It would be better to leave a light on the plant 24 hours aday to change the entire plant over to vegetative mode. Once the plant starts growing new branches in 10 - 15 days, take cuttings.The bud which is growing will still mature on a vegetative plant the same.
I have taken cuttings from a flowering plant when I lost all my clones. You're right it takes a bit longer it took me three weeks. But once it goes, it becomes a fucking bush. give it a try it worked great for me just takes a little longer.
