cloning question

i am looking for detained info on the best way to clone. i seem to be able to do it but i am not happy with the success rate. it seems to take a long time to get them to root. sometimes a month or more.
i clone into rockwool under a humidity dome and i use a heat pad but the plants are having a hard time getting up to speed
is there a good detailed guide to help me gain beter success?
also a good topping tutorial would be killer

Cut 45 degree angle 2-3 nodes down from top of branch (lower branches are better),CUT PREFERABLY near a leaf,then before applying root hormone PEEL leaf near cut to expose whats under the "skin" then apply root hormone, you can also remove extra "skin" with a razor near the cut to expose more area for roots to grow, remove all big fan leafs place carefully in pre-soaked cube.Fill propagation tray with thin layer of perlite ,great for high humidity levels, add some water to tray(ph 5.5) sway tray back and forth so water spreads evenly, put heat pad 75-80 degrees,spray clones and dome with water and cover propagation tray, 18\6 light cycle.Spray clones 1-2x's daily with water.For the first 3-5 days keep dome on, high humidity is vital.Every 2-3 days add water ONLY to propagation tray.After the first 5 or so days start removing the dome more and more every day.I have 100% success rate so far this way.About 7-10 days roots start becoming visible.Some strains take longer.

Take your clone and cut at 45 degree under water this stop's any water getting trapped in the stem.Then make your hole in a pre soaked cube soak it at least a few hours b4.The hole also want's to be on a angle so it only has the least bit to grow through make your hole in the top and come trough the side instead of the bottom.Always keep the vents shut till you have at least a small root system showing,also don't give your clone's anything stronger than superthrive put one drop into a 1 litre bottle.Keep the lid of your propagator well missted but don't have them too wet the wetter the cubes are the less the roots will grow i'm not saying have them dry but you plant will have to start to search out water causing it to root quicker.Hope this helps good luck.I also like to put a few tiny slits in the other side to the 45 degree cut say 3/4 but don't go too deep.I have tried everything for clone's over the years and i would say gel is the best but stick to what you know.But if you are not useing gel give it ago.
