Important Question on Clones.

Took some clones of my White Widow. I did it while they were flowering; about 2 weeks in. I waited so I knew which plants were female to clone. All the clones are healthy and growing. 16-18". I was gonna throw them into flower but the growth is still kinda weird, like it's still getting used to re-veg even though it's been like a month. Will clones flower alright if they are still having that weird re-veg growth? Should I keep waiting, will it start to grow normal again after a certain amount of time? Here's some pics:

How old/tall was the mother WW u cloned from? Cuz most plants will start to show sex usually before you kick'em into flower. If the mother was young/small when you switched i can understand why cuz it would've had much chance to show you its preflowers.

Issue i might be concerned about is sometimes you clones can go hermi on you if you switch back to veg. IMO if you're gonna clone durring flower you should just leave it to flower as well. But keep them going and see what happens, its not like going hermi is 100% but chances increase

Yea, if you clone after already in flower mode, it takes atleast 2 weeks revert back into full veg mode. So i would leave in veg mode for a few weeks untill they fully come back.

There are some good points made about revegging from a flowering clone. The biggest problem you will have if you put into flower too soon is weak branches and little buds. Allowing your plant to grow out of this stage, usually about 2 weeks or so will give you a bigger healthier plant and the end result will be a more lushous flower.
Good Luck
