I took two clones from each plant. I’m seriously considering taking one of each, dipping it in this shit and stick it in some coco. I figure it can’t get any worse than it already is.

That should work too. Or a rapid rooter or anything similar really. Once you figure out what works easier for you you'll be able to root anything in all the different ways.

That's probably not a bad idea.

Mine rooted slower than normal this time, but I started out with well water and then swapped it to RO when things weren't happening....which I remember is what @Aeroknow recommended. I am going do do an experimental run next with my well water and see if they will root, for future reference.

Are you keeping up with the pool shock every 3 days?

@doublejj what kind of water do you use in your cloners?

I have one of those kicking around I can try. I think these are three weeks old now.

I would start out keeping it as simple as possible.

Just plain non PH'd tap water, no hormones, or pool shock.
Don't change the water. 14 days
Pump 24/7
T5's at about 16" above, 18/6
Don't mess with at all, only top off rez if needed

If that doesn't work
For me, I find KLN superior to Clonex

This has always worked for me

every step that I’ve taken to simplify my grow has been a net gain. The cloner is still a mystery with everyone doing it differently.

It is funny how so many different growers do it differently, and so many struggled with. I know I did. Plus there are definitely other differences, like temps, humidity and water depending on location.

The directions that came with my aero cloner could have been written by BobBitchen, but for me, they turn to mush every time. I have well water with about 100 ppms, but it just doesn't grow anything great it seems. I should try it with just RO water.

I've used @Aeroknow 's method for over a year now...and I have roots every time in a week now, and usually 100%. I picked up not trimming the fan leaves from @doublejj and that saves time.

But yeah, you just have to keep experimenting and find what works for you, and then stick with it. The guy who originally taught me...a proclaimed "expert", had me buying all kinds of expensive crap....real expensive crap. Sometimes it would work, but not constantly. A year later, I just finished my first gallon of pool shock mix, and I still have DipNGrow left.

Man, I am so baked...Just tried out my new bubbler and it is da bomb! It has a thick titanium tip...so thick it stayed hot for 4 dabs in a row of fresh GMO....yum! The glass is not so thick though, but for $25 it's a steal...and they'll be gone soon!!
