Hydrofarm OXY CLONE Instrucciones página 3

MAINTENANCE
• The oxyCLONE reservoir and lid should simply be washed
in warm water and dish soap between propagation cycles.
• Growers have been reusing oxyCERTS for a much longer
time compared to neoprene inserts. oxyCERTS can be
cleaned with warm water and dish soap.
• The pump has an internal sponge filter that should also be
rinsed clean between cycles.
CLONING TIPS
• Place your cuttings in the oxyCLONE so their stems are
submerged into the water (around 1" deep or as desired, up
to 3". Please see Figure 2 for an illustration of this.)
• When taking your cuttings, remove extraneous leaves.
Some growers also cut the largest leaves in half (figure 2).
This allows the cutting to focus its energy more on the
development of roots and less on keeping these older
leaves alive. Always remove leaves that would end up
below the oxyCERT collar.
• The healthiest clones come from healthy parent plants
grown under T5s, induction lights, or metal halide lamps.
• Reduce the parent plant's fertilizer dosage by half, one
week before taking cuttings.
• Wash hands or use a fresh pair of nitrile gloves. Take
cuttings using razor sharp pruners that are clean and
sterile.
• While clones can be small or large, try to select cuttings
that are approximately six inches in total length.
• Please see Figure 3 for an illustration of how the system
looks when properly set up and supporting healthy, rooted
cuttings.
• For additional aeration you can remove the muffler
attachment from the venturi tube although this will
generate additional noise, See Figure 4.
