Is it too late for clones?

My first plants, I turned the light cycle to 12/12 about 5 days ago. Would it be too late to take a few clones off and go back to 18/6 light?

I've read that clones can be taken at any point within the growth cycle and root quickly, but may require a month to revert back to vegetative growth. Those clones that are taken may also flower prematurely and are more susceptible to pest and disease attacks.

dodo you sure you didn't mean the flowering cycle??? if you took them in veg, why would it take them a month to start vegetative growth? LOL

Clones should start their life under 24/7 and be brought down to 18/6 when they have roots, at least thats what i saw in jorge cervantes grow dvd and have read on here, probably under the diy bubble cloner thread. I took my clones when they were 2wks into 12/12 and it was also before i had a ph pen and my 2yr old ph strips that were inacurate led me to believe my ph was alright. 7.2 is not alright for clones. haha. Most likely why i had weird, one leaf, and 3leafer clones. A week or so after my ph was around 5.9-6.2 my last clone taken in flowering, started growing normal 5 leaf fan leaves. I took my clones off the bottom branches where there were little to no flowering going on. I'd say go for it, you're clones might flower early but big deal :)

Turbo you are absolutely correct thank you for catching that for me! I too have been reading Mr. Cervantes books. As a matter of fact that is where I found the information I provided to Mr Biggins.

I'm curious to know more about the DYI Bubble cloner thread. I will try to find it so I can learn more about that technique as I have yet to master the art of cloning. If you could post a link to the thread it would be cool incase I don't find it. Also, since you've made some interesting remarks on light cycles would you mind making a reply to a thread I created in this forum? I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

Thanks again,

Anymore input?
