I disagree a little with what your saying kush, were his plant is at yeah i dont agree with cloning it but to each his own and it would be something new for me to see(so i say go for it)
but i disagree as I clone off of plants that have been in flower for 10 days as by that point you can see sex atleast i could. And I have had great success with it rooting at the same rate of clones taken off of vegging plants and the ones I took off flower actually have nicer roots.
