    No nodes on branches?

    I once got a tray of clones from a guy I'd never dealt with before, and they weren't rooted/were suspiciously cheap. I was pissed to discover that about half had been cut mid-stem, but I let them go, and was really surprised when they all rooted, I didn't even think that was possible.

    I used to have a 6 foot tall san pedro in a 3 gallon pot, it was in there for probably 5 years, and grew each year. not sure what ever happened to that plant...

    cloning in water

    just change the water daily, keep them in a windowsill, tap water has worked fine for me, nothing added. It's convenient for a few but not really practical for a full blown sheet of cuts...

    Sterilizing grow medium?

    I've always boiled them. it stinks like shit but leaches excess nutrients and sterilizes at the same time. a turkey fryer outside works well.
