Well i'm on my first grow and took 2 clones and put them in 16 oz cups. THe clones have 2 nodes plus the tip. I cut them at a 45% angle, let them sit in water for 1 min, and i put them in 16oz cups with the bottom 20% filled with worm castings, and the rest filled with an organic compost/soil mix out of the grow bag the mother is growing in. I watered with 2.5ml fulvic acid, 4 drops superthrive, 2.5ml super plant tonic, and like 4-5 drops of cocowet in 24oz of water. Oh and i dipped the clones about 1/2 inch in greenlight rooting horomone powder.

They are sitting by the treeline in some brush in a a 10" plastic saucer with probably 2oz of water in it. I covered each cup with a gallon ziplock and clipped 50% of the leaf tips off except the tiny leaves

I did this as the sun was setting and they wont get direct light till probably noon tomorrow and even then it will probably be partial. It's around 85% humidity and 70s at night and 60-70% and upper 80s in the day
Here's a couple pics of the mother.

I really have no idea what the success rate of cloning generally is, and how bad doing at this point in growth (and outdoors) is going to lower it... shit i don't even know if i am flowering yet... i take its in the very early stages?

sounds good, Co2 helps. i used club soda. you should cover the soil with something green. You'll be able to notice a black circle in a sea of green. but I'm always super paranoid.

yea good point, i remember seeing a while back an article about an interview with a cop that did the weed searching and he said they always fly around in early spring as well as fall, because they are actually easiest to spot a bunch of dots from the air than it is a matured green plant
