how long will they need to grow for before i can flower ?

5 weeks could be too early depending on the light/strain, I like to have 7-8 main nodes before I cut. From the bottom is good (They'll lose light anyway) and pick a branch that has at least 3-4 nodes on it.

There are many methods for cloning and I suggest you read them all, I do Hydro; I cut (at 45 degrees) the branch, remove the bottom leaf set, dip the stem into water and make the final cut under water (45 degrees), dip into my 'Dip-n-grow' rooting solution and put the cutting into a pre-soaked rockwool cube, which goes into my dome.

The dome is good to keep lots of humidity, clones only take in water through the leaf at first so keep them moist but not saturated at all times.

Have fun, cloning rocks!

that should work! and you should keep it in there until you can see a nice root system coming from the rockwool, which would be in a week or two...
