?Preflower cloning/yeild

i planted before summer this year and plants went into preflowering. im happy i got to pull the males but i heard that when people do what i did, their plants have a low yeild because they put so much energy into going back and forth from flowering. Does anyone know how much it will hurt the yeild? Im planning to clone the girls I got when/if they switch back to veg (but if they are clones of the preflowerers, they will have a low yeild already not to mention the extra stress from cloning?)
If anyone has any experience with any of this id really like to know more of what to expect or whether i shouldnt even bother cloning the preflowering females

Aloha,

It would all depend on how far north you grow at. I prefer regrows, But I have a long enough time to get my first harvest in, cut them back, and leave bottom branches to go long and pull a second large harvest in October.

It does take time to go from flower to vege. If you live with a short growing season I would not recomend doing this.

As for clones from regrows, once the plant is back in vege mode, they will yield the same as any branch clone.

Here is a before/after of one of this years regrow. I harvested 2 ozs off the top and the three branches I left behind will yield lowball a lb come October.

Well if you see what Rusty and aole is getting and ya got about 5 months growing time, i would not touch them. All my buds i left on my plants that came from indoor grow, which is out now is really growing well. Great branch growth from the buds and im hoping it gets to be a big bush. I have never tried this before, but from what iv seen before on line was incredible. But, they were able to re veg from the outdoors, which already root growth is established. I think if you have the time your plant will re veg and continue its growth into bud with harvest yield as big if not bigger then your expatiations.

If you have 2 months for re veg, shouldn't you have 12 weeks to get er done. Flowered and finish i believe in 5 months. How long ya been using the re veg aloe? Because like i said, never done it before, but given that time, im thinking it would be more growth from the flowers. So, more branches, more ability to grow buds. Small to mid range in size, but yield as high if not bigger? I guess if you think it wouldn't turn around at least in two months, then there wouldn't be enough time. I wish Rusty would pop by, he has the re veg down great and is where i learned what to do to get mine out for re veg.

I would take advantage of it, but im really new to this so ya might get a few opinions:thumbsup: Good luck tho man and id luv to see how she turns out.
