Remembered this thing I came up with some time ago. Here is a copy of the post I did on it a few years ago.
Wanna take cuttings? Make a mushroom chamber the marthas type that ue a cool mist and a ultrasonic. Take the cuttings put them in the chamber and be sure the cool mist runs 24/7. the ultrsonic comes on every 8 hrs for 1.5 hrs. The job of the ultrasonic is to cover the cuttings with a layer of moisture. the ultrasonic uses a fog to cover the cuttings which is better then a mister cause it doesn't form big droplets on the leaves plus with the constant air flow you get way less fungus, molds and rotting that can take place on leaves when rotting cuttings.
With this method you can also take them any size you want. here are some samples.  
Like I said you can take them any size you want 
The humidifiers that keep things alive

Did you cut off some of the leaf tips? What's up with that?

Promote root growth on the clones.

Since they don't need the leaves for a little bit it creates less of a need to take in water. In other words less leaf less need for moisture. Also in a high humidity situation rot can start in spots where the leaves overlap.

Hey Magash what about lighting? I read clones dont need light at all you could even keep it dark when theyre rooting in an aerocloner. I feel like thats not possible.
Could you do the same with this setup if possible at all?

No matter how they are being rooted they don't need bright light but they do need light. Keep em in total darkness and you just get dead branch tips. 
So when you said this

you were right

Not when your doing 400 clones at a time which is what I was doing at that time.

I'm gonna bump this so some who haven't seen a cube cutting machine can see it.

If you only have the need for a few at a time, would an SGFC work?

Anything that can keep the humidity up and keep airflow threw the chamber can work.
Maybe I've smoked to much OG shatter but I'm drawing a blank on what "SGFC" is?

shotgun fruiting chamber, perlite bottom with many many holes.
That would fit the bill and would be a step up from the standard humidity domes many people use (myself included)

Ahhhhh...got ya. Yeah one of those would be fine. My thing was to have constant air flow cause domes were driving me nuts. Then I got sick of using cubes and went to rooting with water. My fucking luck I changed to water after buying 2000 root cubes and only using a few hundred of them.

I love my DIY aerocloner, I use peat pellets, plug trays of coco, rapid rooters, rockwool, whatever.
Do you use hormones on the cuts or water or just straight up water?

Yeah it's the perlite on the bottom of a clear tote setup. How am I going to stop the roots growing through the cubes and down into the perlite?

What are you transplanting into?
You could build a shelf to elevate them so they're not ONTOP of the perlite.

Lava rock. I like the shelf idea. Could I buy one of those milk crates and just it down to be short enough?

You can go to a hardware store and buy egg crate light diffusion material. Build your shotgun fruiting chamber in a tote that tapers down or becomes more narrow towards the bottom, cut it so it drops in but doesn't reach the bed of perlite.
Done.
