you need at least a single shoot axis meristem or it won't work. these sit at the nodes and also the tips of the new shoots.
Can you ‘re-root’ the main stem?

That's not the case look at the picture there's no node and that's not unusual I've got plenty pics around the forum with stem rooted.
@HydroKid239 have you ever had problems rooting clones without nodes on the stem?

it's not that simple.
the meristem will still generate that growth but it's not coming directly out of it that's true, but still all the precursor cells of which ultimately the whole plant gets generated from always stems from the meristems which contains undifferentiated stemcells.
just try it and root a blank internode that doesn't contain a meristem it will not work, it can't.
on the other hand TC can establish a full plant out of a meristem, this is the central place that still has all the genetic information available and where hormones either grow roots, shoots or flowers from it.

I haven’t. As long as the stalk was healthy.. I’ve had cuts so small & beat up, but they conquered my high doubts & pulled thru. Took forever tho.

Here's a pic about a week after it started showing new growth. Took a few weeks to get to this point.

I've not found that to be the case, take a clone preferably with a node but not essential it'll root.
Here's another example of roots without a node in sight.

I believe I've heard that cutting through the node at an angle, gives it more surface area for roots, but that's the only reason I've heard for leaving the node.

So she went all limp on Sunday but has bounced back today.
Also it’s interesting to note how she’s focusing on pulling phosphorus from the leaves to try and make new roots

Well 16 days have passed and no sign of roots. It’s alive and seems to be growing which is a positive I guess.
How long can it take to root?

Ah right Jesus, I was expecting 3 weeks tops.
It’s a Chinese tub with two bases with gaps at the edges lol. Sits around 80-90% and 25c constantly

It sounds right enough mate just a give them sprinkling of patience lol
Here's a example of the plants will to survive.
I cut tops from a plant 3 weeks into 12-12 i put them in a bin bag then 3 days later I retrieved them and put them in the fridge for 8 weeks then put them in my cloner and immediately bleach them tf with led
...
They still rooted, it's a very resilient plant.

No ways they are hardy eh lol Didn’t know you could refrigerate them!It sounds right enough mate just a give them sprinkling of patience lol

Hopefully not long before roots are visible with mine

that medium looks way too dry, in a good environment healthy clones root usually within 1-2 weeks.

Aye that was before it’s misting so dry patches occurred on top. Didn’t want to drown the thing. I’ll spray a bit more.
Well most clones aren’t taken down by garden shears

We’ll just check to moisten it and lo and behold she’s rooted!! Didn’t see that root this morning!
So now. Do I pot her up or let it root a little more?

Translated her as it seemed wrong to have the tap root showing in open air.
Will be using honey for often haha.
I read somewhere that in conjunction with cinnamon it works even better as honey is anti microbial/fungal and bacterial while as the cinnamon has rooting hormones present. Will try it next time

I'd forgotten about clones in my fridge until yesterday.
Diary and other stuff.
The kings juice is getting on a bit better now. 83 days since cloning it. I done a bit punning on the others. All of them are doing fine except the kings juice but it looks like it's going to be ok. Really nice work and always so clean.
