idk if you can overwater ur clone at first....cuz i just leave the end of my clone dipped a little in water (for about a week) and wait for the roots to come out, then i put them in soil. and put a dome over them(like a 2 liter coke bottle to make a dome) to keep them moist, then after about 4-5 days in the domes the root system is pretty much good to go and grow. Im certainly no pro but i just got 5 successful clones growing doing it this way. This is probably the best way to do it if your on a tight budget. hope this helps!
