I had a fair amount of luck this summer rooting clones from my outdoor plants by just stickin' em in cloning powder then straight into medium, no dome at all (after years of using an aerocloner). One thing that seemed to work really well that I picked up from a guest I heard on a podcast... rather than simply taking a few cuts and then trimming them down and removing lower leaf nodules, I stripped lower leaves off at the nodules on branches I intended to clone (i.e. stripped while still on the mother plant), waited a few days, then snipped. The guest who mentioned it was talking about the droop clones often get and how pre-trimming allowed the mother plant to easily absorb the stress rather than putting all that on a cutting. Early results seemed promising, YMMV.
