simple question trying my hands at cloneing first time I did it didn't work out ... I phed the plugs to 6.5 cut from top of plant have stem about length of plug then what you see above which is about 2 or so inches cut all leaves in half drizzled some water on the lid put in my grow tent under mother plant are these fine

Not sure what the last bit of this post is actually meaning, but those cuttings look rather big. I find the smaller the amount of foliage to keep alive, the easier it goes for me.

so I cut little more leaf off about 1 node each 1 of clones was little big probably wasn't brightest idea but pulled it out of plug gave stem quick snip and immediately put it in clonex then back in plug hopefully thy root

I cannot really understand your Thai prostitute level of broken English
but, from the picture you provided, I agree that you've left too much foliage.

Leave the very top leaves
cut off the rest
They should resemble mini palm trees.

Only feed the ROOTING SPONGE/ROCKWOOL CUBE
Mist the propagation dome (roof/lid) with PURE WATER.
You need to keep humidity high
but make the roots go look for nutrients.

By creating humidity with water that contains nutrients
you feed the cuttings through their leaves (foliar feeding)
and the roots have no need to go seek food (grow).

Use EC0.5/pH neutral nutrient solution DIRECTLY onto the sponge/cube
Spray the prop dome with PURE WATER (as close to EC0.0 as possible).

And NO
It wasn't a 'bright idea' to pull out the clones to check for roots....
but we've all done it.
I have 23 just started on the VEG phase
there would've been 24
but I got bored of waiting for one of them to show roots
so I gently ripped apart the bottom of the sponge to try and see.
GOOD NEWS! - It HAD roots!
BAD NEWS! - I'd yanked them out of the stem when I ripped open the sponge.

There's a lesson in there, somewhere....
