Just started reading thru this thread, love it! I didn't even know I was doing it wrong haha. I'm used to taking the smallest cuts possible to prevent diseases spreading in the garden. So like when you take cuts from fruits bushes or flowering trees etc. I just take any of the tiny stuff that isn't getting light anyway. Seems like the more starved and low on the plant they are the faster they'll root up. Just snipped these and stuck em in coco last night. Guess they're pretty small ha

Also never bought into the "special needs" of clones. I like the idea of a myth-busted thread haha.
I know they go faster if you treat them to a humid dome and special showers of love. But I'm not growing for producing clones so I just throw 10-20 cuts into medium once in a while and get ~75% going. So here are some I did just like that 3 weeks ago, moved them into solos when roots go out the bottom of the rooting tray last weekend.

Thats in CO with 20-30% humidity and 59-65f, but with a heat mat for the root tray in the winter.
I'll be back and go for smaller next time!
Hey GG, thanks for joining in the thread ! Very cool perspective , its like there are all sorts of ideas and stories to go with them
I like your concept , its cool when you can be casual enough to jist toss some cuts and pull out what you need..
Me personally , i get too stressed , if i see a clone fail i start questioning everything , like its the end of the f@#king world , its really dumb....
And yea , your small clones are welcome and plenty small...
I think im gonna change the rules again , it dosent have to be the first bottom growth , just submit any old tiny cut you want....
I think i said first bottom cut so no one could cheat and take a more vibrant upper cut , and just cut it tiny , that would be cheating , and i wanted a fair baseline starting point
But at this point , i think anyone who wants to join in ...
Well just send a pic of your cut and your story...
If you really want to compete though , keep in mind the original rules...
