Forcing seeds on rare strain

I have a Afghan Bullrider Kush plant, I'm curious if forcing it to produce seeds is worth it. I won't get this strain again for a insanely long time.

I asked this same question a little while back,
cloning is a great way as racer said,
or try looking into rodelization ( i don't think i spelt that right )

Well I've tried cloning like 10 times and everytime they just died, I bought Clonex and these root starter plugs and after a few days to a week no roots or it just wilts up and dies.

If I knew how to clone better I would have made some, also I think it's too late now, it's about 2-3 weeks from harvest so I figured I could somehow force it to seed.

seeds take a good 4 or so weeks to develop, so it might be a bit too late to try and get some beans from this grow..

it's never too late to clone, it just might take longer if it's heavily flowering ime..

g/l on saving the strain, it's one i wouldn't mind having myself..

oh yeah, you can always try and reveg it after you harvest it.. simply leave about 1/3 of the green on the plant, and put it back under 20 hours of light, and it a good bit you should start to see new vegetive growth on it.. might come in all funky at first as revegged plants are known to do this, but it'll turn out ok..

I might do that if I can't do cloning properly once more.

Any tips on how to clone properly? I dont have a ton of money to go get a Ezcloner or w/e I have a empty DWC set and a little bit of soil coming in and I have clonex and starter plugs.

Really want to save this strain I smoked it a few times before and its amazing and it yields insane

try the oldest method in the book, ok, two of them..

a.. cut the clone, run the razor up the stem, splitting it slightly and scraping away some of the outer wall of the clone.. stick into a glass of water.. change out the water daily to keep fresh and oxygenated.. i even put an air hose hooked to an old air pump into my water to help with the 02..
cut clone same as above, than put into your soil of choice, and under some light lighting, like cfls or a t5.. mist a couple of times a day.. :D

opps, forgot to mention that i dip fresh cut clones into clone powder first.. not sure if it really helps, but surely doesn't hurt..

I have Clonex gel gonna take the smallest branch at the end of flowering dip it in clonex, put into a rooter plug then water, mist, and sit it on the window and hope in a week it shows signs if not I lost the strain forever.
