I've built a bunch, all dark. All successful.

I've never seen a clear one.

I had a clear one made from a screw container. Worked fine, just had to break it down a scrub it once a month from algae. Foil taped the outside, been running for 5-6 months straight, no more algae.

5gal bucket with lid, small pump (don't even remember the size but small) some PVC to make a "T", a couple sprayers from hydro store (pennies) put those in your "T" 6 - 3" net pots with bottom 1/3 cut out, 6 - 3" net pot collars (neoprene discs). Sprayers spray your cuttings that hang through the collars. Simple.......but a tray with some root cubes (root riot, jiffy, rockwool, ect) sometimes a dome and a spray bottle work even better.......

Roots like dark.
As easy as an aquarium stone in a bowl and let the cuttings sit slightly submerged, or true aeroponic spray as described by others, and there’s nothing like it. A Meyer lemon cutting shows roots after 17 days in the spray

I’m thrilled with this one!

Cannabis is adaptable. You’ll do fine.

I must still be in the stone age because I just use a tray of rapid rooters and it's rare if one doesn't root.

How so? Do you find the rapid rooters slow growth at all? Do you plant them directly in soil? Use any hormone or rooting gel?

I just use a solo cup and HF, soak in water with a drop of aloe gel for a couple hours before planting. They root in about 5 to 10 days, and off to the races we go again.

Are they in "cells" (little pockets with slits at the bottom)? Or are they just upside down sitting on tray bottom (tray with those troughs/"valleys" at the bottom)?

rapid rooter trays, 1020 flat with the insert that hold the rapid rooters. i always keep about 3/16" of water in the tray bottom, dome, set on a heat mat and let em root. if they start to yellow before roots i can give them a foliar feed but that usually indicates the light is too intense.

How long does it take for cuttings to take root in an aero cloner?
I've been using straight tap water and net pots and start seeing roots at about 2 weeks.
