OK so tell me what you would do in my situation
Looking for a cloning guru to see if I'm on the right track

taking clones when the plant is about half way thru flowering is monster cropping, don't take too many to minimize the stress. It'll take 'em an extra week or two to root up since they have to revert back to the veg state but once they do the growth is explosive. The only reason I know any of this is cause I've done it more than once with no issues
I don't really understand what your situation is.

Thanks Hillbilly..Im looking at taking just 3 or 4 and right now the plant is 2 weeks into 12/12. I have lots of time for it to root so if it takes an extra week or 2 so be it

If you want...read my first post when I started this thread so I don't have to go thru this all again. Its pretty simple actually
Yeah I was the first person to tell you to take clones during veg and you argued. Then everyone else said the same thing.

I'd probably take 'em about 4 weeks into flowering and by the time you chop the girls in flower they should be rooted up

LOL I didnt argue...just told you the situation and now Ive gotten plenty of ideas from plenty of people who take clones during flowering (Thanks Guys!) So go argue with them if you want..everything in life isn't cut and dry, deadgro and I think most people on here agree with that and sometimes ya have to think "outside the box". But thanks for your input anyway

Thanks jarvild..appreciate your posts
We all make mistakes when we first start out. But there's a right and a wrong way. You'll learn.

Yes we all make mistakes and since you've been a member here for a whopping 3 weeks, I guess you'll learn too

I find the loss of vigor happens if you take clones from unhappy plants. If you take a clone from a aggressive growing plant there is little if any loss of vigor. That's why I no longer keep my mothers over 6 months before I replace them with the most vigorous Clone.

I have large purpetual grow, i do a 120 EZ cloner every week and empty one every week been doing this for so long its a job now granted a job most of you would die for its a job. White nubs in 7 ponytails in 14 clones in flower if its the only way but to carry on but easyer to take the day of change and take a few more than you need only the strong survive if it struggles there it will always struggle so always take more than you need![IMG_1390[1].jpg](/data/attachments/2458/2458588-352a7d7ec301f74e36a53e563529afb3.jpg)
