Good way to clone?

[HighTimeStoner]

Anyone know a good way to clone? I have grown for awhile but only from seeds I have never attempted to clone.
I do have root tone just need to know how to do it.
I have a plant now that is starting to bud out it is Dutch Passion Isis strain and I wanna clone this plant any help on how I can do so or a site that has sweet info would be appreciated.
Thanks

HTS, I tried all sorts of recomended methods which didn't work, until I hit upon a way of doing it which seems to be foolproof. If you cut just below a node, at an angle, and then suspend the stalk in plain old water, the cutting will be ok if you put it into a dark or shaded place for a day or two right after you cut it from the plant. I don't know why light hurts them when they're freshly cut, but it does. I take a plastic disposable cup, make a couple of vertical slits up near the top. Then I cut another cup into strips about 1/4" wide. Next you cut off a piece of plastic soda straw, about 3/4" length, and make a couple of cuts that the strip can pass through, slit it vertically, and push the strip through one side of the cup, through the section of straw, and through the other side of the cup. Now you have a cup with a little tube in the middle that will support the cutting in an upright position. the slit in the section of straw is for when your cutting has roots on it, and you can pull it through the side of the straw, instead of through the straw, which of course would shred off those roots. Fill the cup with water, poke the cutting down through the bit of straw in the center, and put it in a shaded area for a day or 2. By the way, if you leave it in the shade too long, it'll die also. It could take up to a month, but more like 2 or 3 weeks before you've got roots growing, sufficient to keep the cutting alive after you transplant it into soil. Some of the water will evaporate, keep an eye on it and top it off from time to time.

Try this, I think it will work better than any other method I know of, and it's simple to do.

All I do is-

mix 2 parts vermiculite to 1 part perlite

Fill my pots with this mixture

dip cuttings in clonex rooting gel and wipe off excess

stick cuttings in the perlite/vermiculite mix

place potted cuttings in plastic propagation tanks

leave on window sill or similar place until roots grow

My clones root in about 10 -15 days with this method.

Cloning is best done during veg cycle rather than while budding.The genetic program that dictates and regulates growth is switched to a reproductive stage while budding and does not encourage easy vegging/cloning. It is not impossible just a more difficult and less successful time to do it.
I would say, and this is just my personal opinion, let your plant bud out, harvest it, and then reveg it and after two months of revegging take your cuttings.
So rather than continue and go into explaining a fool proof method of cloning here, consider what I have said and post an email addy if you want more details.
