For cloning, I use a 7" propagation dome with vents over the 50 plug rapid rooter system. I use clonex cloning gel and a seedling heating pad under the tray. On top I have 2 36 watt CFL's. All this is fairly cheap under 80$ and I get over 90% rooting success. Huge roots too, check gallery.

this may sound silly and I'm a newbie so I hope I don't regret this. I think you need to not be so uptight with your clones. Don't baby them so much. I just started and I've had 95% success rate with the powder they sell at Home Depot for root hormone. I didn't even dome one at all and it was a super silver haze sativa. I do have an ideal environment so that helps but mostly I have time to look and them and listen to them.

A plant with less stress has less chance to turn hermaphrodite, so the better you care for them, the less chance of a hermaphrodite or any other problems. I have never used olivias, but here they are comprable.
