The Best Aero Cloner Marijuana Cloning Technique: Griffin’s Tech
Clones not rooting in your aeroponic cloner? No worries, you’re covered with, by far, the best cloning solution for aeroponics and aerocloners.
This complete marijuana cloning technique delivers a 100% success rate and healthy strong clones right out of your aerocloner in 7 to 10 days every time.
Read the full modified Griffin’s Tech aero cloner technique and recipe below to start getting the best clones from your aeroponic cloning machine every single time!
Cloning weed with an aero cloner is a way to quickly create a bunch of cannabis plants from a single, larger mother plant. The idea behind cloning is to cut off a piece of a specific plant and then force that branch or “cutting” to grow roots. After your cutting has rooted, you have a new cannabis plant that’s essentially an identical copy of the mother plant. This means that clones will have similar growth patterns, bud structure, yield potential, THC levels, etc., as the plant they were cut from. If you’ve got a great plant or outstanding genetics, take clones to continue growing that excellent plant for your next grow.

Once you have roots, plant in a container and start growing, clones usually grow faster than plants grown from seed.
The simplest way to clone weed is to cut off the end of a branch and stick the cutting in a glass of water until it grows roots. The downside to this method is that clones take up to 6 weeks before they grow roots (each cutting is different).
So what’s the fastest way to make a bunch of clones ready to plant and root simultaneously? In many cases, the answer may be an aeroponic cloner.
Marijuana cloning with a hydroponic cloner also known as an aeroponic cloning machine (“aero cloner”) typically create roots within 14 days. The technique we prefer and have excellent success with is Griffin’s Tech Marijuana Cloning Technique (#griffinstech). When done correctly, you will have thriving, healthy clones ready to transplant with a 100% success rate in less than 14 days!

EZ-CLONE Low Pro Aero Cloning System: The Ultimate Aeroponic Cloning Solution
- Crafted from UV-protected, long-lasting HDPE plastic.
- Features an enhanced lip height, extended flange, and drainage channels for a guaranteed leak-proof structure.
- The alphanumeric lid ensures easy identification of individual cuttings and strains.
- Designed with 4-way finger slots for effortless cloning collar removal.
The EZ-CLONE Low Pro Aero Cloning System is a genuine aeroponic innovation. Every element of this patented aeroponic cloning method has been meticulously crafted precisely and passionately, resulting in the most efficient and user-centric cloning system. The tender plant base floats in the air in this setup, receiving gentle misting from an oxygen-enriched solution. It's as simple as setting it up and letting it work its magic. With minimal maintenance required, the EZ-CLONE Low Pros is a hassle-free choice. The system's design ensures that cuttings remain hydrated, eliminating the need for a humidity dome. This facilitates plant respiration and transpiration and significantly minimizes the threat of airborne fungi like powdery mildew, ensuring a stress-free environment for your plants.

Griffin’s Tech Marijuana Cloning Technique – Best Aero Cloner Process (100% Success)
Fastest Aero Cloner Marijuana Cloning Technique
If you’ve had issues with your cloning process (excessive rooting times, root rot, Pythium, etc.), use latex gloves to disassemble your cloner and pump entirely. Use a clean brush to scrub all surfaces and crevices with hot water, a little soap, and 5 ml/gal bleach water. Rinse and reassemble your cloner. This should only need to be done once.
Fill the cloner reservoir with clean water from a sterile source.
Add 2-3 ml/gal of Hormex (Vitamin B1 and Hormone concentrate) , pH to 6.0, install collars with gloves, add 10 ml/gal UC Roots (Root Zone Optimizer), let cloner run 15 minutes.
Take larger cuttings (roughly 6-9 inches).
Cut 1/2 inch below a node and clean up 2-3 inches of the lower portion of the stem. Allow your cuttings to soak in a cup of RO water, with 20 ml/gal UC Roots for at least 1 hour after taking them to prevent air pockets/embolisms.
Place your cuttings into the cloner.
Make a fresh secondary cut immediately before adding each cutting to the cloner at the base of the closest node up, which should be roughly 1/2 inch above your first cut. Found at each node is a plug of carbohydrates that aid in the rooting process. Making a fresh cut also helps prevent embolisms.
Add additional cloning solutions. *This is the best cloning solution for aeroponics.*
Add 2 ml/gal UC Roots every other day.
Water Change.
On day 7, drain the cloner reservoir, refill it with clean RO water, pH to 6.0, and turn on the cloner. Add 40 ml/gal Clonex Clone Solution and 5 ml/gal UC Roots . No Hormex.
Patiently wait for roots!
*Aeroponic Cloner Tips – Spray your cuts with a foliar Floralicious Plus solution every day to keep the cuttings green and happy. This also helps with humidity and stress issues. If clones not rooting in aeroponic cloner, throughly clean your cloner and revisit Step 1 above.

How long before roots?
All cuttings usually have roots within 14 days. However, each cutting is a little different, so it’s difficult to give an exact timeline. Some cuttings may take a few more days before they’re ready to plant. If you’re cloning multiple strains simultaneously, you may notice that some strains make roots quicker than others. Genetics plays a surprisingly big role in how well a particular plant reacts to cloning.
The following section shows you how to do that in soil or coco; then, I’ll show you how to add your clones to a hydroponic tub.
Note: As long as your cutting has at least a few roots, you can plant it. You don’t necessarily need to wait until you have long roots like the one above. Using some mycorrhizae at transplant to give your plants a boost and help them transition to full feeding and light.
Standard aero cloner cleaning
Rinse clone collars in hot water, scrub off and remove debris or algae, and place back in cloner. Fill the cloner reservoir with hot water and 5 ml/gal bleach and run for at least 8 hours. Drain and refill with plain tap water, then run for 15 minutes. Drain and sterilize collars using standard Permaclone methods (view here).
When do I add nutrients to aeroponics clones?
Clones in an aeroponic cloner should be fed nutrients right away at a minimum of 1/4 strength.
How long for clones to root in aerocloner?
Clones will root in 10 days or less in an aero cloner using Griffin’s Tech aero cloner marijuana cloning technique. This marijuana cloning technique requires and aero cloner and a nutrient solution first created by Griffin’s Tech.
What is an Aerocloner?
An aero cloner is a container that maintains ideal water and oxygen in a plant stem by constantly spraying the stem with water.

Implementing the above aerocloner recipe known as Griffin tech cloning, any grower will quickly learn how to get clones to root fast with a greater success rate of healthy starts that are ready to go into the garden.
A “clone” is when a piece of a plant grows its roots, and the new plant is a small but identical copy of the parent plant.
