cut off a piece of the plant, put it in a cup of water, 7 days later you have roots, pretty easy

Read this: GROWFAQ

It's talking about using rockwool but doesn't matter... you can do the same method with peat pots (just prepare the peat pots as their directions say).

Skip the nutes!!!! Clones can't handle them. Get a humidity dome and check around the house to see if you have a heating pad.

I dont root in water, seems to take longer IMO. I just use a humidity tent/dome, and soil that barely has moisture in it, so forces roots to grow out and look for water. Can cut at 45 degree angle and split stem vertically like 1/4 an inch, and scarify the lower skin of the stem to also help speed up rooting.

this is what i use. i tryed just the vita grow had 2 outa 6 take then i got the take root and i dip my cutting in the vita grow & then in the take root u can use the rock wool or pet pods work great also keep humity high and u should do well. i also keep mine in water as soon as i see roots off to my pots i will finish in. make sure u get at least 2 nods dipped. i am 100% on my cutings to take root w/ this teq. hope this help
