Well what I do is take the cuttings, I try for an angle cut but no big deal if I don't and I put them in moist dirt immediately so air doesn't get it the cutting, then I spray the leaves with water when they look dry and for the first 3-4 days I have them on full 24 hour light and then I switch to a 18/6 grow( only to keep my clones from growing super fast because I only have 1 grow space and my mother plants are still flowering, so for the meanwhile I have my clones in a 5 gallon fish tank with a daylight clf for light. Nothing special about my methods, it's just what I'm comfortable with
