I heard you shouldn't take cutting before a month old.

As soon as the plant is big enough to take a decent sized cutting off and leave at least 2 pairs of nodes works for me, usually about 8-10" tall, but I've only grown from seed once so not sure how long it would take to get to that height. Depends on the environment, lights, temps, nutes etc as well.

I wait until after i top a few times so that she is good and bushy. I also try to only take cuttings that are at least 1/8 inch in diameter.

the key to cloneing is shuting down the nitregon, thats why a week in flower is the best time to clone, myself i like cloneing 5 or 6 weeks in.... how ever i do take clones b4 flowerbuti stopfeeding them nutes for a week be4 cuting if they are still in veg cycle.

can't i just take a cutting from one of the lower limbs, drop it in some rooting hormone and then it'll start to grow roots in "x" medium? The plant was once sick cause its my first hydro system and its the last i have left, so its about 8" tall and 4 - 5 canopies tall. do i have to wait till it branches out before doing it or can a single fan leaf with the stem connected to the main stem work?

no you want a mature limb. if your plant is sick it most likely won't root and if it does chances are it won't take.... the healther the plant to clone from the better...
