Cloning can be a difficult and tricky procedure; however this little guide should help eliminate some of your hurdles. To start, take a clone from a mother plant while still in the vegetative phase. Use a sharp knife or razor blade and cut a 3inch or so branch from the base of the mother plant at a 45 degree angle. Make sure there are a few leaves on the new clone so it can absorb enough light to take root.

Now at this point, you can take the cut end of your new clone or stick it directly into the 2inch neoprene plug so that the stem of the plant fits snuggly in the small hole in the middle and is deep enough that the cut portion of the stem is at least ½ ways down the length of the netpot. Make sure the hydroponic fogger unit is on and the area under the netpot is filled with a heavy fog. This will aid in faster root development.
