I usually prefer to produce simplified procedures and articles that focus on the most basic information, delivered in a direct way using every day language. A lot of the articles written on cannabis topics are a little over the top and packed with piles of detail that can distract from what you really want to know. However, I also try not to re-invent the wheel. In the case of the this topic, Leafly has already done a rather good job of putting this together in an easy to understand format.
The only bit I would add to what they have to say is that the use of rooting hormone is strictly optional. If you can wait an extra 3-4 days then there is no need to use rooting hormones (which can be expensive). If you must apply something for rooting, look into the use of aloe vera as a substitute. The meat of an aloe leaf turns into a gel with little effort and contains natural rooting hormones.
In any event, please visit this article from Leafly for the how-to’s regarding cloning.
Happy Harvests!
