My clone growing exp has been horrible. I'll probably just grow from seed from now on I sunscorched and overwatered yet it still lives. Lol hopefully others have better experience than me.

• choosing a mother plant that is at least 6 weeks old, normally I choose my clones about a week before I plan to change Mothers into Flower
• cut stem at an angle, lightly scrap the skin from the stem to provide more surface area below the outer skin, dip in liquid root compound or unprocessed honey
• clip off all leaves except 1 set, clip the tips off the set you keep. (this will tell the plant to start making roots instead of supplying energy to the leaves.)
• Make sure the soil is damp, insert clone into soil between 2" - 4" (depending how large your clone is), I generally try to cut my clones at a length of 5" - 8".
• Lightly pack dirt around the stem to provide some security
• Lightly water the first day, place a dome over the plant for the first 5 days to give the roots time to start growing (without a dome to generate humidity, they will go limp and shrivel up within 24 hrs.)
• each day pull the dome off for about 10 minutes , spray some water in the dome and place back on the plant
  • I use t5 fluorescent for my seedlings and clones, 10" away
  • I do not spray my clones, this will slow their root growing
  • for the first week I feed at half strength of what the Mothers are getting and then bump it up to full strength
  • I always use a coco/perlite soiless mix

I use an aerocloner. It's not the only way, but its a good way. My success rate has been 100% in getting roots although sometimes I decide to pitch a clone for one reason or another. Here's a picture of a clone just out of the cloner ...

I always get a 100% from my ez cloner. Sometimes takes two weeks, but with patience and maintaining ph and reservoir temp they eventually will all root.

What temperature and what PH you keep yours at ?
I see most people are not filling in the details that actúa matter
Everyone needs to imagine they are explaining this to a novice and include the details of their procedure.
Thanks so much to everyone for sharing their experiences please keep doing so
Peace

@BigBlonde if you're serious about cloning, a 16 site aero-cloner can be found for around $100 last I checked.

Thanks. I just looked on Amazon and didn't see cloners for $100.

Cloning is not high on my agenda. I still have much to learn about growing from seed. That's my focus now. I certainly can give cloning some thought, though. Every time I trim branches, I think it would be nice to make a few clones. So far, I've tried and failed about half a dozen times. I've wondered if I might be using the wrong type of rooting hormone for cannabis. Of course, I'm probably doing it wrong, as well.
