how cut clones not in FAQ

Was considering cloning also, but unsure of cutting technique. Really want to avoid stressing my baby. Hope someone has some experience they can share.

thnx for any help!

ok listen, first off i wouldnt start taking clones until right b4 you start flowering your plants so you can get the largest clone possible(meaning it will have a higher survival rate) you wanna cut a grow shoot from the bottom of the plant because those will grow the tallest(stretching for light) also, these shoots dont grow much bud(because they're shaded) and are just sucking the plants energy when it could be concentrating on other things. the cut you take should not be short then i'd say 8 inches. trim the fan leaves so they dont wieght the plant down. grab your take root and right before you plant it cut the end of the shoot on a sharp angle and dip it in the take root. pat the dirt down. put a stake next to it for support and tie some rope around it so it will stand up. good luck

I don't think you looked very hard. There is a ton of great advice on cloning in the FAQ. Maybe this one is the most comprehensive, nuts and bolts article.
