Hi. Thanks for posting all your videos. They are informative and also fun! Question, do you run the air pump continuously? Would a timer make sense? Thanks

@MrCobalt357 Thank You for your comment. :) Yes, just let it run. No need for a timer.

Hi I have a question I had purchased my pump and hose and root tone awhile back and will make mine soon but the question i had is do you use a grow light if you grow them indoors? or can the systm be placed by a window? and also i wanted to ask is grow plugs are hard to find in my area any ideas of a subsitute i can use? Thanks

@DarkOrchardFilms Since you are just trying to get the cuttings to root, a minimal amount of light is all you need. A widow will probable be ok. I have used "daylight" spectrum florescent and CFL bulbs effectively. These cuttings are fragile so a powerful grow light could damage them. The sky is the limit for holding the cuttings. I have seen foam pool noodles split and cut into sections as great clone holders. Pillow stuffing or batting, sponge, Styrofoam, just use your imagination.

@FenderGibsonWashburn Thanks alot for the Info. I had purchased most of the items a while back but just have been busy but im going to try to very soon because i have some cuttings sitting in the fridnge of some wild rosemary that I found when i went out to eat the other night. hopefully it works but if not then at least i have my cloner up and ready for the next batch of cuttings whatever they may be. Thanks again for the info and keep up the good work!

@PlebScrubber This is made to be inexpensive, easy to build, and grow roots on clones. If you have the money and the knowledge to build a more expensive and complex system I say go for it. It sounds like a fun project. Is one better than another? As cheap as this is to build why not build both and compare the two for yourself. If you do, please report back and let others know too.

@FenderGibsonWashburn thanks for your reply, i started gathering parts for my bubble cloner and then i thought, maybe i want an air-o-cloner, same basic setup but a water pump sprays the water up to the roots

i read that its better than bubble?

and then throw an air stone in as well for disolved oxygen in the water

@PlebScrubber I usually just spray the tops as I described in the video but I have also used another clear cake container as a humidity dome. This video is just ideas to get you started. Don't be afraid to experiment and have fun with this. :)
