Air has less parts no need for a timer for the air pump and is more set it & forget it style also water pump can heat up the water so weighing the pros&cons air is the way to go also personally only use water straight old tap water because after many different approaches i found less is more over my years of experience, now maintaining 98-99% return on all my roots with zero additives so to maintain&master the basic setup go from there & avoid doing more than you need where ones patients will teach you to see what's best&cheaper or generally makes more sense, good luck. not that its needed if you do It right.

. Would you PLEASE do s video on care or/ propagation of Monstera Adansonii? aka actual swiss cheese plant/ vine. I have one and i adore the nature of it, but I just cant' seem to keep this one plant happy despite doing so well now with 90% of all my other house plants. Ironically, a struggle plants for me also is the supposedly easy spider plant. I am now suspicious if the two might be similarly watering sensitive( soil type/ makeup depending of course? I get ends of old AND new foliage turning brown and dying. seems to happen no matter how i attempt ot shift the watering. ugh I am so frustrated.

can you flower with just the air stones or do you also need it to have drip lines to feed once a day from the top? i have a system with air stones and drip lines but the pump that goes to the drip lines i kinda need to pull it off and have it recirculate the water in the res tank to not have the nutrients clog the air stones so i wanted to see if i could get away with not using the drip lines to feed once a day or is it really needed to feed the plants from the top? mmj plants.

Been using the sprayer method for about a year now. Works great. I only use the collars alone, the hole I drilled is just small enough to hold the collars. Smaller collar are better. I was able to fit 8 collars in there. I also use a air pump along with the sprayer it Helps cool the water a bit. Once I see feeder roots, 2 weeks usually, I transplant to a solo cup for a week and then into final spot after that. No need for soil till the solo cup stage.

Now I know the difference between the spraying method vs the air stone method. I had watched another video the other night on the sprayer method and thought it was cool - they built it theirs differently than you did using PVC pipes and different sprayer nozzles. But I liked that you demonstrated both method and I loved that you drew pics of both at the beginning to help us visualize.

thanks for Video, Looking to make one with 3-4 inch holes and sponges for larger cuttings, such as Monsteras, Larger philodendrons etc. All the maufactureres only do 2 inch holes and sponges for tiny cuttings. Any ideas, for one that will hold larger sponges and plants without falling in?

I love this Idea to keep water quantity lower. I will have to pack the water up and down stairs so looking to minimize. Question: Can this idea be used to fully grow my plants through their life cycle? I plan to grow tomatoes, beans, peas, etc. I would assume a timer would be needed but is this a bad idea all together?

cut the bottom of the net pots off so u can transplant them to another setup an roots dont get entangled in the net pots. No growing media is needed also. This can also be made with a airpump with a water level right below the stems like a oxycloner

Kevin great video. Use a cup of hot water to soften the pipework up this will make it much easier to push over the little ridge on the pump. I use it all the time when I have to get tight pipes over adaptors and the like.

How this video only has 45k views in two years is beyond me. Probably it's just a bit too engineered for most gardener personality types, and they wouldn't consider the need to have a few clones on hand at a given time.

Great drawing of the mechanics involved. Not saying youre an artist but I totally got the visual you were trying to share. Thank you. Its time to put my hubby and his tools to use now

What's a good spray schedule? Can you spray 24\7? Some people do a few second on then a couple minutes off? I'm talking not only for cloning but for full growth as well. If there's a difference.

What about if I used a 2. 5 gallon bucket with the same width as a 5gallon for the lid. and went the air stone way. would that still work out. Almost like a mini version of this?

I 3d print my own net cups but i leave the bottoms completely open so the roots are easy to remove and not down inside the small holes in the bottom of the net cup. Great video!
