Clones need to be taken from side branches. The branchs you want to take them from are the lower branches as well. Gel rooting solutions work best for inducing rooting. You need to get some Jiffy Pelets and put them indoors. Trim the cut stem down to a few leafs and cut the tips of the remaining leafs. Clones also need at least 18 hours of light to root so indoors is the only way to go for clones. It will also be harder for you to take clones because it is in the flowering stage as well because you must shift the hormones entirely back to the veg. stage.

Also, you can LST your plant to give it a lower profile.
