GroClone PRODUCT
INFORMATION
GroClone is NOT just
another knock-off of other cloning units already on the market. It IS NOT an
airoponic system or a bubbler system. GroClone IS a new and innovative approach
to cloning plants that provides a tremendous amount of oxygen in a form that is
readily usable by the cuttings. It is not complicated because cloning doesn't
need to be. Simply put, it supplies what a cutting needs to develop roots.
.
GroClone was designed to provide these 4 basic requirements:
1)
|
RELIABILITY - GroClone
can be used in temperature ranges that can be problematic for other cloning
techniques. GroClone is designed to minimize the absorption of surface
temperatures and the unit’s small water pump adds virtually no additional heat
to the reservoir so the units maintain a temperature that is only 3-5 degrees
over ambient temperature. It has been tested in temperature ranges of up to 85
degrees constant room temperature and in varying temperatures of 75 to 93
degrees with 100% success in 3-8 days. |

2)
|
ENERGY EFFICIENCY – The GroClone reservoir
holds only two gallons of water and under most conditions water does not need
to be replenished or changed during the rooting cycle. The small .09 amp pump
provides minimal electricity needs and is adapted to serve double duty as an
oxygen infuser, which eliminates the need for any additional air pumps or
bubble stones. |
| |
3)
|
SIMPLICITY – GroClone is specifically designed
to create an ideal rooting environment by providing an abundance of
continuously diffused fresh oxygen throughout the water reservoir. This unique
method needs no monitoring and allows the plant cuttings to thrive. It results
in a high continuous success rate of healthy root formation without all the
headaches associated with other techniques. GroClone does not require the use
of a dome and all indicated results have been without the use of supplemental
additives.

4)
|
COMPACTIBILITY – GroClone provides 53 cutting
sites in a small 12x24x4”unit and fits under any standard 2’ lighting fixture
which makes it a perfect tabletop unit. To maximize sites 2 units fit side by
side under a single 4’ fixture providing a capacity for 106 cuttings. The unit
requires only two gallons of water and weighs only 13 lbs. while in operation
and can be easily moved when full. |

There are many different ways to root cuttings or clone plants. However, the
problem with most of them is they operate on strict environmental control
guidelines with tedious monitoring and as a result an individual needs a strong
knowledge of cuttings. Some of these techniques would include the need for high
humidity, conducive to molds, along with tedious watering. Other techniques use
large water pumps in the reservoir that have a tendency to overheat the water
and as a result increase the incidence of stem rot because of lack of oxygen
around the stem, which make these techniques more sensitive to warmer external
temperatures.
Darren P. Designer -
“I've been cloning for 20 years. The reason I designed this product is because I
personally have spent a lot of valuable time and money through trial and error
with different techniques. I wasn't getting the consistent results I expected
or wanted from other cloning techniques. This led to designing the groClone
system, which has met and exceeded my expectations. .” I honestly do not
believe you'll find a better cloning system on the market that will give you
these results." GroClone
