I have tried many methods and what worked best for me was right into soil...use small cups like 16OZ cups which is easier to monitor waterings...you want moist soil NOT soaking. 7-10days roots will set in, make sure you use a root hormone. You will know when there is enough roots cause the plant will start to climb and grow vigorously.

cool so you mean a a cloning gel like clonex or something like that? Another question The mother is at my house but the grow op is at my friends house like 10 minutes away. What should I do with the fresh cuttings while transporting them to my buddies so they dont die on the way.

yeah exactly.....either clonex or the powder type...they all work really if used accordingly. 10-minutes is no big deal, take your cuttings and put them in water right away...then off......moisten your soil, take a pencil or something and make the hole...place in the cutting that you dipped in rooting hormone into soil and cover it up. Keep it in low light conditions. Mist it a couple times a day....after a week you can mix up a very weak nute solution and spray them with it once a day.

well i tried but it seemed the day after I cloned we had a heat wave where I live(temps were up to 102 F, making my grow room like 110 F) and Im pretty sure theyre fucking dead. They wilted to shit but im hoping if I keep misting and keeping the soil moist that maybe it will root and I can salvage them.

no mean to hi-jack the thread but im kinda in the same boat.. i got a 4ft plant, 4-5 weeks into flowering, is it too late to clone? and whats the avg amount u should take before it gets stressful on the mother?
