Time for a new cloner.......based on a Craftsman 10 gallon tote from Lowes and a 250 gph aqua farm pump

First we glue a bottle cap onto the bottom of the pump to keep it stable

In 1/2" pvc there are 3 T's and 4 elbows. Two pieces of pipe @ 5 5/8" long, Two pieces @ 12 1/8" long and four 3" pieces. There is a threaded fitting that comes with the pimp.....that needs to be screwed in, then slip the T over and make a mark....so it goes back together the same way. I just hot glued that T after I marked it. The rest of the pieces are press fit only.

I layed out and drilled 12 holes in the top. Added 2" net pots. I will cut the bottom off those pots. One hole will be for the cord. It really pays to run the drill in reverse here. IMG_20201212_105849468.jpg IMG_20201212_110108943.jpg IMG_20201212_110115093.jpg IMG_20201212_110124455.jpg

I bought this bag of sprayers back in the day and will drill holes in the pvc for the soon

These are the nozzles I will drill holes for IMG_20201213_151915540_BURST000_COVER_TOP.jpg IMG_20201213_152207496.jpg

Assembled.and then with 4 gallons of water IMG_20201213_152504316.jpg IMG_20201213_161809276.jpg
I just need to cut off the net pot bottoms and we are going to assemble and run,

It's running good...........it may leak at the top it's only plastic, not a machined joint. If it does I will add a foam weatherstrip to the top of the tote to give more clamping pressure. So far so good, do I added some clones to her and set the pump timing to constant for now :)

Very nice Willie! Thats some clean craftsmanship. I built a crappier version of this. Used the same sprayers. Works fine though.

You built a turbokraft that doesnt leak...well done.

I think im going to buy some of them nozzles...i have the PVC and the fittings and it will work WAY better than the one i paid triple or more for !

I love the cap glued under the pump.....genius !
