as for how many... it depends on the size of the plant, but for every clone you take you are also going to reduce the yield of your plant since you are removing bud sites every time.
ACTUALLY You can (not saying it will) increase your yield of your plant from taking cuttings. Considering a lot of times some light can't always reach the WHOLE canopy, you take cuttings from them, then that way you will have all the energy going into the other bud sites. That way you end up with denser buds as to little more "fluffy" buds. I'm not saying in any way though that this always work by doing that. I'm just saying that there is a possibility that you can increase yields on a plant that has had cuttings taken from them. Plus, if you take the cuttings, root them into clones, then put them in your grow room at the same time you flower your other plants, then that clone will more than likely get more weight on it, then having been at the bottom of the canopy with minimal light.

Sorry if that sounds confusing, I'm :stoned: and was in a hurry to type it so I can go back and get :stoned: before bed. Happy Smoking!

P.S. When you take a branch from the plant it's called a cutting and then when it is rooted, it is called a clone. Never a clone right off the plant without have being rooted.
