Cloning in DWC

no you cant, the rockwool will be to wet. you can do dwc with a raft type system with the stem suspended about 1/8th of an inch. in the solution. then you will not need a dome. but rockwool + dwc is not good.
growing it would be fine for... cloning they wouldn't root successfully in a warter logged medium.

you should not give a clone any nutes untell its has a good root system
and yes you can take a clone and put it right into the dwc system and leave it there untell its time to harvest it
put it in with the stem at least 1 inch below the water
in about 1 to 2wks you will have roots
then in about 2wks from there introduce a very light nute mix (the plant will let you know when to add or incress nutes)
with dwc or any hydro system i suggest you get a understanding on handling and maintaining "ph levels"
get a digital ph and ppm meter
you could put all the nutes you want in your system but if the ph is off
the plants will not eat

I would use a bubble cloner but the water would evap to fast.
I have 3 plants growing in DWC that i put in rockwool and put 1ml of B-1 Thrive in the water. just just water cloner won't work for me. The way I was thinking of doing it is taking a clone dipping it in cloning gel, place in rockwool then into the DWC system.
Wy the way thoes air sticks relay suck. I use a single little green air stone thing and it puts off more bubbles then the blue sticks do. The Air pump I am using is rated to be used in 30 to 60 gallons
I bought a PH pen to and I tested it and well the PH doesn't realy change it stays around 7.0. I have 3 of them in a net pot because i just wanted to see how hard it would be to grow and the guy at the local hydro store said that I can just just plane solid plant food that is for veg and flowering in a hydro system and it works awsome. I only have a single 45w CFL for the 3 plants and I have leaves almost as big as my hand.
Oh yea my question is can I use latex paint to cover the out side of the container to help light getting into it?

if it wants water it will grow roots faster, let it dry out a bit
