Hello folks.
As the title says I have never cloned before. But I love the way this plant is growing and want to keep it in my arsenal. Nodes everywhere and super bushy. She is only on day 25 of veg and I would really like to clone her. The first picture shows the 2 cuttings I would like to take (for now.) They are the bottom nodes. Is now a good time? Please let me know what you think along with any tips or what you think about the plant in general.

Thanks all!

cloning at the right time is about plant health. Yours looks healthy and ready to clone.
clean scalpel/razor, cutting board, clonex, rooting cube/moist pro mix= snip cutting at base
cut again at the base of a stem on the cutting, at a 45 degree angle towards end of stem.
Carefully scrape the cut to further expose the cambium layer seen as white inside the green stem.
dip into a spot of clonex and into a pre poked hole in your moist rooting medium. Mist once and dome for a few
days, when roots appear on the bottom of the cube/in the cup of promix, take the dome off, transplant into
a larger container, water heavily, and only again when dirt is dry and light.

I’ve been cloning for a long time now and I think that it’s important to know that having your cubes at the right pH is just as important if not more important than having cloning gel . I soak my rockwool cubes in water with pH down to make sure they are around 6.0
