Funny Story! (and a couple of questions)

So, me and the wife put our four plants into flower, 11:00pm light to 11:00am. Opening and closing the light curtain every day. Fourteen days later they all finally showed sex, three females and one male. However they all looked kinda sad. I chopped the male and a couple days later I finally got my 400W HPS ballast kit (been using a 100W). When I went to hook up the new ballast kit I found out that wife had put the EXAUST FAN on the timer and those poor plants have been on bloom nutes under 24hr hps for sixteen days.

I have a second crop coming along averaging about 12in tall so I put those in under the 400w HPS 12/12 and the first three plants under the 400W MH 18/12 to use for mothers.

Questions are:

Before taking any cuttings should I let these three girls recover from the bloom nutes?

Should I flush or just water a couple of times before going back to veg formula?

Or should this have hurt them at all?

Bloom nutes are just different amounts of the same nutes, so don't worry about it. The bigger question is how many days they were actually under 12/12 and how many days they were 24/0, and in what sequence.

They were never in 12/12, several weeks in18/6 then 16 days in 24/0 before I realized it. lol...

Oh, they should be ok then. Go ahead and take cuttings like normal, flush the system when you're done with that, reset the whole system, set your lights, and you're off. Good luck.

Actually the plants should be in a perfect condition for cloning. Dropping the nitrogen content will help with cloning as the nitrogen impedes early root development. This is what you have inadvertenly done. VV
