I have my best success with clones taken just at the point of flowering. You might want to take a couple from those little bottom branches that never produce much anyway. Clones give you something else to play with while you are waiting for harvest. You just need a tiny area (box, drawer, rubbermaid tub, etc) going 24/7 to get them rooted and back in veg. Just a suggestion. - Granny:hippy:
