I’ve always rooted my clones in jiffy cubes. My clones root in 10-12 days.
I’ve heard of people getting clones to root faster (7 days) using aeroponic propagators.
Does the speed of a a clone’s roots appearing have any impact of eventual yield, assuming the roots are healthy & vigorous and appear in less than 14 days? I’ve always assumed it makes no difference.

Just to be super clear (I’m not great at explaining myself), all the resulting clones in my jiffy cubes are very vigorous with good roots. I take about double the amount I need and only select the best.
So I’m specifically talking about the difference between excellent, vigorously rooted clones that took 12 days in jiffy cubes vs excellent, vigorously rooted clones that took 7 days in an aeroponic propagator.

Ok. I have not seen a difference in the final plant die to rooting speed but if you are growing plants together it might benefit to keep the fast ones together. If you re clone for next time your results might be more even as far as growth.
Nice one - I always chuck all the slow rooters away & only use fast rooters for the crop. I’m thinking if you do that, there would probably be no difference between the two methods.
