EZ-Clone Low Pro 16 Cutting System | 16 Sites, 450 GPH Pump

Why the EZ Clone 16 Low Pro Sits Lower Than the Classic

The Low Pro name is about height, and height is the reason this one exists. The lid and reservoir were shortened while the plastic was thickened, so the whole unit clears a shelf the taller systems do not. It stands 12.38 in tall on a 14.31 by 14.75 in footprint and weighs 10 lb dry. The reservoir holds between two and a half and 3 gal depending on how you fill it. A 450 GPH pump feeds a manifold of 360 degree misters under the lid. Sixteen sites sit in the lid with neoprene collars, and the collars hold a cutting without crushing the stem. Alphanumeric markings are moulded into the plastic rather than printed on. That matters after a season of bleach, when a printed grid has long since gone. Four way finger slots let you lift a collar out without tweezers. The body is UV protected HDPE, with an extended flange and drainage gutters around the lip. Rooting compound and Clear Rez samples come in the box.

What an Aeroponic Cloner Does That a Dome and Tray Cannot

Suspending a stem in mist rather than burying it in medium changes what the cutting has to do. Roots form in air with oxygen on every surface, so they come out white and branched instead of thin and searching. No humidity dome is needed, which removes the daily venting that domes demand. That is the trade for running a pump, and the pump is the part that fails. Check the misters weekly, because one blocked nozzle leaves a dead site you will not notice until transplant. Keep the solution cool and change it rather than topping it up. The lip and gutters exist because these units get lifted while full. A system this size suits a small room taking a couple of dozen cuttings at a time. Rooms cloning by the hundred want a larger site count rather than several of these. Cuttings usually root in seven to twelve days at room temperature, and go straight into plugs.
