Well....You'll need some rooting compound/hormone.!!

You could clone directly to soil but also to rockwool or jiffy pellets! [recomended for ease]...I thought you'd already cloned your plants

If not then simply cut the top of the stem away and place it in water IMMEDIATY while you take clones from other plants [if you have any]

Then ,whilst your cutting is submerged under water ..shave about 1 cm of the the skin off the stem using a sherp knife or razor [preferable]..You are circumsizing you clone effectivley..then dip the cutting into rooting gell [I use CLONEX...it's the bomb]
Also I use a syring and drip about 1 cl of the gel dirctly onto the substrate[ growing medium] ...To prepare the medium...Use a match stick [or similar] to poke a hole into your soil/medium that the clones's stem will be placed into [ drip some rooting gel into this hole] .
once your clones have had a good dunk and swirl in the gel...place it into the medium [make sure that the hole is slighty bigger than the diameter of the stem or the gel will rub off as you squeeze it in!!]
Use a moist [but not saturated] soil or jiffy pellet or rockwool plug [similar moistness to the conditions used for germination!]
I use a home made "clone dome"...It is basically a clear plasitc box which houses the clones and keeps the moisture in . The clones have NO ROOTS and can only take in water through their LEAVES and so HIGH HUMIDITY is essential for successfull cloning..
.Clones don't need much light to root so keep them out of too intense light..you don't want them photosynthesizing
like mad because they don't have roots and can't get enough water!

WARMTH is essntial Clones should root in about a week /2 weeks..
Don't fuck them around too much...just leave them alone and judge their condition by looking at the state of the leaves! Lift the lid of the dome evryday and mist the leaves on their under side and top side..then leave them


Give them 6 hours of darkness! Each night

Expect them to wilt a bit during the first few days:thumbsup:
