Rodelization or revegetation?

Hi everyone. I've got more questions.
I'm not sure if these can be answered but I'll ask anyway. Cos I'm still a noob technically.

I've got this nice bushy little lady that I'd like to preserve the genetics of. And I've heard a few methods of doing so. I'm interested in two.

Reveg to run a second or however many harvests you're up to plant. Or run the plant long enough to make it pollinate itself in a last ditch effort to continue its species.

The plant in question has rather compact nodal spacings. Produces decent sized, dense and lightly aromatic buds. Which smell of both zesty lemon and piney freshness. But takes around 2.5 months to finish flowering.

My questions are. What's better- Reveg. Or Rodelization? And does it matter the type of plant- i.e: Indica, Auto, Photo, Sativa?

I like growing seeds and seeing what they do. But, I can see the logic of going with a plant with structure already down.

Take cuttings?

keep her as a mother plant
or run her and clone from a clone from a clone
or spray a part of her, make pollen and self her for a seed experience.

Tried that already. 5 of 5 died. Don't know why.

I used clean containers. Scissors. Jiffy cubes. And water to do everything. I even used an unopened rooting agent. Kept them under 20w 5000k CFL. Then dead within a week. No roots. No new growth. Nothing.

Clones shouldn't be dying in under a week, they'd be getting roots therefore wouldn't be growing either. Humidity should be near 100%. Cloning is going to be the easiest way to keep the genetics

cloning really is the way for you. we can perfect it quickly if you like?
off the hip I believe you kept them too wet, too cold. mine get cut with dirty scissors sometimes, always put into used
scruffy shot cups, well water wet, quick scrape and cut.
I'm confident I could root a popsicle stick these days

They fell right over after three days. Didn't perk back up at all. And yellowed then browned by the seventh day.

Then what temp and or moisture level do they require?

prepare your rooting cube by wetting and gently squeezing normal water, nothing added
cut with sharp snips from donor plant, only healthy stems with much growth, snip at stalk.
on a clean cutting board slice the clone at a node, at desired height. 2-4 inches is easily managed.
slice at a 45 degree angle and gently scrape with a scalpel preferred, sharp knife works too, to expose the
stem cell containing cambium layer, visible as a whitish goo.
dip into clonex gel for 99% success. I draw it up into a syringe, drop some on the cutting board before I start, dip my
blade in it before cuts and roll my fresh scraped one, the cut end into the gel on the board.
I poke it gently , dont bend or stress, till its snug, if its not i use a piece of more in the hole to tighten it up.

mist it, dome it vent closed. leave it alone for a few days. dont put a fan on it. should be 70-80 f, with some light, cfl, flouro,
lightweight, no hid's unless far away.
couple days later check the cube with a gentle push on top, finger wet? then dome it and get out, if not drip some plain water into the cube and get out. repeat till you see a root. transplant into pro mix and water. let her veg, feed some fish powder when she gets a little growth, up pot and feed as necessary

Hmmm. My method was very close to that. In the fact that they were domed and had damp cubes. And I had been cut and dipped in the way you described.

But they may have gotten too cold.
