I haven't tried clonex before. I've been using dip n grow. I figured it has 2 hormones so it's better. I don't really know.
I want to try root in but with an airstone. I have read accounts of even cut roses being rooted like this without any hormone(they hardly ever root in water) I think the air is what makes it so successful. I saw this trick initially from cannabis cultivators ha ha
My plan is to get a small fish tank with two airstones running in the bottom then make a lid that can hold the cuttings upright in the water.
How thick branches do you think? I also want to try with pitangatuba as I only have one plant and that is scary.
I agree Mark , but my project for the last ...15 years ...was ( that's it ....no more...I am getting too old ) improving blacks and reds to end up with the best that come true from seed and zero astringency , I ended up with about 4 .
If you get impatient with seed germination be prepared for the same with rooted cuttings.
I rooted about a half dozen cuttings last year. They rooted easily... but took about 3 months.
Root-tone into Pro-mix than bagged and placed in the shady area of my greenhouse.

Grafted ones produce pretty quick. I've got them in one gallons with fruit.
Nice area, I always look at those houses along thet 52 and think how nice it looks up on that hill. Is your yard looking north or south?
I wasn't trying to tell you your zone was incorrect or anything, I just find it interesting how everyone has different weather that doesnt always go according to the zones. I think the zone systems are not that accurate in san diego because of all the hills and valleys. The zone map itself it pretty interesting to look at also.
