remember not to get an air bubble in the 45 degree cut of your clone, that is auto death. and keep n mind for the time they are trying to sprout roots, they have to absorb water through their leaves.
keep them under a light where the heat will evaporate the water soon enough not to make them rot, and spray them down a couple times a day.

I followed a guys advice that was exactly like yours once, and I killed two sets of clones in a row. DO NOT MIST THE PLANTS. If you do they have no need to grow roots. I have about 90% success this way. cut the clones at a 45 degree, and then clip off about 50% of all the leafs, cut the square off the ends, put rooting hormone on them if you wish. Then place them in Rapid Rooters, place these in a clone dome, sit this on a heating pad with a towel doubled up between them, make sure to feel the bottom of the tray ever so often for the first 6 hours to make sure it is not getting to hot. Moisten the rapid rooters no more then once a day unless you notice them turning a lighter color. Put a little water in the bottom of them clone dome also.
Last harvest I cut a branch off with a box knife, stuffed it into a rapid rooter with no cloneing gel or anything, put city tap water on it, and placed it under a glass, I only checked it once every three days. It rooted. Most people over water and over mist their clones big time.
