So I wasn't really cloning, cloning... cuz 'member when I said I wasn't cloning? So what had happened was I was kind of pruning...

Quick run-down I have the rooting pods soaking in water and Fox Farms Rhize Up (good root bugs).

Air is bad, so here's how I cut. the blue lines are just score marks, very light with the blade. Then I re-trim the two nodes with the blade, then the 45 degree cut and straight to the clone-x

The only real time critical part is from the 45 cut to the gel, but knowing what you are going to do it takes about 5 seconds. I do all the leaf trimming above that before messing with the stem.
After the gel, into the other root hormones then shake off the excess

And 7 little Indians all in a dome. 18/6 from now until flip. The rooting timeline is like regular clones, but the time in the solo-cup takes a bit waiting for re-veg.
Note for later - 5 of the 7 were inside shoots off the bottom-most node remaining on each main limb. The two others were also inside but a little higher. If the 2 shorties grow better, I'll know next time I "don't clone"

I use little containers for the root stuff because I toss out the leftovers.
