I've had the worst time learning to clone and I just recently had my first successful attempt with 100% rooting 12/12 total.
when I took my cuts I first let them soak in coconut water, maxicrop, fulvic and aloe for 30 mins before doing the 45 degree cut. then I dipped in gel and then put into plugs that were in a large celled tray with a 1/2 inch of perlite on the bottom. I put perlite in any spaces around the plug so the water would wick up to the plug and also had a top layer of perlite as well. used some dutchmasters zone in the water instead of chlorine which would also work. and then domed it up. this time though I put in a hygrometer and I was super surprised at how high the humidity stayed in there because the dome look dry with no condensate. using the tips above with the dome should really help along with the lower wattage bulb. that was my other problem I had. I have them in my grow room after they rooted and were transplanted in the shade of the dehuey so they can be warmer but not get direct light and that has worked just okay. next time less light. you could try smaller curly cfls in low watts but lots of them which would be less heat than the 200w or even the 50w. I used two 12 watt daylight cfls.. one week later I had inch long roots coming out of the plugs. cloning is such a bitch.
