In my tutorial I lay out the technique I use that gives me 100% success rate.

Whatever you do I advice that you start giving your mom a low dose of silicon in her feed. It helps prevent wilting of the cutting. Also do not trim those leaves because the cutting needs the energy in them.

I use a DIY aero cloner using tap water at about 300ppm (0.6 EC) and add calcium hypochlorite (pool shock) at 0.01g/gal 2x/week. Change out water every other week. No pH adjustment. No temperature management. Mists for 15 minutes every 2 hours. 23w 5000K CFL @ 18/6. Close to 100% success so far.

I think my clone are taking awhile to root cause of the the rockwool is alittle dry. Day 11 an no roots yet so I pour some water over the rock wool. It's under T5 light humidity 50-70% temp 70-90%. Solution I use is clone ex gel

I just put them in 100% coco after dipping in a cloning product. That Shultz powder you can get at the big box stores works just fine. Keep them in low light for awhile and get roots in 7 - 10 days. Been doing it that way for years. It's simple but it works. I clone other plants the same way with great success. Once I started treating cannabis like a plant and not some special entity that needed a bunch of attention it's been smooth sailing except for the rare setback here and there.

No need to worry about pH until you have roots.
I have used tap water and RO water, both worked fine. I like to use rapid rooters with a dome and some cloning gel. Vitagrow antiwilt isnt required but it's nice when you have low humidity. A seedling heat mat will speed up rooting.
No nutes until you have roots, you want to encourage the plant to make roots so just plain water.

What about the fan leaf do I just leave them alone or cut half on each fan leaf. I just idk what I'm doing wrong I feel like I just everything right. Damp rockwool, cut an dip in clonex gel into rockwool then in humidity dome under 5in t5 light. Should I scrape the side's an then dip it ?

Cutting the fans is fine.
I kill everything in rockwool.
What xt and ren said.
If you have a hot humid environment you can ditch the dome.
Mutha & childs in coco.

It's currently half open vent. I wonder if cutting it at a 45 degree angle will solve it I just did a straight cut

I get it wet then squeeze out the excess water. You want it wet but not soaking wet.

You never want to redo a clone , it just delays the rooting all over again

Take a cutting and stick it in a beer cup of soil, place in shady area two weeks and you can worry about pest once it roots
Clones can be cleaned , whole plants not so much

What % of IBA is everyone using?
I was using 0.1 and was getting 25% rooting. So i switched to 0.4. So far im seeing much less wilt.

Diy areocloner for the win.You can clone in a cup of water.Takes a while but it works.
The "best"method is the one where you have at least an 80% strike rate...FOR YOU and your needs.
Im my diy aerocloner,pretty much everything I put in it roots. It has even brought back wilted rockwool unrooted cuts to full on rooting.
