I want to make clones! :)

I have just started growing this season and I am loving the whole process!! I am wondering how do I make clones? My plants are fairly close to harvest time.

you need a plant in full growth to take cuttings. do you have an indoor grow or the means to create one#?

I've tried a few different methods to propagate cuttings(bubblers, misters) and I've had the best results just using 1.5x1.5 rockwool cubes.
I usually grow hydro, so I take the cutting and dip it a bit of honey and coat that with a bit of rooting hormone.
The cubes are pre-soaked in nutrient solution and the cutting in just inserted into the cube and placed in a tray in my mother tent.
Usually takes 7-10 days(temps over 70 degF helps) and it has been 100% successful.

Your plants look nice but I’d hold off on the harvest — you gotta figure your volume will decrease by about 50 percent when they dry. What looks like a nice fat bud will look disappointing when dry oftentimes. (I’ve learned this firsthand.)

As for taking clones, I have heard it’s tougher if not impossible from a plant in flower. Never tried myself so I don’t know. I make clones in the vegetative stage and try to pick the nicest branches.

Then I stick them in some rooting hormone and into quality potting soil, put them in a greenhouse type environment that can be achieved with a humidity dome. But my wife has used clear plastic cups, so whatever works.

Mist the cuttings but then over the course of a couple weeks let them get accustomed to the air so they send out roots. That’s the tricky part and is more art than science in my experience.

But if you take more cuttings than you need, usually at least some will take. Good luck!

Easy step by step with pictures. Reveg from flower is a bit trickier. But not much. Have one from 6 weeks in. Check it out. Ask if needed. Good luck.

You can usually clone plants that have been in flower 2-3 weeks. Yours look like they are further than that. Check into "re-vegging".

Best bet is to re-veg them after harvest and then take cuts. Taking a cutting off a flowering plant might result in some weird ass plants, not to mention it will be harder to get them to root. You'll have to find a way to increase the light cycle obviously, so bring them inside and get them back under 18/6

My grow is currently outdoor but I do have the means.
