How do I use an Aerogarden to clone?

Hey everyone I have several female plants going in DWC right now that I am trying to clone using my 6 pod aerogarden, I am curious what the best method is?

1. Should I use a neopreme sleeve and put the clones stem into that with the cut tip submersed into the water?
2. Should I stick the clones cut end into the supplied aerogarden seedpod/sponge even though its supended several inches above the water?
3. Should I put the clones stem into a neopreme sleeve and put the clones cut tip suspended above the water?
4. Is it even possible to get roots on a clone with an Aerogarden?

Thanks!

only thing about the aerogarden is you have very limited space, you would want to put only clones in the aerogarden and make sure that they dont get above a foot tall cause then those little cfl tubes on the lamp wont suffice any longer, you will need you mother plant in a much larger growing medium and then fromt here you can clone in your aerogarden and take matured plants to a different grow medium, it wont be a good grow if you stick with aerogarden unless you are doing autoflowerer lowrider strain.

Hope this helps.

I forgot to specify I will only be using the aerogarden for "rooting" clones, after roots show up I will be transferring my newly rooted clones into much larger 5 gallon DWC set-up w/ 600watt hps...
I am asking what method works for cloning using the aerogarden... is it one of my 3 options or the 4th?

Thanks

So this is the route I ended up taking, it doesn't appear to be working...after less than 24hrs the clone has gone limp and started to bend @ its stock.

Your clones are too big and I always make a humidity dome for mine. Sometimes taking a clear drinking bottle and cutting the top off

I would have split one of those grow sponges they come with and stuffed the plant in that...then into the basket it comes with.
I might even try some of that fancy cloning gel I heard about.

turn off the lights...cuttings need a dark period after the trauma.
use only distilled water until you see a decent root mass.

As d weezy said, humidity tent will be needed as well as twice a day mistings.
Be patient...roots take weeks to develop on occasion.
they will droop and in general look sad....how would you look if someone just cut off your feet?
you may have some die...use these as learning opportunities (it was to wet and rotted, it was to dry, and so on)
try again. Before you know it you'll be an expert.

it's totally worth it.

did u make clones?

Hey guys just wanted to drop my two cents in if yall don’t mind. I had three cuttings from a good friend of mine. Hooked me up with a strain that only gets around by clones. I was so excited, I put all three in my aerogarden. I didn’t realise there’s a butch to it when it comes to the distance into the water. So 3 weeks went by, they were green and alert, but no roots. A week later two of them started turning yellow around the leaves. This is supposed to be a good sign but no roots. Two days later one had a tiny little white nub. It was the only cutting just above the water( a hairs width) the others were in the water. After 3days that little nub exploded into hella roots. The other two never rooted. They stayed green for another two weeks. Hope this helps. I was having trouble starting seeds in my dwc so I needed something with roots. That AG saved my green thumb.
