cloning while flowering?

[moody420]

Is it still possible to clone the plants I have even if they are already in flowering cycle? Or do i have to start with all new clones? any help or advice is much appreciated! :jointsmile:

plants as they will not work. The flowering hormones will not promote root growth.

I've heard you might be able to get it to go back to veg state by lengthing the amount of light again. Let me know if this works.

Any later than 3 weeks into flowering and cutting anything that significant off of the plant is ill advised.

1.) It stresses the plant stunting growth and potentially causing hermie
2.) The clones will be very late into flowering and will present issues going through the reveg state
3.) once rootings are cut dip and have a layer of exposed cambium then they can be dipped in a rooting hormone (Gel or Powder) and then stuck directly into a 50/50 mix of vermiculite and perlite under 24 hours of a very soft and gentle light (one low wattage flourescent)

Hope this helps,

YES you can.!!!


look for growth that is not getting as much light as that at the top..branches growing from nodes at the bottom or deep in the plant. I guess these may or may not exist depending on the grow style you use. Basically, you're looking for stems that don't have pistils yet. (according to the book, this is key)

Yesterday, I cut clones without pistils from plants in day 13 of flowering. Had no problems finding a good amount of branches, however; I was careful not to take off too much..

good luck and happy growin!

You can do it but success rate will be very low and it will take forever since clone will have to revert from bloom to vegetative growth.

100% success rate here.

Shake,

What's your personal method of cloning?

Just curious

i don't have a personal method per se. i had a plant in flower (3-4 weeks) and decided to clone it. i took four cuttings. the cuttings were about 5-6". i scraped about an inch of the epidermis, dipped in superthrive and plopped them into cups of potting soil (that's pre-ferted). i used no humidity dome and didn't mist them at all. 100% success rate.

i'm not condoning this method, i'm simply saying it worked. yes, i agree that there are optimum conditions for the success of cloning, but at the same time it's not required. it's really my only experience with cloning.

I've seen 6 week flowers cloned. It did take a month and a half to show roots..... But it did work. Only do this as a last resort IMO. :thumbsup:
