clones taken in flower make great mother plants imo they produce more a very high amount of clones after around 7 weeks .It makes sense to me to see the mother in action before i clone her, ive taken clones from 1 week 12/12 right up to 6 weeks 12/12 and had exellent results .you can get roots in around 14 days but the revegging can take a bit longer but well worth the wait for the required mum and the required results from its clones at least you know what you are getting at the end.
heres an old pic of a white widow clone i took for a mother from a plant late in flower actually had the formed bud on it as you can see it produces stems from every calux be safe all. and these clones will make great mums i can assure you off that mate the postman
