Sea hawk aeroponic cloner and timer advice needed pls !

[Jimboss83]

Hey crew

I was looking at buying an aeroponic cloner - question is I hear people have mentioned having it on for 5 mins and off for 45 etc - what timers do you use for them ? Seems like it would take forever using a standard one to set one like that ?

 

Also has anyone used the seahawk cloner at all ? Seems like a good idea , I don’t have a good success rate with experimenting with clones at the moment I’m quite new to this ... think i get them too wet in the rockwool so thought I’d give this style a shot .

Any info , feedback or experience welcome

 

Thanks !

Here’s a link too it

Cheaper alternative,,buy a syringe and suck the excess water from the cubes ,,if your environment is good then I bet you'll have faster growth and much better survival rates.

Only use firm cubes that keep their shape ,,

Like the grodan rockwools ?

Cool I’ll give that a try before I go dropping a hundy plus on the sea hawk

Yep ,rockwool,.

 

The big syringes at the hydro shop work great.

Have you been using a dome or mini-greenhouse ?

Eazy plugs, shit all over rockwool

Any smaller size cloners ? Scene a 6 cloner, but in US...

I’ve been using a standard dome with tiny bit of water in it with a plate between the tray and heat map so it humidifies it ... maybe a bit too much humidity I should get a meter

 

Hey Pedro I’ve had heaps of success with those and seedlings - just started using the jiffy pellets which you soak in warm water for 5 mins and they grow into long cylinders ...

Another question for those - do you leave the fibre netting “sock” around them when transplanting to coco /soil medium ?

Also I was gonna test a small run with Deep Water Culture - I presume using the easy plugs would be too hard to transfer to clay pebbles you’d have to wash the soil off the roots etc ??

I’ve been a coco run to waste man myself (I’m a newbie only done a few runs the last year ) but thought I’d experiment a bit ...

I love them for seedlings ,,haven't used them for clones yet .
