      • I agree with Mark, on this planet 18 hours of sun is plenty or Alaska would be the #1 growing state. 

        I have built a few of those cloners some with domes and some without. Curious why you cut the tops out of those. I dont think it really matters but I have found that if I start one under a dome they droop/die pretty quick when I forget to put the dome back on. No clue why

        • The cups/collars were just to contain water from the sprinkler system escaping. I would lose 500 ml or more per day without them. I cut the tops off the cups thinking this could perhaps avoid rot if the leaves touched the sides. It all worked out fine so I left it as I did without any further adjustments. I never considered them to be domes.

          I also have some clones cloned in an ice cream box filled with water and under a dome. They have been very slow to root and needing the dome for at least a week after potting them into soil. They will droop in an hour without the dome, and get back to normal in an hour if I put the dome back on. Quite interesting to observe. 

          I use a water pump btw.

          • sounds like ur running 2 much pressure or 2 much water but am thinking a pressure issue lower that 2 the point no leaks ....  my 2 cents !!

            • I built it with stuff I had at hand, except for the nozzles. Bucket is 10 litres, I have about 5 litres of water in it. I dont think of it as very big? The cloner I bought is much bigger and also takes more clones obviously. 

              True, the pump is a bit strong but thats better than being too weak. Bucket was actually carefully chosen because it has a click on lid that prevents leakage on the sides. 

               

              But it does work as intended.
