Figured out my problem. I ditched the aero cloned for some rapid rioters with a tray humidity dome an heat pad. Now I'm getting roughly 90_95% with my clones ..
I will post up my cloning method works for everything ... Doesn't matter if they are known hard cloners or super easy it works 99.9% of the time for anything. Getting 99.9% success rate for yrs. Now. I only say 99.9% because I had 3 die out of 100s but those 3 were taken from a very unhealthy mom that got sick. So as long as you mom is semi decent in health this method will work for you. I will post up pics when I take them tomorrow and go through the process from cut to rooting with y'all.
I had the GG#4 in my hands about a yr ago but she was far to damaged when I got her and she didn't survive ;(.
Oh and these are bare root clones so they can go into anything you want them to... Soil.. Coco.. Or DWC hydro is the reason I started using this method... it is by far one of the easiest ways to clone with such a high success rate.. Anyone can do this.

I like those. Ditch the heat pad though unless your room is cool. Litterally no need and encourages problems.
I soak plugs in the same solution i veg with. Works really well for no yellow clones, they take off much faster and stay totally green.
I prefer now to root in the medium i grow in. Generally though if you use plugs use natural plugs for natural medium and inert plugs for inert medium. I grow in i ert medium now, mixture of perlite and rockwool croutons,
I clone in it too its rad.
SGS has great luck with a cloning machine but ive always had better luck with plugs myself. Everyone seems to find success in different places
Best results I have had with Cloning GG4 is Make your cuts like you were going to place it into an aerocloner, plugs, etc. Scrape with a razor blade the last couple inches of the stem where you made the cut. Then place the fresh cuttings in a cup of fresh water that has some dissolved rooting hormone gel. Have had roots start to show as soon as next day. Also helps to take cuts soon after a feeding.
