Cloner fill.

Last night I filled up the cloner with the proper amount of water, adjusted to a pH of 6.0 and dropped in a few Thrivealive drops in the container.  As usual, I let the water and system flush through again and then adjusted once it was cleaned and I was ready to load it up.  A small device really just requiring small cuts due to the distance of the  ports where the cuttings go.  So, just for the first round, I had a few basil plants, which probably would root if you tossed them in a puddle outside, they're so easy.  A few Roma tomato cuttings from the mother plant in the growbooth, and some cherry tomatoes from an older outdoor plant.  Finally, some of the hot thai pepper cuttings which being semi-woody, always take forever to even have some primary rooting begin to show on them.  I have the unit in a warm, but not too warm place, not in direct light, and I'll pick up some more foliar spray to get them through the first week.

I saw some wilting today, but I am always careful with the cuttings, I use clonex gel on them and add the remaining amount into the closing water as they recommend.   I do it quickly, with a sterile blade, and its anywhere really from a 90 to 45 degree cut.  I hear everyone has a different opinion even between experts, so I just do it quick and clean and dip them.

I did not fill up all the ports since there is a limited amount of space for these plants, so I have a few extra ports should I want to add some more cuttings.

I will add a photo of this later this weekend when I have time.  My main concern was getting the cuttings settled versus taking photos, so we'll have an update in a day or two.
