yes you can clone a flowering female that is 4+weeks into flowering.. but.. the real question is.. WHY? After 2-4 weeks into flowering the plant is committed to flowering; cloning from that point on will get you a clone that is stuck in the flowering phase. You CANNOT revert it to the vegetative stage at this point (even with 24 hours light)...

And don't get too technical about it.. yeah maybe you could revive your baby clone after flowering is complete for another go-around, but I seriously doubt it with how much energy the plant would need to do that.

All in all.. not a great idea, but yeah you could do it.

no no no. what a load of shit.

btw, nice job on the clones. i always have trouble with them. when is the ideal time to take them during flower? i havent nailed that down yet. logic would say as soon as sex is revealed but i dont know if that is ideal. i dont have enough area to keep a mother. if i did, i would go that route instead of snagging a clone when sex is shown. help here would be appreciated

Sure jeff.....ive been away for a while...damn new job, but i get paid alot more so i could care less...lol
I took the clones late in the flowering stage....like around 40 days into flowering...I took the bottom branches that didnt have much of any flower on them. The best time is two weeks after signs of sex, earlier is better if you can judge...you want a nice bottom woody branch...You can clone the tops and bottom branches too also..

i was wondering are there any picture threads on here that demonstrate each step? I mean it seems simple enough....cut some lower branches at an angle under water...then dip in cloning solution then plant as normal? roots develop and then bam you got a vegetative clone thats genetic makeup is the same as momma. am i missing something? I know that you have to do it early or you won't be able to revert back to veg growth but this seems like the most efficient way to grow. does everyone do this? lolol!

here is a good vid on how to clone

That's pretty much how you do it. It can be as simple as throwing a cutting straight into the dirt with no rooting gel or anything.

The biggest thing I've found for being successful with taking clones is to use a new blade each time I cut. On ebay I bought a 100 box of surgical scalpel blades (just the blades alone) all individually sealed, and open a new one for every cutting I take. I get roots in less than a week.

You can take a clone any time, and you can revert a clone from flowering back to veg, it just takes a a really long time. You can also take a cutting from a woody part of the stem but this takes longer to root. Fresh young shoots make the best cuttings.

One of the coolest things that ever happened, was I had just sprouted some seeds. So imagine one seedling, less than a week old, just with it's first pair of leaves. I accidentally knocked it and broke it fresh off it's stem. I just stuck it straight back into the dirt and surprise, surprise it rooted.

They don't call it weed for nothing. It a really hardy plant.

wow msmilfweed ur the shit!@ Thats so awesome!

Thank you for the information. This is very useful will definitely give it a try.
