you continue to amaze me....i didnt know you could clone during flowering:confused:.....how long into flowering did you take those cuttings??
Click to expand...
ya, as long as the plant is alive U can clone it. no matter if its in veg or flowering. only difference is when its in veg it will root faster, but if ur patient enough to wait a lil longer for it to root then U can clone in flowering.

those were the bottom buds of the bubblicious plant. she was 4 1/2 weeks into flowering.


the clones below are from my older journal.

the yellow bud in the pic below was taken 11 weeks into flowering, and it rooted in 21 days. U can see new growth coming out of the top of it.



everything else in that pic was taken off a plant I had re-vegged. they rooted in 10 days.

Thanks for that, I checked out her roots and sure enough she was getting close to being root bound even AFTER I trimmed away a massive amount at the begining of this journal.

I ended up trimming away about half of the rootball and I put her into a smaller container.




I didnt cut anything else off of her tho, but at this point Ive trimmed about 10-12 clones off of her (alll except the 'yellow-bud one', thats from the other plant that I was growing. Say Hello to plant D. I took that clone about 11 weeks into flowering, and Im both glad and suprised I got it to root.)



11 weeks flowering...

oh my god...i guess you can only learn from experience...iv read threads where they say you cant clone while in flowering...im am so glad you shared that info with me spittin...i might take a few cuttings from the bottom and experiment a little:peace:

so the clone will grow into one big cola??
Click to expand...
if U put it under 12/12 right after it roots, then yes it will turn into one giant cola.

but I plan on vegging (24/0) these ladies for at least a month before I put them in flower (12/12). by that time they'll be normal looking plants.

it sounds crazy but ive done this a few times before with only one failure.

even if it was a sativa clone, she shouldnt do much branching outward if the mother was a pretty mature plant and old enough to start flowering at the time of cutting

yr case is different tho. Ur clones were much larger than mine at from the start. I guess its since I cut the bottom buds off and rooted them.

Sorry if you have already answered this, but what is the reason for taking cuttings when they are in flower? Are they more stable then one taken during veg?

Hello, like your journal. I have a question, I have read in the past that with each budding the thc content of the plant goes down. It was in the subject of revegging then rebudding a plant after harvesting. Since you have taken cuttings from an already budding plant, then rooting them, do you think the thc would be affected?

naa its cool. in my experience I havent seen a difference in stability from clones taken in flowering vs. clones taken in veg.

I did it this time bcuz I wanted to speed up this breeding process Im going thru.

By taking clones in flower I can breed easier bcuz the clones already have pistols. all i have to do is add pollen. the seeds will continue to grow on the clones while the are vegging. then once the seeds are ready I can either put em in flower or keep em as mothers.

Usually when U breed U should keep in-breeding a strain to keep the good genetics alive. this could take as long as an entire year when U grow generation after generation but by having clones with pistols I can cut that down to less than 6 months and I will have created my own ultimate strain.

link number 3 in my sig will take U to my Re-veg Journal I finished a yr ago.

I revegged a plant, took about 25 clones from it and flowered them. half were outdoor, half were indoor. the inside ones finished a lot faster than the mother and the ones outside. each clone from the revegged mother came out better than the mother simply bcuz I knew more about the plant, and how to take care of that strain better.

In order of potency -
Outdoor>>Indoor>>Mother

so to answer Ur question, No. The THC production is encoded in the DNA. If the mother was stable and potent, every single cutting from her will have the exact same genetics and will produce the same potency, no matter if u take the cutting in veg, flower or reveg... unless U alter the growing conditions and the care U give the plants.
