This method can be used on anything from cannabis, to tomatoes; and everything in between.
1) Keep a small 4" pot with soil for each cutting within reach
2) small dish with rooting "powder, gel, water" on hand within reach
3) Small bowl with water "suitable enough to water plants with" within reach, and deep enough plants wont touch bottom if dipped.
Dont worry about air bubbles if cut properly, Ive NEVER had this issue so long as its treated and planted within about 30 seconds to 45 seconds.
Cut your cutting on a 30 - 45 degree angle off its host mother "or father if your in to that sort of thing lol"
make sure your cutting has at least 2 leaves "1 set" and a stem at least 1.5" long for best results, however technically 1 leaf and .25" stem is enough, its not recommended.
take the cutting and put it into the plain water, count to 5, place directly from water to rooting material.
Now plant into soil
To prevent soil from drying out the pots can be placed into bowls of water that have the water come 1/4 of the way.
the pots will continually wick the water and stay wet
- method 2 -
Place a pop bottle bottom "cut off the top" over the entire plant pot so the bottle comes over the table. another good reason to keep the planters small 4" types or Styrofoam cups etc.
Ive done both methods to keep dirt wet, both work.
Keep very light air flow to prevent mold.
What to expect:
Wilting, bad wilting. will start anywhere from 5 to 60 mins after the cut occurred.
then if your cutting took, and it should have. within 3 to 24 hours under light it will look healthy again.

It should be mentioned that going from cloing hormone
to peat pellets is a good alternative for some plants.
