I heard it could 'confuse' the clone, if you clone after the motherplant has gone into her flowering period.
Does anybody have experince with this?

I snipped off one of my lower branch's that was begining to flower, but it was hardly reciving any light.
I dipped it in some rooting hormone, and its still alive, but it hasnt grown at all, im just gonna try to keep it alive, and see what happens.

I have taken clones from plants 8 weeks into flowering and had no problems rooting it at all, they where little buds with roots, however reverting these rooted buds into a veg state again took about a month, but then they burst into huge bushy monsters, with amazing growth and ended up being large yielders once re-bloomed.......so not being able to take clones from a flowering plant is a myth, it is not a problem at all, i find they even root faster because of the higher phosphorus an potassium than a vegging plant that has a lot of nitrogen.......take clones from flowering plants..it's no problem, ....but if you want to avoid a major reveg take them within the first 10 days of initiating 12/12....

I'm in the same boat as ibc, but I miss calculated and my plants were a full 5 weeks into flowering. I have been giving them some B-1, a little wilt proof and ph balanced water. They are in root cubes in cups on top of a heating pad and under an agro sun grow light, floro. I also keep plastic wrap over the top to keep the humidity high.

If these actually come back to plants I think you can cut clones any time and be fine, with proper care of course.

Good luck

That sounds like good news to me. I just sent 3 plants into flowering to determine sex and I am just awaiting signs of the females. Then I hope to take clones from them soon after......
