It looks like it has been a while since anyone has posted anything about cloning. First I would like to say I have tried both the humidity dome AND without in a DIY aerocloner and have had success with the latter without all the fuss of a humidity dome.
Here is a picture of my DIY cloner.

The on off timer I found on Ebay

Take cuttings. (From lower branches of Mother plant) Important to keep stems in water until prepping them

I use Rapid Start in the cloner bucket and Clonex Gel ...White Shark on developed roots before transplanting in soil

Cut stem at a 30 degree at the bottom of stem removing all but the very upper leaf sets. I have found splitting the stem helps, sometimes not...I think temps play a factor...I have seen others just scrape the outer skin.

Trim leaves so clones send more energy to roots not the leaves. Dip stem in Clonex Gel(use seperate container otherwise you will contaminate it)

Here are clones in the bucket. I wait to turn on pump a few minutes after all clones are in their places. Too soon can wash the gel away.

And about a week later we have roots! I do mist the clones occasionally while in cloner. NO HUMIDITY DOME NEEDED!

I hope this post was helpful. BTW I have had success with clones from both flowering and vegging donors
