No it won't work, i think because to root a cutting you have to cut the leaves, just let a few chunks of leaves. If you remove almost all the leaves of a plant, it won't recover. BUT, what you can do is digging out the roots ball in the soil, then rince it with water to remove all the dirt and put it in an hydro set up. But why don't you seed directly in an hydro system ?

im talking about cutting and rooting a plant with ALL its leaves im saying the plant is still young and in vegitation
im not useing a typical hydro system.im useing a MediumLess DWC bucket
and iv done it before but it was a hassel to get the seeds supported till there of size to support them selfs
Bump
what im talking bout here is growing from seed to plant with medium less DWCQuote:

If you wash gently the roots to remove the soil, the plants will recover. Try not to break one root. Before putting it in hydroton, you could put it in a clone bubbler system hanged with a clotheclip over the bubbling solution, in order to refresh the roots during a few days with light nutes concentration. I've done it yet and it works.

im not asking about washing soil off roots NOT interested in that
