We operate all of our testing units in a 75 degree grow room. We strongly recommend maintaining an ambient air temperature between 68 and 78 degrees.

9 Unit 2 gallons
16 Unit 2.5 – 3 gallons
32 Unit 5 – 5.5 gallons
64 Unit 8 – 10 gallons
128 Unit 11 gallons
If the exact volume of water is not required for determining the proper ratio for additives, fill your system to the bottom of the manifold.

EZ-CLONE Rooting Compound and Clear Rez.

Anywhere between 5.8-6.5. Initial pH set point is recommended at 5.8. These levels are likely to rise daily, so be sure to monitor & readjust to 5.8 accordingly. Once you begin seeing roots, acceptable pH range is 6.0-6.5.

Simple T12 fluorescent 40 watt lights work great. A two foot dual bulb fixture works well over the 16 and 32 site systems while a four foot dual bulb fixture works well for the 64 and 128 site system.

18-24 inches is more than sufficient

18 – 24 hours a day. It’s usually the growers preference.

Rooting times vary greatly depending on environmental conditions, species and health of donor plant. Usually roots will begin to develop around 7-10 days for many herbaceous and softwood cuttings. Hardwood cuttings may take a little longer.

Depending on the medium your transplanting into, your cuttings are ready to be transplanted when roots are at least 2” long. Typically longer more developed roots have a higher success rate. Remember if roots get too long they can be trimmed with sterile scissors during transplanting.

Somewhere that is sturdy or stable enough to set the system fully filled. A sturdy table, the floor or heavy duty wire racks are all good options.

Yes, if properly cleaned and sterilized between cycles. Though we strongly recommend using new ones each time for best results. Look at it as a 50 cent per cutting insurance policy to help eliminate the potential for bacterial infection. 50 cents is definitely not worth losing a plant. Cleaning Instructions HERE.

No, the EZ-CLONE has been designed to be used in an indoor application.

You didn’t get one cause you don’t need one. A humidity dome increases the potential for powder mildew, pest infestation, prevents the cuttings from transpiring naturally and can delay rooting times.

Running your water pump continuously is recommended. A cycle time of 1 min on / 4 min off is suggested if you’re combating heating issues. It is always recommended that your cloning system be in a temperature controlled environment for the most optimal results possible.
