8 Site Aeroponic Plant Cloner - Clone Bucket 8 Black Edition From Hydro West

Much better bucket than the six site one.. I bought that one first.. It worked fine until holes clogged.. And then unclogging the holes made them too big and the water no longer would spray.. You can read from other reviews the only way to get a replacement sprayer is to make one.. I have tried using the airstone.. They don't work well.. However this clone bucket.. The spray ports on this CAN be replaced!!.. I bought a pack of 50 nozzles so I won't have this problem.. However.. They did cut the holes on this bucket larger than the standard size.. The standard size collars for your cuttings are too small.. They do give you 8 that fit.. But reordering them may be a problem because it is a bigger size.. So hang onto the ones that come with this machine!!

works excellently!!!! I also bought a cycle timer for 12 bux to have the pump run for 20 min and shut off for 10 min to keep temps down.....if you leave it run continuously it will make water temperatures too high for root development...so the shut off is a must!!!! I grew good strong roots on clones in 8 days!!!!!!very very happy since i have had hardly any to no success for over a year(doing it with propagation dome and rockwool)My only complaint is the pump is now making a buzzing sound only after one batch and no instructions to clean pump(disassembly) definitely run a bleach solution after each batch to clean nozzles and pump but mine is buzzing now after a week.....may complain to seller to get new pump? I am going to try disassembly first to see the issue......otherwise a great unit...it really works.....follow instructions and get results!!!!

I saw two of my five cuttings, root in six days. ( I believe lack of rooting on other three was probably due to poor plant vigor in the mother I took them from.) Unfortunately, after one week the pump started to sound like a little jack hammer, as another reviewer described. According to the maker, the noise would indicate that the pump was running dry and should be primed. I don't know how it could run dry as it has been submerged the entire time it's been operating but I did remove the spray assembly and primed the pump but it did not stop the noise and I will have to discontinue using it. Too bad - I can tell that it would be a great way to root clones if only it had a decent pump.

Just arrived today, setup was a breeze and everything is working as advertised took 6 cuttings and left 2 open holes which I'll use to monitor water temps and nutrient levels, will revisit in a few days to report on my 6 cuttings. *note* Pump failed after 5 days, tattletale thermometer showed water temp in excess of 140 degrees F, all 6 cuttings died. Replaced pump with https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07426L1R3/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and $1.25 1/2 male to male threaded pvc adapter

The kit is a good idea and is very simple to use but for $45 the manufacture should have used a higher quality pump. I was able to get two batches of clones before the pump rattled its self apart. I was diligent at keeping the water level at the right height so that the pump wouldn’t run dry. This kit is a great idea just needs a better pump. Also the holes for the foam plugs are slightly too large for the foam plugs. They slip a lot. I built my own cloning bucket with a better fountain pump and standard hydroponic foam plugs. I drilled my holes to 1 5/8” which gives a good grip on the foam plugs. This would be a 5 star review if the pump had kept working, the plugs didn’t slip and the cost was closer to $25-$30.

This is a great little cloner.Just follow the directions to the T and you will achieve 100% success rates.Take care when affixing the pump to the bottom as it will turn over if you don't.Shake it around in the water first and rub the suction cups with your fingers then affix to bottom.Fill to bottom of spray head with water,add the proper amount of nutrients and then let it run for awhile before adding cuts.If you're having trouble with water getting too warm then just add a timer and set it to run the pump every 15 minutes.That's what I did and it works very well.In the end,if you can't be successful with this cloner you are having bigger problems. ;)

I dislike that the water comes out of the top of the bucket and through the foam discs. I also didn't like that the notch for the cord didn't allow you to fully close the lid. It also didn't root my plants that just wilted and died. Nothing like youtubers that show you otherwise.

This cloner worked well for several rounds of cannabis clones but then the pump started getting noisy which I can deal with but then the lid leaked so now it's going in the trash. I'd recommend a different cloner.
