What is the “promix” what does it have in it organic or not … if not what chems does it have
It’s very easy. Lots of different techniques work nearly 100% of the time. I use Root Riot cubes that come in a kit with a tray. a dome, and some Clonex gel. I cut the plant about three inches down from a growing tip with a razor blade at a 45 degree angle. Then I use the blade to scrap gently for 1/2" along the bottom of the stem, to get just the outer layer off. Then I dip the cut end in Clonex and stick it in a damp Root Riot cube that I put in the tray. Then I do the next one. This should all take less than a minute each.
I put some pH 5.8 1/2 strength grow nute solution in the bottom of the tray to keep the cubes wet. Then I put the dome on and put it under about 10000 lux light. I have 5000 K COBs but any light source will work. Like one CFL bulb. I mist the leaves and dome every 6 hours with the 1/2 strength grow nutes. Add more 1/2 strength nutes to keep some in the tray as needed. 15 days later you should be able to pop the cubes out and see lots of roots on the outer edges of each cube. Plant in a beer cup with coco or soil without time release nutes, so you can keep the nitrogen level low at first.
I use a transparent cup with holes in the bottom of the sides. This lets you check on root development. But roots don’t like light, so I put those transparent cups inside red cups with matching holes. Once you get lots of roots, transplant into big cloth pots and go full blast on nutes and light.

What is up with the bubblers. What does it help with?
I use a 3 gallon bucket of water with bubbler like what you find in fish tank put a milk carton over it to hold cutlings and let your stems get in water and the water will alow them to root with nothing but water and bubbles @Texan_flowers

The plastic thing with holes? Right?
How does that work, and not just scuffing the bottom of cuttling and putting right in water ?
Yeah at the bubbles from the water will allow it to develop a root I just use the milk carton to set over the top of the 3 gallon bucket upside down so they are submerged in water usually takes about two weeks before they start to root

Is it the motion of said bubbles what starts the growth

Hey. I know this is an old thread, but I have a question. I’m using ProMix hp. I have some clones in cups right now. The 3 older ones have roots, and I’m getting ready to transplant into larger containers with ProMix. I’m using fox farm trio. Do u feed right at transplant, or wait a bit for plants to adjust to the new setting? Also my other 3 were cut 3 days ago, into rapid rooters, in a solo cup with ProMix. Should I feed these lightly, or wait till I see roots? Anxiously awaiting your wisdom! Thanks.
