Are these old enough to make cuttings from these? Which branches do I cut? I have watched a few videos on how to make cuttings (45 degrees, dip in cloning gel etc.) but these questions are still unanswered. +Rep to all with detailed answers. Thanks!

Your plants are too young to get any clones from. Typically you would want to take a cutting that is at least 5 or so inches long to have a good chance of the clone surviving.

When you take a cutting make sure you have a branch that has a bud site at the tip. Don't try to clone the fan leaves.

When you are cutting your clones keep your scissors and gear clean. I use rubbing alcohol to help keep things sterile.

After you take your cuttings keep them WARM and keep them moist. They love the heat and humidity. Some people use a heat pad to help promote root growth.

Hope that helps :peace:

you could clone now if you wanted to...some of your lower branches are long enough. I usually have more success with about a 3 inch clone than I do a 6 inch although many prefer that(it's all up to you). I would recommend cutting at a straight angle from the plant(less damage to the plant) and cut at 45 degrees right before dipping in the cloning gel... I wouldn't recommend taking many cuttings from a plant that size though(too much stress could cause it to hermaphrodite)..

my current grow is in my signature...one from seed the larger of the two and the other a clone(2-3 inch cutting) which was about 4 inches when well rooted, transplanted and put straight to flower...
