Yes, you will just have to watch for the stem to rot. The larger the stem that you cut, the higher the chance rotting will occur .

Yes. It's preferred but diy sips are sort of new and work even better. . For fabric pots you want a minimum of 15 gal pots. If your space is limited. you could run 30 gallon pots or larger with 3 or 4 plants in each pot. or even build a soil bed. they make fabric cloth beds too.

Where you cut will begin to get "soggy" and soft. Will look wet and mushy.

stem rot usually only occurs beneath the soil of the cut gets too wet. From topping that never happens. if it does happen then there something wrong g with the environment

You want a light pale color to appear and for it to heal itself and become dry on top.

This happens in places like Washington in outdoor grows. It's good to know worst case scenarios.

besides cutting at an angle and over watering, is there anything else i can do to prevent this rot?

Don't be to concerned with rot, as if you are not in a very high humid area, your chances are slim. I was just informing you INCASE this happens. Just cut.

possibly. i use an areocloner myslf, and get real good results, some people use rockwool cubes, or a hydroponic "bubble" cloner. you can use a rooting product, some of them are all natural, and some have hormones in them that force rooting, i like clone-x myself, an old standard that works

I usually have to wait a week or so for my pots to dry after transplant and transplant up when it becomes 2 or 3 days between.
Final pot flowering I like to see 3 days to a dry pot. They really like their dry in between day the most it seems.
This is in ocean forest soil. Other mediums may work differently.
