S.O.S. 
I may or may not have added 50/50 miracle gro/water solution and killed the roots from some of my cuttings. The top of the cutting is still alive, but the leaves have died off. Not sure if the portion of the cutting inside the potting mix is dead, but I am assuming it's not doing well. Has anyone made the same mistake and had their cuttings rebound? If so, what did you do? Maybe rinse out the fertilizer as best as possible? Or maybe cut the cutting where the soil line is and start over with the top 1-2 nodes?
TIA for any advice!

I've done that. I've left them as is and about half grew out new roots eventually, but it took a couple of months. The other half I didn't have the patience to wait and luckily they were extras so I tossed them.
