Do you have experience cloning? If you do it should work pretty much the same but just be careful of mold since the risk is greater. I have monster cropped and reveg'd mother plants. Basically the same effect either way. I like to cut the mother back at harvest and reveg her lower bud sites, I've found it's quicker than waiting for roots on clones just so they can reveg.

Yes, experience cloning. I pretty much know how I’ll do it, I think, but- do you trim off the early-flower or leave it? I’m of the science that the less damage the better, but I could also see it harboring mold.
I’ve had really great success using upturned wide-mouth jars for domes, but have my king-cloner running so may try there because of better airflow (no dome).

I leave it. The more bud sites you have the more branches you'll end up with on your reveg'd monster.

They take longer to root and slow growing, but when established will resume vigor. Bushes from heaven, you will clip so many shoots before flower, clone them. This clone took from Jan 1 didnt root for 2 plus weeks.

Yeah, they are all rooted and in soil inpint-size starter pots now. Doing well, just starting to come out of their clone-stupor, and growing sone now.

I find that they can take over a month to start revegging, sometimes 2 mos. Cant wait ti see bush l get outside doing this.

You are so correct in the “so many shoots before flower”. Filled my 30-spot cloner with branches from one I had “monster-cropped”, and it is still an incredibly bushy plant- definitely a production-scale growers dream, perhaps.
Also utilized LST (tomato cage; light-bending) and HST (fully crimped to 90dg angle stems, which grew more and more branches. It definitely causes growth spurts and branching once a “monster-cropped” clone re-vegetates.

Been growing a few up over this summer. 27 days in flower.
