cloning,.. first time, need advice, thanks

[HAT TRICK STEVE]

hi im on 1st grow and have a north lights, that i pinched toh top out of about a month ago, and there are 4 perfect shoots coming out from the top 2 nodes,.. which i wanted to clone these 4 cuttings before i put the main plant into bud,....
here is what i was thinking of doing,.. get 4 lg slurpee cups with those clear plastic dome lids and fill them with some brand new pro mix and just dip the cuttings in some cl gel put them in and use the dome lids but leave the hole in the top for the straw open,..
but im open to any better suggestions thanks

peat pucks work well, and are fairly inexpensive. they allow you to see roots before planting the clone.

but your way will work

A bubble cloner works for me roots in 10-14 days.

thanks to all above for the input,.. i could use rockwool or rapid rooters in the slurpee cups,... you see i really didnt want to buy a cloner at this point,... ive invested so much already,.. but the bubble cloner idea sounds good,.. maybe i could make a small one out of a tall tupperware and an air stone, and a 1 3/4 hole cutter for the lid,.....

but i also would like a little input on cloning solution and what if anything to put in the water,... the guy at the hydro shop says clonex outsells olivias about 8 to 1,... but i have a packet of rootone from my house plants

you see im kind of limeted on space too,... i keep all my seedling plants in a phototron,...

once again thanks to all, ill post some rep when i get home from work later guys!!!

+1 for bubble cloners. Babys never wilt look like I took them today. Also retardproof. just change water out every two days
