks for the feed back! Gary
Hey my G just make an extra cut out on the lid for the neck cut and put the cord through there or sacrifice a neck cut for the court to pop out
when I want to fill in a small opening like around the electric cord is use plumber's putty... It's inexpensive, easy to use and keeps the water out..
Wondering what would happen if you put a humidity dome on it?
Domes on cloning machones can cause powdery mildew so be careful with that if you do it. G

Totally agree, been watching several recently but this video outshines the rest by far...Thanks Gary!
Damn I wish you had a shop in my city!

Thats awsome thankyou so easy to make
I like this dude I wanna see what he thinks about lights I haven’t grown with new technology but I like clone and DWC simplicity!
I made my own with a bucket and bubble stones and pump.from a fish store. Simple works great pulld clones out with 18 inc roots most important is water temps ph and an root stimulator not a clone dip I use clonex seed and root stimulates
what kind of tubing are you using? My poly tubing kinks when I bend it
Good stuff!! Found this on Facebook. You should make this subject a playlist.
your the man Dan
Thank you for the series...this vid still works in 2021...just letting you know that your hard work is still being used. VA pass rec so you know..
Many thnks good Sir, Ive learned much from you, cheerz
Hey Gary
Great system I used a mister landscaping drip irrigation hole punch to create holes for spinners no risk of punching hole thru back side of pipe besides I have to always hunt for correct drill size lol peace Tom

Much easier design than others I've tried; easier to put together, less to go wrong.
The issues I have with this is that the little sprayers gets clogged up, every other day etc. l had my DIY cloners buckets etc out in the garage but in the summertime especially living in south Florida, the water inside the bucket will heat up.

Yo bro nice video master Grower from Canada 🇨🇦 👌 ❤
The 2 dislikes came from prebuilt cloning unit companies
Hmm, thanks , you can take this simple system idea and make it huge if you wanted. I am a fan of Ez-clone but they are expensive! G
Great video as always thanks for the info.
What about a humidity dome Gary? Do you have an option for that?
The bucket is the humidity dome for the rooting area, you only really need one if you're going directly into soil.
Cool dude appreciate it
If you want to grow to harvest can you leave the cup in tact?
well done
Is the pump food grade? I heard it's not a good idea to use anything with lead soldering for growing anything edible. If not, can you recommend one?
bubble clone vs aero? i just put in my order before seeing this, going for "just throw some air stones in a res, put the cutting in sleeves"... but i can still buy the aero fittings for a spare top-feed water pump.

Works so well its wonderful.... I got two made and have five generations, cloned from one seed.... abbodonza....
Thanks for the feedback! :) Gary
Do the drain holes allow light in and cause algae? .
Hey Gary. Great videos. So informative. In this vid, when talking of pump size, you go with a 250. Is that gallons per hour? Asking cause we're metric here.
Hello and Thanks! 250 Gallons per hour here, you can get away with 150 gph too but I would not go any less than that. Thanks for watching! Gary
Good info gary thanks 👍🏽
I built two cloning buckets as per this video. I have a question. What timing cycle on/off do you recommend? Thanks.
I usually did 1 min on 4 off and it was more for the heat so it doesn't make my water anaerobic.
Nice vid man I may not spent a few hundred bucks on an EZclone now sorry ezclone I'm a cheap bastard.
Still using there sprayers and neoprenes soo... :)
they screw in with just a regular drill bit? No need to tap?
Hello, they have plastic threads and screw right in pretty easily. Thanks for watching. G
Much cheaper than "easy clone", good job. I run my hole saw in reverse when I cut, seems to work better, also run your drill in high.

Good point's ! and veg peeler!!! Good idea :) THX G
@@PAHydroponics Another good tool to invest in is a step drill.
Do you need a Dome for this ?? And if so what kind of dome
No dome needed, the stems are getting sprayed , ex clone once told me they dont use a dome because it shocks plants every time you take it on or off and also more likely to get mildew, you should use one for cloning in soil or starter plugs. Hope this helps. Gary
Use a 1 7/8 hole saw for a tighter fit....
Would a 360 degree lawn sprinkler work , instead of all the tubing . Just wondering .
Hmm, I think anything that sprays and can be adapted would do fine if you can make it work in a system, give it a try and see :) Gary
thankyou for all your help tips and advice :D
Did you use 180 or 360 deg sprayers?
thanks for sharing, lost everything when my (partners) took off and paid the trimmers more than me...I did all the work, was the 1st there and the last to leave, he even gave his mom 25grand I was always there while everyone went out partying.....didn't realize people who grow medicine were greedy backstabbing A-hole
great content
Hey , try putting hole saw in lathe and file and up ends , you will get cleaner cut.
"Tomato Plants"
😉
Ty
what drill but you use?
I would have put atleast 8 sprayers, my big tote cloner has 150 sprayers and can clone 4-6 inch roots in 4 days. But decent build. Keep it up
#nailedit
genius cheers
And where is the timer for the pump to cool off and not boil the water never get roots like that bro need timer
This guy puts that other guys diys home deep -0- 😂bucket to shame 😮😢😢😢😢
supposes to get half the profits, then he disappeared and tried to give me 3g!!! He said it was for the food, I ate 2 meals with them all season......greed, hate, judgment, fugum...the karma's theirs, unfortunately I got into a couple accidents and have been down for 5 years.....thanks again take care Andy Snow
