But yeah, cloning machines are not just for clones. Seedlings take off like crazy in them and is why I'll be starting sprouts and doing about 10 days in veg using my cloner then planting into soil from now on. VG to clone machine is the fastest and most robust performance I've ever seen starting a new grow.
Did a test run on this grow so now I'm making the wholesale switch because it was so dang fast and the young sprouts absolutely loved it compared to traditional ways of starting in soil from the start or using plugs/rockwool or anything else along those lines.
In hydro it's even easier. Start in a cloner for veg and flower in DWC
