So anyone ever try. it I’m interested to see if it actually works well on cannabis these look like an affordable enough option I figure if I were to put some rooting hormone down near the base of branch and wait a couple of weeks the branch should root then just cut it off and plant it

They are pretty big, even the small ones are a 2" cube, which might be hard to get around a branch close to the stem, if your internodal spacing is tight.
Most of the clones I take were snipped to free up space inside the plant and to help shape it. Personally I wouldn’t want 2" clumps for a couple of weeks when I really want to open things up. Easier to take the cuts and soak them in a jar of water for a few weeks and let the plants recover.

I’ve never done it but I’ve seen it done alot with trees and shrubs with just plastic bottles and plastic wrap taped up.
Anything to hold some growing media and keep it wet should work nicely, scrap the branch a little bit, add some kinda rooting hormone, wrap it up with a wade of coco-coir or something to hold water and keep it damp.
I’m with @Spudgunner on them being big and to heavy for thin “fresh” shoots for cloning.
However this could be a good way to clone bigger branches that normally wouldn’t be considered.
As the thicker branches are still atached to the plant, it would easily stay alive while rooting in the ball.
That might be kinda neat to be able to make 3 foot clones that’s ready to flower soon as they establish roots

Just set a solo cut ontop of the mama pot. Bent a branch down, set a rock on it, score it at the rock, leave it for 10 days.
I have done it both ways. This is easier than the black balls. I got that exact set and don’t use it. For cannabis or fruit trees.
