Currently building a bubble cloner... Need suggestions on air stones and air pump, unless my 3.5w one will work. It’s a 7 gallon tote.

Was working with the drill and cut my hand up after the top cracked. This top is super sturdy and messed up my drill bit. I'm weeks away from taking clones so I have time to work on it.

You can run the drill in reverse when cutting the holes. Keeps em clean, and wont snap your wrist or crack the plastic when it "grabs" like in forward.
I used a couple 14" square stones (light blue colored) from Wallmart in my bubble cloners. They run about $3 each. They also have a dual diaphram air pump for $10 that will run 3-4 of those stones.

Dunno if you did or not, but start the pilot hole only, then switch to reverse to let it cut through. It won't want to grab and break the plastic that way
It'll more melt /grind its way through.

I think my upper body strength is lacking because when I ran it in reverse nothing would happen, like it was just spinning, so I ran it the other way and it would grab the tote so I would switch it and continue. It cracked twice. Gotta start doing push-ups or something

No doubt. For being so inexpensive, they get down. I still have every one Ive ever bought in working condition too.
Plus they're like Nokia brick phones. Idk how many times those things have dropped from like 4ft onto concrete *PAH* n bounce a coupla times. I drop a remote and all the batteries going flying everywhere, chipped, lid missing for days like wtf how did it end up over there lmao

I've had luck making the pilot hole, pressing against it, small burst triggering forward rotation, until it grooves the plastic full circle a bit, then put it in reverse and push down while holding the trigger.

Removing the BOD allowed me to tie down the Lucky 7’s. I can already tell this plant will yield well.

I can remember a few years ago someone won a cannabis cup with the lucky 7's. I hope you get a special one as well. I remember also some really nice flower shots of that plant. Probably way back in the greenpoint thread over at RIU.
