its easy man. They say if you take cuttings from a plant your suposed to wait about 2 weeks b4 you put into flowering phase to avoid stressing the plant and having it hermi on you. I have takin a few cutting off a few plants in 12/12 b4, about 1 week into it. It worked fine but is not recomended. The easiest way to clone is to get yourself a dark colored glass fill it up with distilled water or water you have let sit for a 24 hour period. Take your cutting and make your 45 degree cut across the stem under water to avoid air pockets in the stem. Place the cuttings in your cup, change the water every 2-3 days and 2 weeks later you should have some cuttings with the beginning of a root system. You can also clone right into soil. I use the biodegradable seedling cups. I fill them with dirt. Cut my cuttings under water , dip in hormone and place it about 1-1/2 2inches into the soil.(make hole with pencil so you dont scrape off hormone) soak the cup and soil and place in a terrarium of some sort to preserve humidity. spray every so often to keep it moist and humid so the plants dont wilt do to loss of water. Keep it warm and in low light. After a lil while you will have a rooted clone if you were carefull and sterile. Then you can always just make a bubble cloner and have almost 100 percent sucess rate. Take a air pump for a fish aquarium get some air stones and a dark colored tote.. Make holes in the lid to fit some kind of foam in the top. put your airstones in the tote and fill with water.Take your cuttings and stick them in the medium your using to hold the clipping.( I use the foam that you put in windows around AC units.) keep it warm and in a week you should have lil babies waiting to be planted. hope it helps or points you in a direction suited for your OP.

i did i wasnt sure where to take the clone from, and the way they do it on there with a cup of water is strange to me but i am going to try it and we will see how it turns out, but any idea on the best spot to take a clone from on the plant
 
i always take clones from bottom of my plants 4 nodes down cut on 45 and scrape then dredge in clone x and plant in pre made holes in pre soaked pro-mix then into humidity dome for 3 days misting regularly so far im at 100% survival rate

ok, do i clone the shoots growing up next to the sun leaves? also i am about ready to top my last plant i was wondering if the top cliping can be used as a clone? also does anyone know anything about fliming? i tryed it will one of my plants and it pretty much did the same thing as it would of if i topped it, but it seemed to take a few days longer

wow dude i would put them in to flower and sex them first no cents of cloning off a male,wait of time. do it be fore and you dont know what you have. as far as cloning get you some cloning solution and a dome and that works but if you go get you a cloning machine it will be much easyer and faster to root out. i use to use a dome but no more. waist of time. you can spend 25 buck on a dome or 65 on a machine. its just so much easyer. but that my 2 cents

you can clone off any part of plant, iv clone tops of plant and branches. usely i use branches on the bottom. iv learned to sex them first. i did that one time come to find out they were males but there was no way of knowing till its parent was put into flower. but by that time the clones rooted. like i said wait of time.

There are quite a few youtube vids on cloning marijuana. After you take in all the information here & get a understanding of the concept then go pay youtube a visit. Watch the many different methods of cloning marijuana & you'll already be a pro at cloning without even doing your first clone.

:peace:
