I've done quite a bit of experimenting with taking clones from younger plants.
Catching donor moms during flower mode only works (timely) IF you get her before she starts showing sex. Up
to maybe a week in flower is about the latest to take clones without having to wait another month+ while the plant
reverts back to veg mode. Most faster strains, like yours, can give up clones successfully after 4 weeks of age. Before
that and they are difficult to root.
Feminized seeds clone the same as any others. That is not a worry.
Off a mother plant? No when a mother plant is through donating clones you put her in the flower room, eh? Retired
clone moms are the best to grow out because the yield will be so good. When you cut off a branch to make a clone
2 branches grow out from the cut. So if you take a dozen clones freom a plant then flower her she will have at least
an extra dozen bud sites. More bud sites = more buds. Flowered clone moms yield more than their offspring.
Go for it and good luck.
BigSteve. nb: Cloning can be humbling at first. Beginning cloners should keep a log where you note every thing
you do with your clones. That way you can start to tweak your process and not keep repeating the same mistakes.
For instance - when I started cloning my success rate was about 10%. After adjusting a few things and writing my
changes down I was able to identify my mistakes and fix them. In my case I found my clone stems were staying too
wet and rotting before they could root.
