You could definitely use a few more weeks. Especially if they have been slowed down due to improper situations. Your flowers may have simply slowed down. Give them a little time.

well its been flowering for at least 5 to 6 weeks... but yah my yard as alot of trees so it doesnt get much sun light.. i actually have to move it from place to place to keep it in direct sunlight for the majority of the day... the top one is really nice looking wide but only about 3" long the rest are also pretty small buds but the hairs are turning more orange/redish alot every day. its closer to 65 70% now... i was really hoping it was closer to being done.. obviously, lol but i most definealy want to get as much as possible off it

ya definatly leave it a while longer, when she gets around 8 weeks start to check your trichomes everyday. when the trichomes are 50% milky/cloudy or when 35% are a deep amber your ready to harvest. the day before you cut her down, leave her in complete darkness for 30 hours. resin is produced majority during the dark cycle so this last long dark period will cause a noticible burst in resin amounts. its not gona completley blow you away though, just a distinguished difference

really?? i thought that i could keep the plant alive or atleast a clone of it or something.. like just not harvest all of it and keep it alive... cant you do that or is that not what you want to do???? im really confused now lol.. sorry i really dont know anything when it comes to growing..

Taking a clone right now is not advised. Ideally, you want to take a clone before the flower stage has been initiated. What dannyboy602 meant, I think, was to chop some of the buds that look choppable and keep the rest on to grow a little more. That is very common. As long as you stay disciplined and avoid leaving them out in cold temps, you should be all good leaving the smaller buds on a little longer and waiting for them to develop a little more.

Leave some lower growth on her when you cut her...enough to keep her alive and try to re-veg.

so that should work no problem then?? thats kinda what i wanted to do.. could i make a clone with it tho?? or no just try and keep it alive and make a clone after i harvest it.. or do you have to chop the whole plant down to harvest it all??

Well it stresses the plant and could take quite a while, but treat her right and cross your fingers. I know it's possible but haven't done it. Maybe someone else can chime in?

Re-vegging the plant after harvesting is a different issue entirely. Cloning at this point is not advisable for several reasons but considering that you are already having issues with temperature and apparently don't have the setup indoors to facilitate growth (I'm assuming), I wouldn't even bother attempting either task. Concentrate on the few weeks you have left and get as much as you can. Then start over and prepare properly.

Overall though, considering the situation, they actually look pretty good. ;)

thank you.. i thought so myself... if only i woulda been able to take care of her better in the beginning.. i actually had 2.. and they were clones to begin with... now the thing with why i want to clone, is because i currently have everything set up for an indoor growth its not at my house and it took a while to get everything ready but now i actually have an entire hydroponic set up.. i got 6 seperate "tanks" and a really nice light.. the whole nine yards.. so would it be worth it then you think?? i dont know i want to at least get 1 or mabey 2 off of it so that i got a nice strain to start with for the upcomming months

Personally, I wouldn't bother taking clones from those plants. But it's up to you.

If you take the clones now, consider this: They are in the late stages of flower, therefore they would not only have to go through the already extremely stressful process of becoming a new plant, but they would also have to convert back to vegetative growth. I just don't believe in it, unless of course it is your only option.

If you have some extra money, consider buying some seeds.
