I already have planned to clone the big bitch.

which brings me to my next question, there are two branches i was planning to use for the clones...
but my girl is about a week into 12/12 and she's preflowering like mad.... soon to start flowering in a weeks time for sure....

am i to late to take a clone? it'd be better to clone while still in the veg. stage wouldn't it?

i'm thinking about possibley double harvesting rather than cloning.. it'll be easier and cost effective, if i were to take a clone now, i'd have limited lighting for it which would be a set back, not to mention i've been pruning certain fan leaves to open the lower branches, i don't wanna shock her she might get grumpy... i'd like to clone properly, and when i'm ready... that... and i just haven't read enough about it yet
