There are definately multiple methods of cloning your plants. Aeroponic cloning machines seem to work the best but are quite expensive. First of all, you need a mother with strong cloning genetics. In my experience, some mothers clone great whereas others don't seem to want to root, so try a few out to find good ones. Next, get a propagation tray and humidity dome which are only a couple of bucks online or at your local hydro store. Also, get some starter cubes to put your cuttings in. Rockwool works good but make sure to get rockwool soak to treat your cubes with prior to planting. I use readygrow cubes which are pre-moistened and pH balanced which is nice. Get some Advanced Nutrients VHO and Jump Start as well as 3D Thirdeye and a rooting hormone such as Olivia's root gel, Rootone, or Clonex. Foilar feed the mothers with VHO a few days before cutting as well as the cuttings daily after the cut. Use a sharp knife or razor blade to cut a 45 degree angle cut on the stem of your cuttings and dip them in the root hormone, then place them into the cube. Fill the bottom of the tray with water mixed with Jump Start and Thirdeye to just below the bottom of the cell tray and place dome above a low-wattage (17W) heat mat or a heat mat with a temperature guage hooked to it. Put about 2-3 ml of solution from the bottom of the tray on each cube as well as a light spray of VHO solution daily until roots form . This should occur within about a week from cutting depending on genetics and environmental conditions. Place the dome underneath some flourescent lighting or HID (If using HID, make sure to place the dome at least 3-4 feet from the light to prevent flopping)
Good luck. Feel free to respond with any questions or comments-
