When purchasing clones for your home garden, always ask your shop where they came from. Not all pests, diseases, pesticide residues, or genetic markers will be easy to spot with the naked eye, but give your clones a good look before introducing them to your garden.
Thin and narrow stems typically mean the clone was taken from a weak or less viable branch. These cuttings may be more prone to disease or death and their root systems may take longer to develop.
Be sure to inspect all areas of your clone for the presence of pests. Large pests such as fungus gnats and spider mites can be spotted relatively easily. Check under each leaf and also check the soil medium, as some pests live there. Certain pests can also leave markers—spider mites leave spots and webbing, and other insects can leave trace bite marks. Many diseases can be difficult to detect in cuttings, but there are a few visual cues that can be seen early on.
A lack of vigor is a major cue—check for limping leaves, irregular or mutated growth, and discoloration. Powdery mildew PM is a very common disease found on clones, and mold spores can transfer to other plants.
Keep an eye out for white powder on stems and leaves. If you see any suspicious residue on a clone, ask the grower about their in-house integrated pest management IPM and always err on the side of caution. If some clones look OK at the shop and you decide to take them home, make sure to take a few last precautionary steps before introducing them to the rest of your garden.

Cut your clone with a straight cut just below a node using a sharp scissor or razor blade. Preferably all clones have about the same length, so no clone has to fight for light.
