  • you can take clone at most points of a cannabis plant’s life – although clones may root a little faster in the vegetative stage, you can take clones up until 2-3 weeks before harvest in order to save your favorite plant for the next grow (though make sure to pinch off any buds and expect some weird looking growth for the first week or two on cannabis clones taken from flowering plants)
Guaranteed once you reveg one and flower it you won't stop.

Think I’m gonna try this. Donna have to hide it for the first week as I need to shut down for a minute, but then after that I’ll already have a rooted clone. Last time I had to do this I had to restart from scratch, almost ran out of bud! It was real scary

Once you get a rotation of these it's addictive . One vegged flowering clone gives tons of cuttings. In fact you have to thin them so rooting more is easy. People stop answering your calls to come get some.

I have some decent mother plants, I use a "bonsai" method that works well.

I know this is an old post, clones or cuttings, do have a greater maturity, I have grown many clones and find that they take less time to flower and they are even better than the original mother. The problem most growers experience is time, meaning that they do not allow a plant to mature long enough. I have a mother plant that is three years old, I have several others ranging from 6 months to a year. Every cutting I have taken matures quickly, this removes veg. time drastically as well as at the very least, reducing flower time by a week. as far as mutation in cuttings or some genetic degradation, well, that comes from plant care and if there are to many deficiencies. Just make sure you keep the best cutting from a plant, you can also clone up to 4 weeks into flower, of course I would suggest if it is a cutting from a flowering plant that you use a rooting agent. I have been growing for awhile and have a lot of experience with cuttings from multiple kinds of plants, most of my knowledge comes from my experience or my girlfriends, she has been growing plants for over thirty years.

I'm a perpetual grower. I am quite new have only been doing it around 5 years. This is my first time running clones instead of seeds. These are first gen clones and I'm noticing on the 6th week of flower the hairs starting to turn rapidly and the trikes are almost all cloudy. by the way they look I should be flushing now to pull down in a week. It seems if I give them the full 8 weeks most trikes would be amber and past peak THC content. My system is a dwc system so I do not use a medium hence the less flushing time. but would you suggest flushing now and pulling at 7 weeks if I wanted that peak thc content ?

This may be a dumb question but do clones mature more quickly through the flowering stage then plants from seed? It seems that mine do. Please post your thoughts and experiences.

yes, sexually mature, plus budsites all the way up and down plus less vegetation to cut away at harvest time.
