I'll play bro...
EZ Cloners/aeroponic rooters are great....but I dunno of I'd start there with my cloning experience. Some may disagree...but it's an expense that you don't need to see roots, IMO.
I'd go with the "Dip n stick" method. This method is the same as folks do with rockwool... but I personally like to use Root Riot or Rapidrooter plugs. (I like the Riots myself)
this vid shows how to clone tomatoes.....but the procedure/everything is the same for ganja. There are other cloning vids with weed but you have to sign in and let YouTube tag you to watch them.
I would keep moms in soil if you are going that route.
Another route is to just take cuts from every cycle... I do it that way.....and technically it's the same thing, IMO....I just don't use any space I could be BUDDING in to grow momma stem/leaf...especially theses days when I am no longer doing any sort of volume/large grows/etc. and only need to keep things going for myself....not set up for huge clone runs.
Timing can get a bit tough at times going this way...gotta admit...but it keeps me from wasting space on moms. What I do is wait til about 2 weeks before I want to put plants into flower....and take cuts. I then hang out till I see roots. Once I see roots on the clones...and ONLY when I see roots on the clones...I then put the "moms' in flower. I then grow the clones up....and do the same thing aqll over again on the next cycle. Been doing it this way for 10 yeasrs or so now. At one point i did keep moms tho...and I may do so again if I find multiple keepers in house... so it's certainly nothing more than personal preference/need as to which way ya wanna go.
It might be the camera/my screen...but the tops of yer plants look lighter/like they need more light. If you have a fan...... set it to the side of the plants.... and blow it in between the plant tops and the light. Set the fan up so you JUST see the tops of the plants wavin at ya in the breeze...... then DROP that 600 down tocloser to the plant tops.... the fan will jettison cool air across and it will allow you to get closer to the lamp and foster some nice growth. Don't get it tooo close too fast.... but don't be afraid to pummel them with light if you can KEEP THE HEAT DOWN. You should be able to get 18-24"......maybe closer....with the fan blowing as outlined above.
with unknown genetics/etc. i personally would be readying for cloning...and would be taking cuts and trying to go into flower ASAP. OR.....of you have duplicates of the genetics/duplicate plants... set one of each aside...and flower the others. Then you can start fookin with clonin...and put those in flower later.
hope that helps to move ya forward....

here's a couple pics of my bubble cloner DIY and a link to
the thread detailing how i built it, and all for about $25.00.
cheap and easy DIY cloner and what to do with the results
frankly though, i only used it for about a year, with great
success, then i found the ice-tube-tray cloner thread at
ICMag and it was so cheap and easy lookin', i had to try
it and i'm glad i did.
i still get between 80 - 95% success with the ice-tubes,
and just as fast, usually within 10 days, the differences
are it's ease of use, it's cheapness and it's small footprint,
i can now fit 54 cuts in the same space as my 18 station
bubbler.
anyway, here's a couple pics and a link to the ice-tube-tray
thread for anyone daring enough to spend $10.00 and give it a try.
World class cloner new at walmart
btw, this isn't my idea, it was posted originally on the OG
site back in the day, then on ICMag after OG went down.
note also how extensive the root system is with the tube
clones.
It's natural for the larger leaves to take a hit/drop...at least from my experience. If you could see the stem inside the RW cube, I'm guessing they are bumpin' out and roots are forming/about to pop.
a few more daze and you should be there....
your light sourse might be to bright for the fresh cuttings. using floros i noticed really long rooting times. when i switched to a small t5 my life got a lil easier.
