im sure there's something in the forum about it, but RIU's search engine is a little funny sometimes for me anyway. try google images cloning cannabis. the lower shoots are supposed to be better for cloning. when you take your cut, cut just below a leaf set and strip those leaves off the cutting, it should give you more area for roots to grow. anything you cut off your mother should grow back and then some, with proper veg time. also try taking your cutting like 30 minutes after a good watering, thats supposed to help the rooting process. hope that makes sense. im no expert but i did stay at a holiday inn last night. :eyesmoke: good luck, i gotta go take a shit
 
Take cuts about 6-8 inches long. So anywhere that has upward growth not leaves but new shoots w stem n leaves. Cut at 45 degree angle. Put immediately in a glass of water. Let sit while u prep. Take cut out cut again at 45 n dip immediately in gel. Go up high on cut. Put in medium. N re dip if u wish n re put in. Cover w humidity dome. Once a day open up dome 4 a little bit. Watch so nothing wilts w cover off. Water when dry. Wait roots will pop and then ur cool to do w them what u wish good luck. Ps I use root shooters from advanced n they r the shit. So easy
 
Here's how I do it bro, I find good looking growing branch 4 inches or longer with good plyable stem, cut it off mom then cut it again at a 45 and put in glass of water then into rooting horemone and then into coco, soil, or ready rooter whichever I decide at time then water. I don't use a humidity dome at all seems like more pain to me and I never saw much difference not to mention lid comes off only a day or two later or problems ime. I don't use a heating pad either though they do help, but I built a shelf in top of my veg room and hung 2ft light about 8 in above and hot air rises so roots stay warm. That's all I do and I have at least 98 percent success this way useing coco, soil, or plugs.
Cloneing is easy, I think most people that fail at it is because they try to much and hard lol
