after being on here for a few years, youd be amazed how man people prefer to make like 3 accounts, dont take it personally. im 99% sure the one with more leaves(basically energy sources) will root faster and have a higher chance of survival. and your right on that different methods thing but there are a good set of truths to growing, im not gonna claim my method is "the best", but ive been cloning for a while and the branches with less leaves are the ones that usually take 2-3 more days to root, or some will even die if they dont have enough leaves, but clones will die here and there, even the best growers will tell you that.
