2 tents? You're cheating!
How long have you been growing for?

There are many different ways to take cuttings and get them to root.
The easiest and most cost efficient way is the one that works so well they all survive.
In other words you will have to just jump in and get your feet wet as the saying goes. Try one method after another till you find one that works for you. What works for one guy is the best for him or her and does not mean it will be the best for you.My best way is to take the cuttings off of mother plants that are being grown outside for the summer. I put the cuttings in small containers of soil, leave them in dappled sunshine & shade under a large tree in the back yard, water them every now and then unless it rains. Then when they seem to be growing new leaves and maybe a root or two stick out the bottom of the small pot I will transplant to a larger container. That is my easiest and most cost effective method.

I've only tried one method of cloning and that was with sticking its stem in a large bowl with an airpump running. The roots never came through for me with this method though. Once I start my pheno seeds all planted I may look into another cloning method! still have 10 seeds or so, 3 of them being pheno fems

@SmokingWings since this is my first grow, and things seem to be going fire. I def wanna try cloning this momma!
I use root riots humidity dome and tray with 72 cell insert. Have roots normally in 7 days. Head over to my journal where I talk about my clone setup a little. Towards the end of the video
If you have not done it before and are ready to give it a try I suggest a basic google search using > rooting cuttings. Then start reading up on the various methods. Try one method after another until one works for you.

Do you
Did you just take cutting and put stem right into soil and then into the dome?

@SmokingWings mahalo for the pointers, and I have already read/watched tuts on cloning... I have a basic understanding, so I'm definitely ready to figure this out! Eager Beaver here (haha) plus I wanna be ready cuz I have a good friend that wants a cut. They wanna start growing after watching my plant while I was on vacay.
Its the snip and dip technique and I’m putting them in rooting plugs. They are like little brown sponges. Cruise over to my page and we can get you sorted don’t want to hijack this thread.

Greetings from Nola. This is my first grow. A lot of Google and reading everything on this site. I'm on day 3 of 12 and 12. Hope to see flowers soon.
Growing and smoking for over 500 years now. The key to a long life is smoking what I call green magic

55hr darkness to start the transition? Does the extra darkness produce some type of hormones to allow for a better flip to flower? I've always done flipping by reducing lights to 12/12 never had a long period dark for this.

I jumped some hoops to get this far.
I just put em on the timer 12/12..... No 55hr transition. First I heard of it.

@slipnfall97 @780grow I was instructed to do a 48hr dark period to trigger flip faster. Though I did 55hr to get my on/off times right where I wanted them.
