RE: Update: The Cloner Prototype Worked And Roots Grew
this is deep water culture cloning not aero cloning. i believe the stems are constantly submerged in water

Yes, once I got the roots to grown, they sat in the water constantly until I transplanted the rooted cuttings. ;)
Thanks for your comment @legalcanada!
Hmmm... seems to go against what I know about stimulating root development, not to say it can't work well. Honestly, the only time I've had cuttings die in the past couple years is when my friend (who was watching my garden while I was away for 3 days) watered the cubes "cause they were drying out". Being in an over wet environment killed 11 out of 12 cuttings. Typically I have close to 100% success with little to no leaf yellowing using my method.
Perhaps combining a couple of my tips with this method would improve the time.
Just some thoughts. Happy growing!
generally there is no rockwool cube, they use neoprene pucks which only hold the stem in place while the tip is constantly submerged in aerated water for bubble cloners, aerocloners are similar but the stems are misted instead of submerged. some people use a bubble cloner like an aerocloner, by having the stems above the water in the popping bubbles, but that's not how they're intended
I got ya... makes sense.
