Can this be used to grow aeroponically? Not just for growing the roots on a clone but for the life of the plant until harvested.

Technically, this is growing aeroponically, but the answer to your question is no. The sites are too close together and your plants would not get enough light, as this was not designed as full hydroponic solution. Plus your roots would become completely entangled in the spray heads, which happens to some extent even growing 3-4 inch clones.

No you cant do it, First real issue is the heat the pump produces it makes the water hot and you would have too swap (4) frozen water bottles (4) times per day to keep the water temp closer to the optimum range for aeropnics because thats what it would take to prevent root rot bacteria from setting in, you can make or buy a aeroponic unit, The clone king is excxellt with getting cuttings to root vigerously, thats it

The root system of full size plant would foul the pump, besides the other issues mentioned by others.

It could be but would only be good for 1 big plant or a couple small ones. Its only about the circumfrance of a 5gallon bucket but squared

It can, but the roots will eventually dip into the water, become over hydrated, dragon claw and die. If you want a DIY aeroponics, look for the 4in square fence post instructions that are floating around on the internet ;-)

yes, but research where to cut, how long, ect ect i believe you only can clone a new years growth anything older might not root fast enough to support itself

Absolutely! As the previous post states...use it with confidence; plants easily utilize the additional nutrients and it shows.

I doubt it, but really don't know. We have it in the ground to create sections for our herb garded.

Your clones need roots first. Once they do use the voodoo and again when repotting!Also Add when plants go to bloom! Good Growing to All.

I have not tried using it in that method. I have used trimmings from a spider plant and that produced very good roots for replant.

Because its a cloning machine, I haven't tried to start any seeds. I'm not sure how that could work. But it's great for cloning. I've used it for orchids that are dying and also with some cuttings. I love it.

I think that would work as long as the plant that your growing is not real heave (I.E. tomatoes).

There is no humidity dome available for this cloner. I don't think you could find one that will fit properly, as it does not have a lip that a dome can close on to. I just spray m clones with a water clonex solution. They root in 14 to 15 days every time for me. Make sure that you keep your clones wet and add some clone food to the water solution, change the water every 7-8 days and never over pack the clone sights, it only can hold six, also be careful as they can root together. They will be so entangled they will get damaged trying to seperate them.

If you don't like this one I found this on EBAY not to sure if it works or not BUT it might be something people might like to get around GMO http://www.ebay.com/itm/Smart-Garden-Aquaponics-System-Hydroponic-Agricultural-Aquaculture-/111121833855?pt=US_Hydroponics&hash=item19df609f7f... Or just buy a used one and use what ever type of seeds and fertilizers you want...

Might need to take better clones. What I mean by this is when taking clones always choose healthy stems so root growth is achieved easier and quicker

It is used to root cuttings. Since a cutting may go for as long as 5 months, from cutting to flowering, fruiting or vegatitive state, the rooting hormones are long gone.

Yes, you can plant it. I use it to make bread and for sprouts. It sprouts relly great. You defi niitely can plant it

They are amazing for Aeroponics. I have used these in both DWC and aeroponic cloning. For best results, mix a small solution of ph'd water, root starter, and whatever organics/nutes you want and just dip these plugs into the mix. No needs to soak because these retain water and nutrients quite well. Place seed/clones in plug and put it into your aeroponic system...works like a charm. Enjoy!

It doesn't hurt to keep them in the cloner until they have a good root system. Your plants will take better to replanting if you wait.

Hi Jennifer: It's for fully growing plants in it. I don't recommend trying to transplant into soil. I start my seedlings in a plastic cup with soil (with good drainage) and then I transplant the sprouted seedling into the hydroponics after rinsing soil off of the roots. keep in mind, it's a lot more work than growing in soil. Nevertheless, with proper care, it will grow much faster, larger, and much healthier than planting in soil. Many people use it to grow their favorite herbs. I recommend doing online research to learn as much as possible before getting started, as I don't think iy comes with instructions. You will need to purchase a water thermometer, pH meter, and TDS meter. The one I purchased is digital and can measure all parameters. You will also need to purchase special plant nutrients used in hydroponics. I grow indoors, which requires special lighting, but some people grow it outdoors. Downside of growing outdoors is pests. It is fun and rewarding, but a lot of work ...
