@TaeTooTimes, You should have a pretty easy time with it. Just make sure the mom is healthy when you get the cuttings. Some people say that taking cuts from lower down on the plant helps the cutting have more of the hormones needed to produce roots, and makes butter clones I'm not sure if that matters all that much. Some people use plain water in a small vase and replace it every day until it has roots then transplant it to soil but that takes longer (up to 2 weeks or more) and is susceptible to rotting. It seems like most people use some rooting agent. I've heard of people having great luck with only honey if you want to be as organic and clean as possible but I used "clonex" brand rooting hormone and rapid rooter plugs. Most people seem to use rock wool plugs for clones because. You want to find a nice stem that is neither incredibly thin nor thick and you want to have about 3 or 4 nodes. The part you are sticking into the substrate should be around were the nodes are and cut the stalk at an angle and some people like to lightly scrape the area, then you dip it into the rooting agent, then into the substrate that has been pre-moistened. Then I put them into regular seed trays with humidity dones. you can pack a bunch into one. but you might have better-quality clones if you leave some space in each tray. You also should trim back some of the leaves on it and only really leave a few main leaves and some people like to cut the tips off to reduce the amount of energy the plant needs, and to get the cutting to focus on producing roots. then you want The humidity in the seed tray to be around the 75-90 percent range for 4 days or so then you can start bringing it down to 70-80 percent over the next few days by opening the vents and you should have enough roots to transplant into the soil in about 7-12 days. I just spray a little water on the substrate pucks, on the top of the dome, and pretty much everywhere even the leaves of the plants the first few days but don't it with a ton of water In the bottom of the tray. but you going to want to keep the clones a little wetter than you would with normal plants so they don't dry out before the roots form. Also be as clean as you can without overthinking it too much. not a bad idea to just wipe your utensils down with alcohol, and make sure the seed trays are as clean as you can get them. Sound like a lot but it is pretty simple. I have pictures on my Galaxy diary of my cloning process too. Cloning is super fun and a good way to save money on seed and save plants you like. and now I feel like I have a grasp on it and will try it on some of my blackberries,fig, and currants in my garden
