well theres not much to tell really.. preferably you want to start from a fem seed not a clone. if u need to take a high volume of clones u need a MH light if not flourescents are fine. just keep it under 12/12 and keep topping it. dont start taking clones until its at least 3 weeks old

Theres not really a trimming method to make a plant bushy. Its usually strain dependant. If you want a bush grow an indica. They are short with tight internodes, whereas a sativa will be tall and lanky. If you have a sativa and want to keep it small. You can chop the top off and lst the side branches (tie them down)
