Here's what I do. I cut, then carefully skinaway the outer layer all around the entire stem between the bottom two node i plan to place under the surface, or atleast 1/2 inch long, then i cut the stem down the center to pretty much make it a fork. then i dip in the clonex and put them in rapid rooters.
This picture was taken 2 mins ago. it was 1 week yesterday since i cut them, and as you can see from the one i am lifting by the plant itself, the roots are starting to peak through. I use simple individual containers for each one, and i trying to keep about 1/8" of water, just a little, in the bottom. I DO NOT mist at all. when you "mist" the clones, the leaves absorbs the water directly. So the plant senses it has no need to accelerate root growth. I mean, why would it? it's leaves are getting what they needs directly from when you mist your clones. So don't mist your clones, and you will encourage them to spout roots faster, because that will be the only way for them to get water. Like the name implies, it's a "weed" it will grow. And i do not use a clone dome, I find it increase my temp far to high. so i have them just directly under a T5, about 4-5 inches away. You can see the clones look healthy, all the leaves are still green, only just the other day did some of the tips start turning yellow. I've had a 100% success rate. It will still be a day or two before i place these in soil, I want to let more of the roots pop out.
Oh and don't let the names on the containers fool you, these are Mango Kush.
ty for the great response!!!!
