Alright everyone. I posted a little while back asking if anyone had used the Clone King 25. Lots of views but no responses. So I got one.
I can only speak for myself, but I have had trouble with cloning. I have had some clones turn out great, don't get me wrong. But I lose 3 clones for every one that makes it. I have gotten some great strains, but I would rather not have to keep buying seeds, especially if I find something that works well and I can make RSO from it.
Clone King 25
I found this on ebay originally and they said nearly 100% success rate. I figured for $70 or so, what do I have to lose. Here is what the website has to say about the 25:

Fill the reservoir with water. The reservoir holds about 4 – 5 gallons of water when The Clone King is operating.

Place your insert and cutting in the machine.
Plug The Clone King in and your done.
Ease of Use:
We can not emphasize enough how easy this machine is to use. Anyone can be successful by following a few simple directions. Cloning your favorite plant is a snap. Even if you have absolutely no cloning experience at all you can have your Clone King 25 set up and running within 30 minutes. A 100% success rate is the norm when cloning with The Clone King 25. This is a time tested design that has had fantastic success with a multitude of plant species and varieties. Expect plants to root in half the time of a conventional system without the problem of wilting or the trouble of a humidity dome. The Clone King 25 creates explosive root development which will aid in all phases of your plants life producing greater vigor and yield. In as little as 3 days you will see tiny root bumps coming off of your cutting. In 5-7 days roots are formed and expanding rapidly. At the 10-14 day mark your newly rooted plants are ready to transplant into whatever growing medium you prefer. Your new clones will perform great in dirt, a hydroponic or aeroponic grow system as they move to the vegetative growth stage. The Clone King 25 can easily adjust to root anywhere from 1 to 25 cuttings. Do not be fooled by over priced cloning machines. This machine will work as well if not better than anything on the market at half of the price. The Clone King 25 is unmatched in its simplicity, quality and success rate.
Sounds great, right?
So here is what I got.
It was very well packed.
It took about 10 minutes to put it together. Put the spray head on the pump and mount the pump on the bottom of the reservoir.
Then fill it with plain tap water and you put the top on. They say not to use a dome or cloning solution. I am trying the first round exactly the way they direct.
It comes with 30 baskets (extras) and tops.
You cut your clone with a razor blade at 45 degree angle. They say do not split or scrape the cutting. Insert it into the top then into the basket.
Then I put them in the holes and plugged it in.

I took 4 clones from my Critical Silver Super Haze. 2 larger ones and 2 smaller ones. They say in 1 week the roots will be starting and by 2 weeks they will be ready to transplant. We will see.
