so i accidently hit one of my lights out of its socket, and it fell on my plant and knocked 3 of it's branches clean off =[

the plant is about 3 weeks into flowering, and just showed sex about a week ago..

can i clone the branches? if so how should i go about it since theyre already flowering?

Clone as you would normally. cut it at a 45 degree angle and dip in some cloning gel.....then put in rockwell or whatever, under dome and then 18 or 24 hours of light. Flowering cuttings can sometimes take longer to root although some have disagreed with me on this, however its always taken me longer.
You could also try taping (bandaid) it back on to where the break was and see if it will heal, if its done right away....sometimes that works better.

im not sure that the bandaid method would work, they broke right at the end off of the main stem..

mate just put a clean cut across the bottom and you should be fine always worth a shot ive tried bandaiding method a few times but not for a 100 percent break usualy if it is around 50 50 off just cut it at an angle across the bottom dip it in rooting hormone preferably gel and throw it in rockwool or some coco or soil damp under your propogator or if your going for a cheap method throw it in a clear plastic box with a pice of cling film over just use a small a pot as you can lit an inch squared and wait till the roots are hanging niceley off the bottom of the medium also make sure to keep it moist in the tub and spray the leaves too i think it helps sometimes it has taken me like 3 weeks till i got roots on flowering clones so be patient get a nice dab of rooting hormone on it and when you insert it into the medium make a lill whole as you dont want to push the hormone off the stem you want it to stay nice and coated also if it is around 4 nodes high cut the bottom node off and try and plant it with that node covered and you will produce more stronger roots and cut the stem round a cm below the bottom node you trimmed off
