I clone in a homemade bubble cloner with 10 neoprene collars. I dip in rootech gel. I have a near 100% success rate, but I usually do not see root formation until day 9-11. I leave them in the collars for 21 total days, by then the 5 strongest come out and go into 3.5 inch netpots of hydroton in a 4 plant dwc 18 gallon veg tub, and then one 5 gallon bucket. (I do 4 querkle in scrog per bucket, and in the middle i have 1 c99xbb in a 5 gallon that goes in the middle of the 2 tubs in my 2x 400 watt hps flower room.) in 3.5 inch netpots of hydroton. I clone under floros either t8 fixtures or off to the side of a 110 watt 75 2 ft fixture i have over a veg tub. Decent ambient light is all they really need to root. I also keep the water temp in the res at 72ish with a small aquarium heater. When i first started cloning, all these cloning machine makers claimed "roots in 3 days!" I do not think that is for MJ, maybe some flower or veg? I usually see new vegetative growth start really kicking in by day 28 from cutting, which is when it gets full nutes. Usually when it has a couple nodes worth of solid new growth. After theat however long you veg is up to you!
