I cut the clone and place in water with a drop of Aloe Vera gel, like for sunburns sold at Walmart etc., for about an hour. I immediately plant the clone in red solo cup, bottom pieces snipped out and water until it runs out of the bottom, with FFHF soil about 2 1/2" to 3" down. I take a plastic sandwich bag and snip a v out of both sides to provide oxygen. I spray / mist the inside of baggie 2 times a day with water and place over cup as a humidity dome.I check the soil to maintain moisture 2 times a day, using a moisture meter, $7.99 on Amazon. Roots in 5 to 7 days. I have about a 99.9% success rate even if clones are taken while flowering as late as 3 weeks in, I haven't taken any later than that.
