The Aquastorm Turbocharged 28 Plant Capacity
Hormone free plant propagation The Aquastorm utilizes the aero-hydroponic method of plant propagation. The aero-hydroponic method is a hybrid combination of aquaculture and aeroponics which when combined together create the most sophisticated method of stem cutting propagation currently available. The tip of each stem cutting is submerged in a highly oxygenated nutrient solution while the trunk of the cutting's stem is in continuous contact with a high intensity oxygen charged 360 degree horizontal spray that stimulates rapid root formation without wilting in less than 7 days, and prolific root systems as pictured in as little as 14 days, all without the use of rooting hormones.

The Aquastorm is the first cloning machine to inject air via an external air pump, directly into a tubular manifold connected to the output tube of a submersible water pump. This pressurized air injection system produces the highest level of dissolved oxygen possible. The Aquastorm's unique turbocharged air injection system doubles as humidifier. As air is injected into the system, the rooting chamber pressurizes creating a gaseous exchange which pushes warm moist air out through the oversized holes in the rubber plant holders and into the plants foliage eliminating the need for a humidity dome. Lifetime split rubber plant holders The Aquastorm is the only cloning machine on the market to feature lifetime rubber plant holders. Our plant holders are custom made from a natural SBR rubber blend which is the same material used to make the rubber grommets found on most hydroponic systems. The result is a plant holder that is impervious to nutrient salts, bleach, and bacteria. Our plant holders will last the life of your cloning machine, unlike cheap neoprene foam rubber plugs and bacteria harboring coconut fiber covers that need periodic replacement. And because our plant holders allow each cutting to hang freely without shielding the stem from the nutrient spray with a plastic net pot, the cuttings exhibit greater root development because the stem is in direct contact with the nutrient spray. This feature also allows the grower to leave the cuttings in the Aquastorm longer without the worry of the roots entrapping themselves in the bottom and sides of a plastic net pot enabling your cuttings to produce a prolific root system so they take off in record time after transplantation. Our plant holders are also the secret to our leak proof plastic lid. The underside of each rubber plant holder, act together as a series of spray baffles which prevent the nutrient spray from exiting the open holes in each plant holder. This allows the grower to root from 1-28 cuttings without the worry of damaging surrounding surfaces such as mylar from nutrient salt over spray. The baffle effect and the horizontal nutrient spray allow the grower to check each cutting for signs of rooting individually without the need to remove the Aquastorm's lid or unplug the submersible water pump. Each split rubber plant holder features a vertical split down one side to facilitate easy insertion and removal of your delicate stem cuttings. Adjustable submersible pump base The Aquastorm's adjustable submersible pump base allows the grower to adjust the position of the pumps output tube with the spray diffuser for the perfect 360 degree spray pattern for uniform root formation. It features a tight wall to wall fit, nutrient resistant industrial grade suction cups, and our exclusive releasable cable tie mounting system. Our pump base allows you to remove the water pump from its base to service or replace it unlike other brands that glue their pumps directly to the pump base forcing the user to replace the whole unit in the event of a failure.
The Aquastorm goes beyond all other cloning machines above and beyond its price range by including a top of the line 25 watt Visi-Therm Stealth, shatter-proof, submersible heater with an adjustable temperature dial by Aquarium Systems. This takes the guess work out of proper nutrient temperature management for increased success rates. Why pay $300 dollars for a similar capacity cloning machine and get less? The Aquastorm's success rates are due to a combination of aseptic technique on the part of the grower, precise temperature control, and the Aquastorm's high levels of dissolved oxygen at the root zone. Success rates consistently average between 90-95% without rooting hormones or fungicide, to 99-100% with use of a hydroponic grade fungicide and hands on experience.
The Aquastorm includes the following components:
1. Leak proof snap on lid and a compact 3.5 gallon reservoir just 12 inches
