Radogast 2 - Return of the Clones

I've done many hundreds of clones and only lost a very few.... Forgive me if this is too basic:

Lower branch clones have more growth hormone (bigger, faster, fatter).
Cut aft 4 nodes w/clean razor, strip 4th and shave outer stalk slightly. Never touch stalk with your hand....sure death!
Split stalk in two an inch, again with clean razor, dip a few seconds in Clonex.
Put immediately in dirt hole or whatever you are using. EASY, don't force. Light is an enemy at this point, so don't dilly-dally around.
Soak in room temp, PH 6.0-6.5, clean filtered water. Mineral not RO. Enough in tray to keep wet 3 days. No nutes.
Cut all remaining leaves by 1/3.
Cover and keep warm abt 75-80 deg with slight opening in hood. No fans.
Don't open for at least 3 days.
Bright, close fluorescent light 24 hours to penetrate cover w/heavy condensation on inside. Watch temp.
If you use a heating matt under the tray, LOOK OUT, DON'T COOK THOSE BABIES! Biggest rookie mistake. Never over 80 deg.
Start slowly opening vent holes in hood after a week. Keep everything moist at all times. DON'T let them dry or they'll die.
After vent holes are wide open a couple of days and rapid growth, take hood off an hour and back on. Then longer until all off in a couple more days. Keep room above 60% humid.
They're off to the races! Give them a new bigger pot and there you go. Easy-peasy!

I'm sure I left something out so feel free to proof read and critique.

There are hundreds of ways to grow our fav babies with success. I'm sure others have taken this simple method to the Nth degree.

But if you do this, I bet you'll grow out 99 out of 100. I've thrown out hundreds of clones (murderer!) because this method is so prolific.

You did this and it didn't work?......take up sewing, you have a black thumb.
