I am having major regrets. I have a white widow that I have kept through cloning for about a year. I decided not to clone this time and flowered all the females. Now I realize it was a mistake I may never get one this good again.
The flowering plants are 1 week from harvest. What are the chances I can clone them and get them to root and adjust to veg?
Is it a lost cause?
Thanks
Probably to late to take a clone, I ususally give that thought up after 2-3 weeks into flowering, not 1 week from harvest.
You could try to harvest the bud material and re-veg the entire plant. It will take a long time but is possible.
Jorge Cervantes says it is possible, and I have seen/done it. Takes a lot long to root, but if you keep it healthy in its environment, it will work. Say, more like 20 days rather than 10-12 to root. The plant will stop the budding process and will revert back to vegging. there will just be a little bud on the end of it.

just re-veg like oldmac said! you can chop it down to basically nothing and get it to grow back in a thick ass bush!
the cloning this late might work, but why?
one of the two plants on the right in the first pic (i only re-vegged one of them, just not sure which one is was in the pic) turned into the bush you see in the next too. from that bush you can take as many clones as needed and then plop it into flower and have a nice harvest too!

clones will defiantely take a while to sprout roots after flowering so long... mine was only two weeks in though... it took about three weeks for the pic below.

Everything I post is a lie... Aastrandock
My fear in trying to root cuttings from a plant so far into flower is this.
The potential to have stem rot, increases as the lenght of time it takes to root. After 3-4 weeks of waiting for roots this problem really starts to kick in.
In revegging you already have an established root mass and even if it takes awhile to reveg that problem is taken out of the equation.
Taking another clone at about 5 weeks in, just to see...
