It's help poor indian people🌹, thanks Sir, good trick, money shaving arrangements

[@jimd1617]

thanks!

[@growinggreenswithcam8632]

Hey Karl/Carl! (Please correct me) I love this set up, genius! Thanks for the quality content!

[@GardeningSolutions]

Thanks Cam! (It's Carl)

[@sweasyco]

Great Video! Really helped me out

[@GardeningSolutions]

Glad to hear it!

[@macmex9763]

Thank you so much! This is wonderful! Many years ago I lived in a high cold rain forest, in Central Mexico. We received 11' of precipitation a year, mainly in the form of drizzle. There, at 7500' altitude, it was pretty cool. We were able to root apples and plums by simply cutting the twig and sticking it in the ground. One time, a friend cut down a pear tree for firewood, in November and left the twigs on the ground. By April many of them had ROOTED! This technology makes me think of such conditions. I'm going to try it! Do you think it would work on mulberries?

[@GardeningSolutions]

It should, the conditions are very similar to what you described. Thanks for watching :)

[@rauls7616]

great video - how does this system compare to the system that creates bubbles in the water?

[@patrickpoulin1629]

Could I use a quarter inch mister From a mini irrigation system And just make an Adaptor to fit the riser?

[@GardeningSolutions]

No reason that wouldn't work :)

[@AlexeyDnepr]

7:35 where do you get these foam clone clips? Thank you for the video!

[@GardeningSolutions]

These are the ones I use: amzn.to/2YSqgVv

[@vex123]

Did you use any nutrient mixtures like they do in hydroponics systems?

[@GardeningSolutions]

For more stubborn plants I add Clonex cloning solution. Here's a link, you can get it in smaller sizes. amzn.to/3eTYJYF

[@georgiabracewell4749]

Couldn’t find the links for the collars and pump.

[@georgiabracewell4749]

Sorry, just found them in the comments. Thank you.

[@GardeningSolutions]

I need to update the pump links, they keep changing the products on that page.

[@jp9er4life]

How do u stop the water from heating up from the pump?

[@randomdog8107]

Used your idea , but I used a 9qt igloo cooler. Small and compact , 8 site

[@limkimly]

Do I need any additives solution or just plain ph water will work?

[@GardeningSolutions]

Plain water works, for more stubborn cuttings I have used this solution: amzn.to/3m8kNmP . I think you can find it cheaper with a quick search.

[@kumarsamuel260]

Is there a time schedule on how long you keep the water running and how often do you change the water?

[@GardeningSolutions]

I let it run all day and night and only change the water when I do a new batch of cuttings. Some people have used timers to run it off and on throughout the day and have had good results.

[@patrickkyu7241]

Did you add any nutrients to the water or pure water?

[@GardeningSolutions]

Sometimes I add Clonex clone solution for the more difficult plants. amzn.to/3NgEHGu

[@MegaGrowthInc]

Would rooting hormone powder In the water help to root faster?

[@GardeningSolutions]

Probably, there are some root stimulants designed for this such as amzn.to/3wNOsHo

[@ronestes2187]

My use of a pump added too much heat over time. So I changed to air bubbler.

[@davidjackson6161]

No dome is needed? Do you have to keep the whole room that their in at a very high humidity?

[@GardeningSolutions]

No dome required, the roots are kept wet by the sprayers and the humidity in Florida is enough to keep the leaves from drying out.

[@harleybaldwin7015]

12 inch round plastic cake pan.....5 gallon bucket is 12 inches around...the cake lids make nice domes

[@roybrooks13]

If I want more of a mist which head would you use..I'm going with the bigger pump

[@GardeningSolutions]

My results have shown that the head and spray pattern make very little difference. If you want a mist though I'd look at using some drip water system heads, they may have to be adapted.

[@roybrooks13]

@@GardeningSolutions thanks

[@atomizer2665]

@@roybrooks13 Use a booster pump designed for reverse osmosis, (ideally dc voltage). A single upward firing misting nozzle will be more than enough for a 5gal bucket.

[@vnswamy2008]

Where can I find the sprinkler head?

[@GardeningSolutions]

Do you have a builders store near you like Home Depot or Lowes?

[@alejandrocuello3605]

How often would you have the water on for the pump if starting to propagate (clone) some cuttings? I've heard 1 minute on / 5 minutes off, but I'm new to this. Looks nice !

[@GardeningSolutions]

I leave mine on all the time but have been thinking of trying the timer method.

[@outdoors_life7544]

Where did you get the sprinkler head ? And what are specifics on it?

[@jakebragg1716]

I bought the same sprinkler head from Lowe’s (Canada) but I’ve seen the same sprinkler brand at my local Home Depot.

[@dasledogg64]

I've had some issues getting my lemon tree cuttings to root in soil. Would you recommend this for citrus cuttings? Do you think the water sprinkling stimulation would prove more helpful?

[@GardeningSolutions]

It's worth a try, I think this method is best for soft wood cuttings though. Maybe try the sandbox / sand bucket method, that has worked well for me for the harder wood like figs.

[@dasledogg64]

@@GardeningSolutions thanks so much for the suggestion.

[@moody_goose]

In the end, what matters most is success rate per $value.

[@GardeningSolutions]

Absolutely.

[@shrantgeldon]

My OCD said put another hole in the middle of the bucket for a cord. Now It's one clone short for even number of 4"s. Your OCD has no game!

[@peterbootsma4414]

How long do u leave the cloner on for.. an what nutrients do u use if any.?

[@GardeningSolutions]

I leave it on all the time until all cuttings are ready. Here's a link to the rooting solution I use: amzn.to/3fteRio

[@danielgutierrez1211]

Carl you use Clone X as well at the tip of the cutting?

[@westchef7]

Is that really all the water you need in there?

[@GardeningSolutions]

Yes, not much is required. There is very little water loss since it is sealed up. You want to make sure the pump is covered and maybe an extra couple of inches but that is all you need.

[@westchef7]

@@GardeningSolutions Thank you!

[@jher6969]

Can you show us one with a misting head and link the other parts.

[@GardeningSolutions]

Yes I will post a video with the misting design.

[@eazzzzzzye]

Can you list the parts for the sprinkler head please

[@GardeningSolutions]

Do you have a home improvement store nearby? Here's links for parts: If the small pump, you need a piece of 1/2" CPVC pipe: www.lowes.com/pd/Charlotte-Pipe-1-2-in-x-5-ft-100-PSI-CPVC-Hot-Cold-Pipe/1000957530 The sprinkler riser adapter for CPVC is this: www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-1-2-in-CPVC-CTS-Slip-x-FIPT-Adapter-Fitting-C4703HD12/100347927 And a riser: www.lowes.com/pd/Orbit-1-2-in-MNPT-x-1-2-in-MNPT-Cut-Off-Riser/1063721 I didn't see it on the Lowe's site but I know they carry it. If you want to skip the sprinkler riser and screw the head right to the end of the CPVC pipe you can use this: www.homedepot.com/p/NIBCO-1-2-in-CPVC-CTS-Slip-x-MIPT-Adapter-Fitting-C4704HD12/100048636 I did it with the riser because I already had all the parts on hand. 360 degree sprinkler head: www.lowes.com/pd/Orbit-10-ft-15-ft-Shrub-Head-Sprinkler/3427754 Does this help? I can provide Amazon links but the pipe is expensive there compared to buying it locally.

[@teresawise2499]

I'm clueless for sprinkler parts so a link would help me understand what I'm looking for much better!

[@marcodipaola22]

@@GardeningSolutions I was gonna ask, what was the point of the riser,? haha so just pump to pvc, pvc to adapter, adapter to sprinkler nozzle, got it.

[@chuckjames7745]

Can roses be cloned with this method?

[@GardeningSolutions]

I haven't tried it but they should be able to.

[@purog3080]

I’ve tried this areo cloner bucket and had no success with it. I’m doing everything the same way. Help me please

[@GardeningSolutions]

Is the cloner working correctly where you have a constant spray of water? If so, what kind of cuttings are you trying to propagate?

[@westchef7]

Hey Carl I have everything lined up for this with the exception of that PVC extention piece. Will you share the spec? Length, name etc. I went to Lowes yesterday, but couldn't find one

[@GardeningSolutions]

Hello, which pump are you using? If the small one, you need a piece of 1/2" CPVC pipe: www.lowes.com/pd/Charlotte-Pipe-1-2-in-x-5-ft-100-PSI-CPVC-Hot-Cold-Pipe/1000957530 The larger one uses 1/2" PVC. In either case you will need to cut the pipe, you only need a 2-3" length. The sprinkler riser adapter for CPVC is this: www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-1-2-in-CPVC-CTS-Slip-x-FIPT-Adapter-Fitting-C4703HD12/100347927 I didn't see it on the Lowe's site but I know they carry it. If you want to skip the sprinkler riser and screw the head right to the end of the CPVC pipe you can use this: www.homedepot.com/p/NIBCO-1-2-in-CPVC-CTS-Slip-x-MIPT-Adapter-Fitting-C4704HD12/100048636 I did it with the riser because I already had all the parts on hand. Does this help?

[@GardeningSolutions]

Are you in the U.S.? Any home improvement store will have everything (Ace, Home Depot, Lowes). It's only a couple of dollars in parts.
