I do monster cropping with most of my plants so I have had a lot of practice cloning simply because when I'm trimming I don't like to waste.
Easiest, no fuss way in my opinion is just some damn rockwool. It's simple, set and forget water every two days or so.
More complex is to use an airstone in a bucket, take a piece of thin styrofoam and cut into it, Like so ----| you basically just want to be able to slide the stem into the foam without breaking either. Once you've done that and placed your clones in just let it float on the bubbles. The agitation and increased oxygen will help speed up the cloning process.
No matter what way you do it, the way you take your clone is all important.
Get a cup of water, it can be RO or any such nonsense but water is water and it's essentially just an oxygen barrier at the moment so that you don't kill your clone immediately with an air bubble in it's waterways.
Source your clone from the bottom of the plant, you've got a couple options here. You can straight up just slice off a smaller branch and throw that in the cup. Cut it at a 45 degree angle and then toss it into your preferred cloning medium.
Or, you can be a little more in depth. Find your clone, remove the larger fan leaves and then take the clone and place it in the water. Once you have your medium ready to go, take the clone and slice down the stem six times shallowly. Immediately dip it into your gel/powder depending on the medium and put it into the cloner.
Kapow, cloner boner.
. The benefit of using ta large AP with 4 stones is that the air above the water line becomes O2 rich moisture. Now you can just put the stem tip in the water. More than that makes the stem susceptible to becoming soaked like overcooked spaghetti- That's bad, umK?> Think Mt Garrison from South Park
