FEEDBACK

Did the EZ-CLONE root cuttings quicker? If so, how much quicker?
The EZ-Clone rooted one particular cultivar 1 day earlier.

Was the EZ-CLONE easy to set up and use?
Yes.

Were the instructions adequate? Anything you’d add?
Yes – put pump on timer to keep temps down during days, and only use tap water.

Did the cuttings go limp in the EZ-CLONE? Any observations over the first few hours?
No, the cuttings never went limp.

How vigorous (or otherwise) was the root development? Did the roots look healthy? Airy? Nice and white? How prolific were they?
Roots everywhere, even out of the neoprene inserts. Visible daily growth. Pay attention to not get them caught in the pump!

What did you transfer the clones into? Soil/hydro? What sort of system? Media?
Directly into unamended coconut coir.

What base nutrients did you use to grow the clone on?
GH flora series nutrients.

What lighting did you use (for rooting and for early veg)?
A 2 foot T8 florescent.

Did the clones take easily to their new veg environment? Any signs of transplant shock?
Yes, they continued growing without a hitch. I could see the root growth in a clear cup.

How do the regular cuttings compare with the EZ-CLONE cuttings in veg?
EZ-Clone cuttings didn’t yellow at all, giving them a head start.

Did you take any steps to harden the cuttings up? If so, what?
None.

SUMMARY

What do you think of the EZ-CLONE’s build quality? Is it built to last?
The EZ-Clone is a quality item. The tub easily holds 5 gallons and doesn’t flex one bit when the water is sloshing around during transport.

What maintenance did the clones require inside the EZ-CLONE?
No need for upkeep on the cuttings…nothing could be simpler.

Do you think the EZ-CLONE is good value for money?
Yes, I will never buy rockwool again. I actually am going to buy another EZ-Clone.
