Trimmin clones when moms 2ndary growth is too tight, nay, knarly.
Tender is what you want. the more woody or hard a stem is the longer it takes. Our clones are in 1 inch rockwool cubes in a smal plastic pan about 1 inch deep. Soaked and PH'ed the rockwool. Take cuttings maybe take the bottom leaf off use some root hormone and push all the way to the bottom of rockwool. Keep a 1/4 inch of water in the pan and set in warm place 78f is good. Less than a week later almost half have roots starting, all other will have roots by 2 weeks. We have tried many cloners and this is what works almost 100 percent. I had some extra ones that I just stuck down in the water next to the rockwool and they are the first to root and no hormones or are there ?
Some cut some of the leaf off and some like mostly stem. Some use hormone and some don't. The point of your rooting gel is just to like seal the cut and get a little hormone started up the stem. Yes it is gong to wash off quickly but then it is in your water so it does keep working.
Come on in the water is fine.

Heres a pic of a rooted clone showing about how much foliage and stem I leave, and how I trim the leaves smaller. I suppose a lot of these variables are personal preference but this has worked near 100% for me. Cloned in small 10 site cloner with humidity dome and small net pots. I know you have seen tons of pics, but I don't know what else to share to show you how it looks.
I use gel rooting hormone and Olivia's Cloning Solution in the water. Any other specs just ask.

Cool pic. I like the clones with no rockwool. I will do that shortly just haven't run out of rockwool yet.
It can't get no easier than a pic. That says it all.
