When taking a clone you want to make sure that you leave at least an internode left on the branch after cutting or nothing else will grow most of the time.
Get some Super Thrive or a good foliar spray and hit your plants with it. Sometimes plants problems can be remedied threw the foliage better and quicker than the roots, especially since they arn't drinking much then it is harder to get them any stress relievers threw the roots.
