I have just finished creating a bunch of clones, and I have pictorially documented it. I thought Id share that with everyone here.
So a few things first; I consider myself an intermediate grower at 3 years (roughly) of growing experience (at the time I write this).
I learned half of what I put forth here from trial and error (lots of error) and the other half would be from forums like this and the very few people I am able to discuss such matters with.
I am going to detail the steps I took to create 55 Bubba Kush clones.
I try to clip them on a 45Deg angle but if I dont first snip them off at a 45 ... I re snip them to be 45.
My clippings range in size, here are the largest and smallest I took. This CAN play a role in how fast the clone vegs's to a mature enough size to set flower. not always but it CAN play a role in my experience.

- I have 5 BK mothers which I take clones from.
- I have cleaned my Jiffy Tray and have filled it with the pucks, and then added about 2L of 6.0 pH nutrient solution. the solution I use is the DNF GRO at 1/3 strength. 30ml GRO per 20L Water. I have also added a piece of masking tape underneath so I can have a legend as to which clones are from which mother. I will be cloning My BK momma 3 and 5
- It is not so obvious here but I have packed (with my fingers) the little preformed hole that the pellets have, such that the hole is filed with the peat. it is now firm without a hole in the top of it. I have been told that the clones stems need to be in contact with the pellet medium so that the nutrients as well as the needed oxygen can transfer well. Its just habit now ... I don't want to tempt fate by not.
- Next I need to take my Clipings to Clone.

- I collect what I would like to clone in the clear dome of the jiffy tray. I spray them with the solution to keep them hydrated. I do this because I had read that some guys take clones and submerge them in water to prevent a air bubble from forming in the open stem which is said to prevent the rooting.
