How to clone peppers - super easy using the AeroGarden (and Kratky method)

Описание: How to clone peppers using the AeroGarden. In this video I show an easy way to clone (propagate) peppers using the AeroGarden. This method could also be easily adapted to similar growing methods. It also works fine using the Kratky (non-circulating hydroponics) method. B.A. Kratky's channel:    / @growkratky5558  

I got the idea for trying this method from Matt Garver -    / @mattgarver   and Khang Starr -    / khangstarr010  

The materials I use to clone are very basic.
Sharp snips (or razor blade)
scissors
Sponge material (AeroGarden, BioDome or rock wool)
AeroGarden basket (or improvise something similar)

You can find these online here (links)

AeroGarden models I use in the video:
AeroGarden Bounty - http://amzn.to/2ngwpCx
AeroGarden Classic 7 (mine is older model) - http://amzn.to/2m0GyCm

I didn't mention nutrients in the video, but I used a three part mix of 4-18-38 Masterblend, Magnesium Sulfate and Calcium Nitrate. For cloning I've been using a weaker than full strength solution at the following levels. (If you're transplanting from something getting less nutrients you might want to use a weaker solution).
Master Blend - 1.6 g/gal.
Magnesium Sulfate - .8 g/gal
Calcium Nitrate - 1.6 g/gal

There is more information on my website on where to find these hydroponic nutrients and how to mix them.

The plant in the video is an Aji Painapple f2, which is a cross made by D3, who has a community crossing project on thehotpepper for more information. It's a cross between an Aji Pineapple and Butch T Yellow.
