why not wait and get your clones when your plant gets a lil bigger, you can take clones right up till harvest.

its because i have no space , i must flower earlier whit smaller plants, but i need 10-15 clones till flowering for SOG mode , till my clones are grown ,mother plant will be bigger then it should be. That is why im aiming at early cloning...i still dont know is it a male-female ...god damn it maybe i should flower the first clone just to see is it a female

You really need to read a bit about it. There's plenty on this site.
Cloning is the one thing where everything needs to be 'right'.
Quick tips include....
Sterility is ket. Bleach and rinse all equipment prior to use.
Cut at 45 degrees below 4th node with sharp, sterile razor blade.
Get STRAIGHT into water to avoid an air-lock in the stem.
Remove bottom leaves and petioles, leaving only 1 or 2 top sets of leaves.
Use root-riot cubes or seedling and cutting compost.
Use a dome or propogator.
Use low light (1-1500 lumens/ ft) or a north facing windowsill.
Use plain, ph'd water for both watering and misting of the leaves twice daily.
Keep humidity at 95-100%.
When rooted, remove the cover for a short period of time daily, slowly increasing the time to acclimatise the rooted cutting.
Watch out for The base of the stem rotting. If it starts to, remove the dome.
Cloning takes practise but it's a skill well worth learning.
Good luck.

you need to watch some video's and google search info about cloning pot.. there is tons of good info on the net.. DO NOT CLONE THAT PLANT.. it is still a baby and needs much bigger, i clone right up to the point i flip plant to 12/12.

Chances of getting a plant from cloning a fan leaf are extremely poor. If it lives, you'll most likely just have a leaf.

thank u m8 for making it easy for me with this check list ,i already know all of it but quick check list is a must , i thank u for that....i have no PH checking equipment but can i use distilled battled water or rain water for misting? I think i can ,correct me if im wrong...and that 4th node that u are mentioning is a cut on the 4th node of the plant, taking the upper top for new clone? This first clone ill be using to see the sex of the plant taking it to the flowering as soon as it roots ,also i must tell u that i have no rooting gel ,but im hopping it wont be a problem...little more luck is as good as rooting gel :)

seams logical now , but i think that leaf would eventually become a branch if it stays on the plant ,or it wouldn't?

its a bit to early for cuttings, she's still a baby, best time to start cutting for clones is right before you switch to flowering. That's when you'll have the strongest cuttings for clones....

Simple answer...yes you can clone a leaf. Is it worth doing NO. Good learning experiment for fun.
Since there is no node there will be no new growth. Just a Leaf with a few roots.
Don't bother with it.

Ur plant is to small to clone do u even know the sex of it yet?u need to at least let it sex itself and get way bigger .........and that Ime guessing co2 contraption really isn't doing any good there is no way it can raise the ppm of that room to be effective just my 2 cents
