a.yes you should put the hormone on it before putting it in the system. I think cloners you buy in the store use a rooting hormone in the aero cloner res solution thou...instead of putting it on the end of the clone.

b.it depends how long, but can be as soon as 5-6 days for noticeable rootage. A heatmat can help consistency in this department.

never used an areo cloner but clones can take up to 10 days usually to root. prob faster in one of those fancy aero cloners

I have found that I get best results using rooting gel and rooting solution. But use less then half the solution that it asks for. I keep it around 2-300ppm. I start getting roots in 5 days, and pretty good root mass in 10 days. Keep water around 70-75 is ideal.

I have tried aerocloners and got inconsistent results. I get much more reliable results from 40mm wrapped RW cubes on a heat mat, nearly 100% in 7 days, every time- and I get a lot of practise, doing 30 cuts every 14 days or so.

The trick with RW cubes is keeping them damp, never wet or saturated and keeping the clonebox air temp at about 28-30C. A heat mat is essential for quick, high average strike rates. See details here: https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/15030-batch-clones-rockwool.html

man, i noticed quite a few people here either need to stop smoking whilst they are posting on the forums, or at least take the time to USE A SPELLCHECK.

Really guys you make it sound harder then it is. Cut the clone at a 45 degree angle (everyone knows that). Then take it and put it in water (tap)........ Simple. They take about the same time to grow roots. Unless you get something off the clone gel then use it but water works perfect.

Oh I did cut a 2 liter bottle and use it as a dome.
