by cutting the leaves it is supposed to make the plant focus on making new roots instead of feeding its leaves.

Also, forgive me if'n I'm wrong but it looks like yous may have took clones from a plant that twas in flower..... Gonna take longer for roots if that be the case

so then i should cut the leaves right? help the roots grow faster? and yea they were 2 days in flower =/ i didnt have my cloning supplies yet but i still wanted to give cloning a try. nice observation autopsy =) i have another plant that is also 2 days in flower but has more pistils than the others i want to take a clone or 2 from it because i didnt get a chance to grow it bigger and i want to give it another try, will they still be good clones???

yes they will it will just take longer for roots and the new leaves may grow out deformed. but they will go back to normal.

Yessum, cut them bigger leaves, leave the smaller ones. You kin take clones from a flowerin plant but it takes a heel of a long time to get it converted back to veg cycle... takes longer to root aswell. Mist'em ever day now, keep the dome over those beauties......

Also, you kin send me some pictures of yerself naked from the neck up.

Cut off the long fan leaves about half way this will prevent water loss

This is because the New clone has no roots and therefore cannot take in oxygen and moisture ,, You cut the tips of the leafs off so the roots will grow quicker and this way they can take in water and oxygen through the leafs ..... Simples
