yes you can redo your clones as described, I never bother myself with the striping.
BTW Blueberry is a bitch to clone so don't be to hard on yourself if you fail.

I found the best way to clone BB is to make sure you have at least 1 node, 2 is better in the dirt, these will sprout roots way before the cut stem. I also cut the stem on an angle to give more surface area for contact. If you are using a jiffy 7 or dirt it is important to make sure you have contact between the medium and the stem.

What are you putting the cut clone in?

If you can find 16oz translucent beer cups they are great for starting clones. They can live in them for 4 weeks and you can see them growing and when they need water. Just poke a hole in the bottom for drainage.

I use MG seed starter soil in may cups, and I use it to start seeds also. Make sure it is the starter soil if you decide to use it, it has enough food for the 4 weeks so works out great.
