Can i clone in flower?

[GetThisOrDie]

I have a lady that is about 5 weeks into flowering and I was wondering if I could clone her this late? I originally planned on harvesting her then trying to put her back into veg but if I can clone now that would make things easier and save me time.

Any advice would be appreciated!! thank you.

When it's flowering it's spending all of it's time on growing buds...not shoots and leaves. It's too late mate Cut them when their vegging :thumbsup:

you can but then they have to root them 3-4 week,,,, then they have to re-veg another 2 -3 weeks....Its alot harder to get buds to root because the stems are woody not soft like when in veg


Why dont you re-veg the entire plant.....when its done cut off all the top buds and leave some small inner lower branches and buds.... then change your light back to 24/7.... about 2 weeks later sticks/limbs will grow out of your buds......atleast you know you wont loose your strain this way

You can regenerate a plant after flowering my mate has done it.:hippy:

Yeah you sure can clone it. I just cloned some of mine and they were 5 weeks into flower. It took me 7-10 days to root them. They only thing is you have to wait a little longer to re veg because the nugs will still be on top and it takes them a while to grow shoots,.

Just keep them alive and have a little patience.

I have always wondered about this advice. I wonder if all (if not most) could successfully survive a reveg (as in provides healthy clones ect ect.) To me it seems that the plant might become unstable and throw off wacky clones. I'm not saying that happens with ALL strains, but I'm just saying is you might need a certain strain to successfully pull it off time and time again :thumbsup:


can anyone throw some insight into this?

hi guys

u can take a cutting from a flowering plant but itll take 3/4 weeks to take(not 7-10 days) as the plant must revert back to vegative growth before any shoots can grow.

and yes u can re-veg a plant after its flowering period but man it takes time like 5/6 weeks before there is any growth worth taking for a cutting....and do rememmber leave some bud on the plant as thats where the new growth comes from!

a cutting can root well before three to four weeks if it was taken from flower. it might take three to four weeks for it to show actually growth, but for all intents and purposes it's still a clone once it's rooted.

i've re-vegged a plant and it took no where close to five or six weeks to see new growth. once it's harvested, leave some of the foliage, feed with veg nutes and put back under 18/6 or 24/0.

i've re-vegged a plant with one or two leaves. they don't need buds to re-veg. not to mention a re-veg will grow into a thick, gnarly mess of green that is perfect for cloning. i mean if you put a plant back into veg there must be a reason, right?

well sorry to here that i got it wrong man i struggle to take cuttings from veg plants in 7- 10 days so if u can get a 5wk 12/12 plant to take in that time u must be really special lol i was just giving my experience man



also if u have re-vegged before u know that the first 3/4 inches of growth is very messy not good for cutting so u have to wait for gud plant matter to use!

if there is one thing ive learnt is that all of wot we are q each other about takes time!


peace and love

...can anyone throw some insight into this?

Sure I can...Check my signature for the Bonsai Re-veg thread.

I've never met a lady I couldn't re-veg, and have two of 'em going right now. Sativa doms can be tricky in my veg closet though, because of the lack undergrowth near the base of the plant, making it necessarily taller than I'd like. My 400w light only extends about 3 feet or so, causing the lowest foot or so to die-back a tad.

But not only are the re-veggers the top performers from my last grow, but the re-vegged ladies are sorta like giant, rooted clones, and they'll provide as many shoots as I could ever use. Since they are from a plant of known quality and favorable growth habits, (the best representation of the strain) there are no surprises down the line. Instructions are in the thread.

Shoots good enough for successful cloning within the month.

Any guesses what happens to a light-poisoned hermaphrodite after re-vegging? :jointsmile:
