DIY- Build your own Aeroponic cloner!

#249470 - 07/14/09 10:08 PM (15 years, 4 months ago)

Well, by coming here you have found the culmination of many days of research, reading, browsing green forums, my own blood and sweat , a few hundred dollars at home depot and the local hydro store, a few joints , maybe a bong rip or two , and lots of patience .

Here's the unit I built before.

Lesson learned, do shit right. It leaked and since im OCD about stuff it just drove me nuts. Don't skimp out and use a 2 and 1/8" hole saw, USE 2".

Now moving past our mistakes,
Onto the cloner!

So now that you see the beauty you'll end up with, are you ready to get started?

Right on! Here's what you'll need

Supplies:
20ft 1/2" PVC (Home depot has for $1.80 per 10ft)
3 1/2" T's
4 1/2" Elbows
1 1/2" threaded/slip (to screw into the pump)
EZ-Clone Misters (.50 ea at your hydro shop)
35 2" net pots
35 2" neoprene collars
PVC glue
Weather stripping
18Gal RUBBERMAID ROUGHNECK (Don't use anything else. IT WILL LEAK)
396GPH pump

Got all that?
Great, now here's the tools you'll need!

Tools:
Power Drill
Sharp pocket knife
2" hole saw
Ruler
Masking tape
PVC Cutters
Needle Nose pliers
11/64 drill bit

Once you have all this, your set!

Start off by placing the nets onto the tote lid to get a good idea of where they will end up.

Next, start making your measurements!

Pro-tip: Have odd numbered sites, that way you canstart with a hole in the center!

Remember, that with a 5 x 7 setup like I did, one net will be in the direct center of the lid. This makes it easier to align all the others.

Pro-tip!: "Measure twice, cut once!".

Next, measure out your PVC and plan out your loop on the top of the lid.

Pro-tip: When cutting, leave an extra 1/4" or so. Mistakes happen!

All planned out!

Pro-tip: If you get your loop perfect and tight, you may want to glue the outside so you don't have to take it apart and back together! If you do, skip the next gluing parts.

Glue it all together now!

Pro-tip: Be carefull. This shit sets FAST.

Walah! Next we want to mark the mister points to achieve full coverage!

Now drill the holes and screw in your misters!

Pro-tip: Drill with the 11/64 bit, and then take a screw and run it through all the holes to set some threads for the mister heads.

Now put on your weather stripping! Don't want leaks do we?

Now test out how it fits in the tote.

Pro-tip: Glue a 1/4" piece of PVC under the end of the pump to support it. This way it wont lean at all!

Now, cut the bottom halves of all the nets off. Yup. It will make sure the cuttings roots don't get tangled in them. That way when you move them to veg you wont destroy the root systems you've worked for!

Now put some water in that bitch and see if it works!

And now you've got a perfect clone box with 35 sites that will pwn the shit out of anything sold online and you can do it yourself!

I've got roots in 4 days!

Now time for a blunt of some dank homegrown bud!

Any q's or comments feel free to post em!

PEACE!

P.s. I sell these units all-inclusive for $160 shipped to your door.
If you want one without the hard work, fuck ups, and dumping tons of cash to do it right after messing it up, contact me.
