i've read a bunch that you can take clones somewhat safely until about 3 weeks int0 flower. this is a general guidline and by no means a rule! be aware that this could cause your ladie to hermie!

with that being said i just took 4 cuttings off a ladie that is ~ 3 weeks into flower and have seen no negative effects.

and yes, taking those cuttings and letting them root (~2 weeks) and then putting into flower is a method, started in the netherlands, called sea-of-green (SOG). this gives your a perpetual harvest of many smaller plants.

i'm not saying that you couldn't get those clones to root and finish flowering, but it might not work well, if at all. you'd be better off taking your cuttings and putting them under less light (further than you would normally keep them from the plant as well). clones often require high humidity to sucessfully root.

give it a shot though and let us know your results. better yet, do a couple of each and see which works better. and don't forget to share those results!

headshake Reviewed by headshake on . Cloning question I'm a first time grower, using the cfl closet grow method. I just sexed one plant as male and i'm hopiong the other becomes female. They are about 2 weeks into flowering. Now I understand the basic concept of cloning, the cut made on one of the lower nodes, but I had some questions. 1) can these clones be preserved somehow and for how long? 2) can i clone my plant once i find out if she is definitely female? 3)Will i need a seperate room to put the clone in under 18/6?
