It matters most when you take cuttings off a transitioning/flowering plant. They would need more P in their diet due to age carried over.
At what age do you start cutting clones from the mother
I take them whenever. No set time on clones. For my mother plants space, those are taken from perpetual veg mothers, as needed, for a cycled run.
Got ya yea all 3 mothers are in veg have to trim some tonight there getting super bushy agsin still no upward growth just outwards

Not sure what you mean exactly. Some are rooted and some - died, wilted, or haven’t yet? Could be issues with mist coverage in some spots. Need a better idea of the issue.
Low light, high humidity environment and time.
Some are drfinately growing some whitw roots out the bottom and look good them some arent and are just kinda laid over not doing much almost seems like the ones that i left to much leaf on maybe when i snipped them tomorrow i am going to take a bunch of pictures and kinda make it make sense the best i can through images of what i mean.
Snip off the leaf tips. It lessens weight and the leaf evaporation. It also encourages rooting.

Okay i was wondering whats the like best amount of leafage to leave on the clones ya know so ill show ya what some of the bottoms look like. However i think i may have had a little to much light on them no cline domes so the humidity may have not been perfect but 1st attempt wasnt absolute garbage so im stoked for it.
So those 2 small bushy photos are the mothers just fyi.

Seems that one side length isn’t rooting. May need to readjust flow on that side. I’m taking clones today.

Okay i didnt do any trimming of leafs like that but ill give it a shot looks pretty simple. I have some ready to transplant but im gonna leave em go amd see how they will grow in the tank.

To do that you would have to feed them by adding nutes to cloner. Thats not helpful for rooting, so keep it low numbers or it’ll burn unrooted clones.
So the first time i clipped them and sat them in there it was 8 gallons of water and 20mls grow micro and bloom. Nothing else
