Ghosts in the Cloner

I mean… you could use vaporized hydrogen peroxide… or chlorine dioxide (Prokure makes pucks just for this purpose…) if you thought you could just fumigate it away.

Treating the water - without killing the clones, keeping things clean, cleaning the whole system not the basin. All those things might help. Switching away from the cloning style might help. -shrug-

thats why my idea of a heated insulated Conex is brilliant enough to want to gargle my own wang

one with 24 315 sealed up gets 175

found out a real funny way one time

you know how they have the table cranes in greenhouse that bring tables to you for transplanting etc then move them along? imagine the tables going through these type of boxes for ipm

not fumigate, suffocate

feed the plants what they need while you suffocate the bugs and then use tc for pathogens

cleanliness is key, but healthy plants is keyer lol

Put starsan in the cloner if they are damping off. Helps with hlv, fusarium, pyrhium, and pm too

There is plenty of helium.

It’s the pumping, refining, transportation and storage which is hard.

with bleach i dunno why you have issues. Ive had none on aerocloning and i used to use the rapid rooters.

Refinery shortage.

Use something else to sterilize lol.

Ethylene Oxide comes to mind :woozy_face:

Nah use helium.

Not a greenhouse gas. To light and floats to space. No damage to earth.

Works great for leak detection.

i would use h202 and lots of soap over and over to get rid of the slime/not slime but i forgot the term for that slimy stuff. bleach leaves a slimy residue as well, towels work good to clean.-the term I was thinking of is biofilm.

Mix up a batch of Hypochlorous Acid HOCl. It works better than bleach. Wash everything you can in a dishwasher. Throw away and rebuild manifold every time or every other time. Use simple tubing and mist sprayers for a few dollars.

How many clones do you do at a time? Gary from PA Hydro is coming out with a new cloner.

I have 2x 128-site and 2x 16-site EZ Cloners, but they are for internal use only. Dealing in clones is a good way to get blamed for mislabeling, bugs, mold and HLVD by people that typically don’t have their own garden in check.

Thanks for all the suggestions, especially going back to basics with domes @Medicine.grower .

dump a litre of h202 into full res and let it run for 2 hours, flip the pucks let it run for another hour and then drain and wipe clean. My buddy puts all the collars into a laundry bag and throws em in washer machine on sterilize cycle- genius!

Bake your shit at 180 to remove pathogens

200ml of zerotol will also nuke anything

Run with cleaner then air dry

I love ZeroTol and Physan. You just have to make sure you wash ALL the residue off with the latter.
