Cheesypeace, NOW you can hate me.

My guesses are that it will take an eternity for you to be a successful grower.

Why?

Because you don't like to search for your own answers and read. Before I started even growing I probably invested a couple hundred hours of just reading and researching, learning all the answers to the questions you are asking.

Who takes FIFTY clones with no prior experience?

Its really not that hard. Cut a branch. then cut it again under water, at a 45 degree angle. then dip in rooting gel/powder (optional!) and stick it in your medium (like a rapid rooter, or rockwool). Make sure that cutting is in 95-100 humidity for the first few days. (if you dont have a humidity dome, three chopsticks and ceran wrap works!) Then gradually ween down to about 85% humidity. If you clones seem to wilt quickly, you can cut the tips of the fingers on the bottom leaves to stop water loss (if it was a hand, cut inbetween the 2nd and 3rd knuckles) The bottom branches will have more rooting auxins in them. top ones have less. GO FIGURE

or.. BETTER YET!
Look up air layering.
That seems like a method that would be better suited for your breed of human being.

So hate me if you want. ("DDDDDDUUUUUUDEEEE why dont u do some searches")
