and yea, a clone is a small trimming off of a plant then you splice (nice idea...yea gills..) like gills, and you can dip it into root hormone, but thats not completely neccassary....you then either stick it into a rockwool pellet...or if you didnt use root hormone you can simply stick it into a peice of tinfoil over a cup of water....theres FAQs on this, and a ton of way more detailed descriptions on how to clone...if your really cant find any im sure i could help you out....
