Thank you. That is also what I found and will do so in the future.
Goofing around with a clone

Its in a big jar with a little jar full of water so the humidity is probably pretty high. I dont think there is any way to really bring it down in there. But, its just an experiment to see if it will root for fun.

Welp, snapped a branch right off of my Volcano Girl plant tonight when I was looking her over, so I have another clone to mess around with. I just trimmed the two bottom fan leaves off and stuck her in a rapid rooter. I put it in half a solo cup and tossed it in the corner of the tent. Half ass covered it with the other piece of patch material I got with my tent to keep it from getting too much light.

Snapped another branch off of the Volcano Girl plant. Her branches/stems are brittle. Anywho, I took that one and tossed it outside in an unused raised bed just to see what happens. I dug a hole, grabbed some compost, mixed it up, stuck the plant in, and watered it in with some stagnant water that has been in an old planter for quite some time. I do not have high hopes for this one, but who knows what will happen? Its all for fun anyway.

Clone in a jar is still looking healthy and the same. No roots.
Volcano Girl clone in the rapid rooter plug is the same. Perked up, healthy, no roots.
Volcano Girl clone in the raised bed was really wilty and flaccid when I put her in the dirt last night. This morning, she was still laying down, but she had firmed back up and was looking like she was gonna at least stay alive for awhile. Fast forward to tonight when I got home and pulled in the driveway and see one of my roosters sitting in the raised bed. The same raised bed that none of the chickens have sat in all year. But of course, because I used it, he decided he needed to as well. Apparently, he decided to tap dance all over this poor fuckin clone and then sit on it for who knows how long. So, I chased him out and added some well water to see if it tries to revive itself overnight. Haha.

I am guessing to keep them from rotting from being in contact with the soil? I'll do that when I get home this evening. Thanks.

Pretty sure she was droopy due to my asshole rooster tap dancing all over her ass and sitting on her all day. I will not be babying this little lady. She is destined for death. There is no way it will grow out before the weather shuts it down. Just to go along with the thread title, I tossed it outside in a questionable position as a goof. We will see if she grows. If not, no loss. If so, we will see how well she does before fall gets here.

Day 16
Mason jar clone wasn't looking so hot this morning. I pulled it out to check on it. I trimmed the bottom 2 leaves off because they were yellowed and rough looking. I also went ahead and took it and the Volcano Girl clone out of the tent and placed them on a windowsill because I turned the timer on the lights down yesterday and I think the additional darkness may have had a small hand in the downturn. Another few days and I will probably throw in the towel on the Mason jar clone. If I do that, I'll toss it outside with the little clone that could.

Day 20
Mason Jar Clone
It was looking haggard. I pulled it to get ready to toss it. When I peeled it out of the .75-1" thick neoprene collar, it actually had a couple roots on the stem inside the collar!! I accidentally broke a couple of them off, but I got another collar ad trimmed it down to about .25" thick so the part of the stem that started roots could be in the water.
