Feel free to haze, I’ve nothing to lose with this experiment, haha.
Semi-noob, but I do my research. I think the desired outcome may be impossible but would like to hear any evidence, bro-science bs, or anecdotes you know of pertaining cloning and the feasibility of. All comments welcome, though.
Re-posting this from my grow-journal to try and get some feedback- skip the details for the pictures if you’re bored.

previously I topped 3 of 5 of the DP{Durban Poison} (and fimmed one, and left one alone).
Cut clean at base of 5th node w/6th starting, careful to leave node-leaves. On one, I first cut off the 6th-start, before the 5th...
Just for a fun experiment I had prepped some warm water (well-sourced then filtered through Brita, then boiled; pH ~5.5 - 6), and some sanitized items for cloning...
Here you’ll see I quickly dropped my cut tops into the warm water and let them sit for about 10 minutes before transferring to rapid rooter pellets I had lightly boiled and cooled. I had tore about half an inch off the top of each rooter to decrease the depth of center hole, and placed those pieces on the bottom of a shallow wide mouth jar, and the adjusted pieces on top. Then I poured warm water in up to the top of the bottom sponges, let it absorb up some, then filled up to that level again.
The cuttings went in after, then I remembered to put a (alcohol sanitized) coozy around the jar to insulate and keep hopeful-root-area darkened.
Then put into sanitized (washed, alcohol, then distilled vinegar) wide-mouth plastic jar lid and screwed the sanitized jar on upside-down over the top. Placed this snug in with the vegging starts near heat rod, and about 10 inches, from leaf-to-light, under 2 “Sun Blaze” 54watt T5 lamps strung together.
Decided to put a folded paper towel I had handy (used for alcohol sani; evaporated) over the jar so as not to stress the “plants” inside with too much light.
The rest of the crew gets to enjoy a 42-hour (edit light period with the cuttings now, unless I read it is severely detrimental and/or utterly pointless (I have until midnight to research).”
