I'm sure you can, but it will be a long process

It's better to air layer it at this stage to gain roots and then plant and reveg after root structure...cut cloning is extra difficult during flowering...IMO...g/l
I have found flowering branches are not any harder to clone then a vegging branch.
But it will take around twice as long to root, then about a month to revert back to veg fully.
Biggest thing is keeping the media you are rooting in at the right moisture level, with a longer rooting time rot is a big concern.
If you keep the media moist never wet they will do just fine, I use rapid rooters BTW.

Never tried, but I recently read in one of my books that you can, just make sure to cut off as much of the flower as possible. It should start to grow vegatatively (sure that'd a word) as long as it roots.

apparently other's have had better luck with cloning a flowering plant than I have. I've done it with four clones (two occasions two each) and have had mutants as results. The new growth gave me leaves that didn't even look like pot leaves, and were all distorted. I put the plants outside (they were just taking up room in my veg cab) and the plants never really recovered.
On the plus side, the clones did eventually grow a few viable branches, and I have good clones from that. It just took forever to get to that point.
I probably will not attempt to clone a flowering plant again.....I'll just buy more seeds.

I would NOT cut the flowers off, its just going to hinder the clone even more IMHO.
A cloned branch has enough to do to root and re-veg I dont see any reason cutting the flowers off would help.
All that is going to do is stress it more and give it that much more to repair on its self, you want the energy used to produce roots not repair its self.
Thats how the leaves look when a plant is re-vegging all mutated and odd looking.
Once its actually back in veg the leaves will start looking normal again, but it takes allot of time.
I can grow a seed to a finished plant in the time it takes to re-veg a plant.

If i cut one of. The lower ones and put in dirt with out clonex would it work im willng to try whats worste hav a gram bud from trying this plant very unique n small wish. Would of know would of cloned erarler was a bag seed it stayin under 20 inchs n whole thing a big bud crystals like crazy n reeks real nice

People do take clones during flowering. When I lived in the tropics, we got 12/12 all day all year and the only way to take clones was after they showed sex and stretched a bit, cause they didn't get too huge on 12/12 from seed either. That was usually 3-4 weeks into flowering. It works, no doubt. The idea however is that the deeper the plant is into flowering the more time it is gonna take to develop roots. It works, but is it worth it? Unless situations don't leave you with another option, I'd stick to taking clones shortly after (if not right when) they show sex.

If your determined to get clones id wait until after harvest and then re veg the whole plant, then take clones from it. I don't know if it would work from experience, but ive heard of people doing it. I'd do some research on it before trying this method. From what I understand reveging a clone taken during flower is difficult

5 weeks is pretty deep into bloom but it can be done. they are going to freak out for a long time I reckon. Be sure to look for a supple branch that is not as far along. Old woody branches ban be a bitch to clone
They root normally for me when taken in flower. But can take a month or 2 to get normal again. These were taken 3 weeks into flower
after 10 days in the cloner
then they look like this for a month or more. these have been revegging for 19 days.
eventually they will look like this again
