patience is key when cloning without a cloner. (expensive machines that take care off everything) Cloning will take about 2 weeks, however i do not give them any nutes until day 3-5. Always keep them under humidification technique until you slowly introduce air starting at day 10 until completely uncovered by day 14, and can be transplanted into prefered medium. I wouldn't lift the humidor more then once a day. Foliar is ok, but not very effective since the plants are sweating under the canopy holding the humidity and trying to produce roots, not grow. Once roots are formed foliar spray can be very effective in the growth process, especially veg stage. Keep the humidity high and check again in several days. Root development is mostly created in the 'night' cycle of the plant, so i would reccomend an 18 on 6 off cycle after the first three days of 24 light. You should be fine, and a success rate above 80% is good.

Ok root tone sucks,iv'e never had it work right use the gel.Then get 2 plastic cups disposables work fine, put your moist pellet with the gelled clone in one of the cups use the other cup as a top to your pellet cup and tape together.Put these cups in your windowsill and check your pellet every day or so to make sure it is still moist in a week you should have roots.The only other tip I can give is to lightly scar your cutting before you gel it "gently scrape the green part of the stem"then dip it in the gel and always make sure you take your clone with a 45 degree cut at the tip with very,very,sharp scissors or a razor you want to cut it not squish it off.:peace:
