The Aeroponic Cloner: Its Function And Uses
If you garden indoors on a large scale in a greenhouse setting, you are likely producing plants that will be sold to the public. Because of good sales and a fast turnover of plants, you need to be able to efficiently keep more new plants coming, and it is for this reason that growers turn to the aeroponic cloner. Aeroponic cloners are used to accelerate the growth of roots on cuttings, giving you strong young transplants that will quickly take root and grow. An aeroponic cloner is also a great choice for those practicing hydroponic gardening, where plants grow quickly and must be replaced with new ones.
With aeroponics, the plant is suspended in netting supporting the crown, and grown in no soil at all but hanging in the air. The plant receives nutrients via a misting spray of nutrient solution directly on the roots. Because the roots are exposed to oxygen, it promotes fast growth as well as a large reduction of plant diseases.
An aeroponic cloner functions in a similar manner. Cuttings are placed in special trays that hold them in place, and periodically rooting hormones are sprayed onto the ends of the exposed cuttings to induce the growth of roots. A pump is used in the plant cloner to bring the rooting hormone solution to the sprayers, and to increase the air temperature a humidity dome is used. Air pumps are also used to keep air circulating so as to prevent mold and other diseases from gaining a hold on the plants.
An easy way to get started with an plant cloner is to purchase plant cloning kits. With cloning kits, everything you need will be included, so it is a simple matter to set the equipment up and get started producing new plants right away.
In addition to an aeroponic cloner, you may also wish to get plant cloning kits that allow you to start new plants in other growing media. These cloning kits allow you to start new plants in clone plugs, as an alternative to aeroponic cloners.
There are additional supplies that you will want to use with cloning kits in order to ensure success at plant propagation. Sharp gardening shears, rooting hormone, rooting solution, cloning gel, propagation trays, perhaps rockwool cubes and humidity propagation domes are all helpful in the pursuit of starting new plants easily and well.
You can find an aeroponic cloner and all manner of cloning supplies, including kits, from well-stocked discount hydroponic gardening online merchants. These suppliers will also carry all of the items you need to grow your plants on to maturity as well.

Hydroponic Growing - Lighting
It’s a general consensus that growing herb is best done with a good hydro system. Hydroponics is the process of growing a plant without soil. There are a couple of different ways to grow with hydro, but regardless you need to pick up the following:
• Lighting
• Nutrient System (usually a 3-bottle system)
• 1 PPM Meter (measures nutrients in parts per million)
• 5 gallons of purified H20 (or more depending on setup)
• Seeds
• Grow medium (I prefer hydroton, but more on this later)
Choosing your lighting will be the first task. There are several technologies out there, all of which have advantages and disadvantages.
Compact fluorescent lighting is the cheapest way to grow herb. Of course, it is also the least effective. For vegetative growth, use the most blue temperature (5000k+), and for flowering use predominantly warm light (2500k-3000k).
This system combines an HID metal halide bulb with a digital ballast. Metal Halide has a blue hue that makes it very effective for vegetative growth but not for flowering. These systems do use a lot of electricity and give off a decent amount of heat so you should always use them in conjunction with good ventilation.
LED technology is probably the future of growing. NASA is developing LED technology is hopes of using it to sustain life in outer-space. A good LED panel is expensive but gives off virtually no heat and uses less electricity than your television. The light is tuned red and blue, surprisingly the only 2 colors marijuana needs to flourish.
HPS is another HID system and as such uses a bulb and a ballast. This system is recognized as the most effective way to grow. It does use a lot of electricity and give off some heat so only use HPS lighting in conjunction with good ventilation.
Hopefully you have a better idea of which lighting system to use. No matter what your choice, ventilation is always important. Stale air will stunt growth and invite insects, mildew, and other things you don’t need around your girls. You really can’t have too many fans! Anyway, lighting is usually the most expensive part of the setup, so once you figure that out its time to select some nutrients.

Growing Bonsai With Artificial Light
Bonsai is a style of gardening that artistically miniaturizes trees by growing them in containers. It got its start in China, but also has famous schools in both Japanese and Korean stylings. While bonsai can be grown as outdoor plants, you can also grow some bonsai indoors using artificial grow lights.
The container adds a lot to the beauty of the bonsai. Make sure your bonsai pot has a drainage hole for excess water to escape. Informally shaped plants look super in round containers, while more formal plants shine in containers in more of a square or rectangular shape. You will want to select a pot that looks nice with the foliage of your bonsai.
The soil in which your bonsai tree lives need to be free draining. You will often find items such as gravel, fired clay pellets, akadama, and kanuma yellow pumice in a bonsai soil mix. The tree will need to be repotted every two years or so, and root pruned. This helps to keep the tree small and also encourages root growth, which helps the tree take in moisture more effectively.
You will need some special hand tools to prune your bonsai properly. A concave cutter will allow you to make pruning cuts that leave no stubs on a branch. Wire pliers, shears, and branch bending jacks are all used to help shape the tree into attractive shapes. The tree is wired with anodized aluminum or copper wire to help maintain the branches in the correct placement until they are set in position.
Wiring the bonsai tree helps to shape it properly. You can perform this task in the spring or fall ideally. You wrap the trunk of your tree in wire, and then spiral the wire around each branch of the tree so you can bend the wire in order to shape the tree as you wish. You then leave this wire on for a single growing season and then remove it before it leaves marks on the bark, or even girdles the tree, which can kill it. Thicker wires are used for stronger branches, and thinner wire for the lighter ones. Be gentle when bending branches, because it is easy to split or break them inadvertently. Instead, work slowly and make small changes, let the tree adapt, and then make another small adjustment, and in this way you can shape the tree without doing damage to it.
Bonsai can be grown successfully under fluorescent grow lights. You will want to keep your grow lamps very close to the top of your tallest tree. Simple light fixtures for this type of bulb come with electronic digital ballasts already installed, so they are plug-in ready. Leave them on daily for 16 hours.
