Looks to me like it's in the shade too much and stretching like hell for the light.
Sativas are always skinny looking but that one is a bit anorexic. Going to need a much taller cage for when she flowers if it is a she.
Otherwise healthy looking.

I have very nosey neighbors so open growing is not really an option...it gets sun most the afternoon just no direct morning light.Looks to me like it's in the shade too much and stretching like hell for the light.

Ive takin three clippings but would I want to keep them outside with the mother or do they need artificial light inside? Am I even doing this right?

I would do the cuttings inside and make sure they have at least 18 hours of light. Just a couple of 5000K LED bulbs or old 6400K CFL bulbs. Even one bulb will do and can be in a window that doesn't get direct sunlight for part of that 18 hours too.
A mix of wood chips and mud like you have them in won't likely work well. Cuttings need wet, fine soil, sand or fine perlite to form roots. I use screened promix hp so it's quite fine in 9-hole seedling pots or any small container if only doing 1 or three. I dip in root gel then powder then put in a pre-prepared hole in the middle of each cup of the seedling pot and gently pack the mix around the base then spray some water around the base to make sure its soggy wet and the stem has good contact with wet mix. Then under a humidity dome that gets opened twice a day and water sprayed on the inside of the dome and maybe on the floor of it but not on the cuttings themselves to keep humidity high.
They'll even root in a glass of water but need very moist conditions, less light and higher humidity so some sort of dome over them to keep moisture around them until they start growing roots and have some way of getting water.
I took 2 cuttings each off of the 12 plants I have flowering now just the day after I flipped the moms to flower on July 1. By the 12th all were rooted and it's been a couple years since I last did clones. I put them in small pots on Fri night.
You should maybe check out threads about cloning to see what might work for you.
How close are your nosy neighbours? Close enough to smell the plant later when it gets real stinky if it does?
Should be lots of good info about cloning in some of the books in the following link too.
I found a great spot to download FREE POT BOOKS . I downloaded a grow bible first and got lots more. Books look great and complete like the real ones I have here. No web site but just a page of links. Just right click on what you want and then "Save Link As" to download so they don't open first as many are 50+ megs. They got lots. Enjoy.
