#1 Can I take cuttings from a plant and then force it back into veg?

Second is I put 4 of my 17 plants into the flowering 6 days ago and 1 of them is showing what I think are the little white female hairs. Can a plant show sex that quick?

Thanks for all advice.

I will post pics as soon as I can if need be

Yes but it's better to get clones before you flower and label them so you know which is which

clone now! you still have time, but you need to clone as soon as possible for realy good results. otherwise, you'll have to wait until plant reverts back to veg (usually 4 weeks)

love, kp :p

to answer your sex question- yes, plants can show sex that quick. they 'preflower' which they can do even in veg stage.

Yes like Dutch said, depending on how long you vegged for, they can show pistils even before you go into flowering. If they are almost ready, then switching to flowering can show them almost immediatly.

Never take cuttings when the plants are into flowering. Your ok for the first week usually (although id avoid it if you can), but anything after that and your clones will take forever to root and stunt for quite a while (potentially a month!)

But what exactly do you mean by taking cuttings from a plant and the putting it back into veg. Is the plant into flowering? You can take clones from a plant that is in veg, and then continue to veg it. After the shock wears off, it will continue to grow. When you take cuttings, consider leaving atleast one node on the branch so that it will grow back.

I Should have said, Take cuttings and put them under a 24 hour light cycle. I had to move these plants to flower because they had grown so much more faster than the rest. They were already 2ft tall and the rest are 12 - 16 inches. Thanks for all the help. I will probably just take cuttings from the rest of the plants before I flower. I was just so happy to see a female so quick. Incedently it is the best and strongest growing plant but I willl have more in the future. Once again thanks for the assistance. I will try and get some pics up ASAP.
