How things going?
Found this in another thread.
The below guide simplified.... Steps: 1. Soak pellet 2. clip and dip in water then into root power (the water keeps the clones from getting embolisms) 3. Put in pellet 4. put in dome 5. leave for week or two. 6. taper off of high humidity The Guide Taking clones is so easy a caveman could do...

Then I did a little digging[ not a lot].
Don't Use Sugar Water for Transplant Shock
What is said above about the detrimental effects of sugar water also applies to trying to revive plants going through transplant shock. When plants look sad and wilted after transplanting, it happens for two reasons. Either their
leaves have been burned from too much sun too quickly because they weren’t
hardened off properly, and as a result, they cannot perform photosynthesis. Or, the roots were damaged during transplanting and they cannot take up sufficient water and nutrients.
Sugar water does not do anything to help plants with transplant shock, and it can make it worse. Often, plants recover on their own. Just give them time, keep them well-watered, and protect them from too much sun to prevent more leaf scorch.
Only Use Sugar Water for Cut Flowers
The only exception where using sugar water makes sense is to add it to cut flowers to prevent them from wilting. That’s why florists often provide you with a small sachet of sugar-based plant food to add to the vase.
Unlike plant roots, the stems of cut flowers can absorb the sugar, which revives their carbohydrates. Sugar sends the flowers the false signal that the plant is alive and well and should continue blooming. This effect is merely temporary and
Seems cheap and easy and if nothing else is working I would try it.
