Will taking clones from 3 foot mother in veg before putting on 12/12 reduce yield?

Hi,

I have a 3 foot deathstar and as soon as my 810 watt led light gets here (which is 2-3 days), I plan on putting it through a flowering cycle while I keep vegging some smaller plants I have growing. My question is: do I take clones first before flowering or will that reduce the yield. I have attached a picture of it to give you a better idea....it SEEMS like there are plenty of nodes and cuttings I could take which might even be beneficial for the plants because it looks like it needs pruning anyways. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Here's the top of the plant:



Here's the mid/side section:



Lots of little offshoot nodes with leaves i suppose...

Yeah it should be fine,they put out a lot new growth in the first couple weeks of flower anyways. Just dont pare it down to nothing

I dont see a pic,if you attached one it didnt make it

Not only is it OK to do so,
It's the BEST TIME to take cuttings.

Take cuttings from a vegging donor JUST BEFORE flipping on to FLOWER.

At the moment I have 9 plants on DAY 29 of FLOWER
and 24 Small Veg plants that were clipped as cutting (and put into rooting sponges) 30 days ago.

I took them off my 9 plants the day before I switched from VEG to FLOWER.
There's no better timing for it.

Yes sorry I forgot pics, they should be attached now.

Those pictures are like flashbacks to an early Pink Floyd gig.
Are you trying to melt my melon, man???

LOL sorry it was my first time taking pics and I was in a hurry to get them up. I'll turn off the LEDs next time..
