As a general rule you would use one half as much of a ground spice in a dish as opposed to the whole spice. But take care even the reduced amount of a ground spice may color your food a whole lot more than the whole spice would. I have turned gravy green with to much ground rosemary.

Whole cloves are much stronger than ground. Depending on how strong you want the flavor start with substituting 3 whole cloves with 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves. If you find this to be too strong - or not strong enough - adjust the amounts.

How many grams in a teaspoon of ground cloves?

I have done this before, and found that whole cloves vary in size. Some cloves can be twice the size of their companions; so, this is not easy to answer. Does your recipe require that you grind the cloves? If so, then you should grind enough to occupy 2 teaspoons. I realize fresh spices are a good practice to follow, but cloves are a strong spice; and, I have found that my guests generally can't distinguish cloves from an unopened bottle of ground cloves versus the fresh-ground originals.
