I intend, when my 8 plants are 4 weeks old, to take 1 or 2 cuttings of each. Then after 1 week, when I'm certain that the clones are taking hold, I will flower my 8 well established plants.

I figure that the clones will be capable of functioning as mothers after 1 month, allowing me to take new clones that will be ready for flowering right around the time those other babies are finishing up... Does that all make sense to everyone? Hope so.

The point is... it seems more logical to keep the well established plants as mothers, but I could potentially cut time till harvest down by 1 month by flowering the already established plants and letting the clones establish their maternal role in the meantime.

Anyone else tried this or have any reason to believe it would not be a worthwhile idea. I have 1 week before I attempt this. 2 weeks before I am irreversibly underway with the plan. So please supply feedback!
