The OP is looking to take the best part of his plant and clone it so that only the bud grows and nothing else. The OP does not realize that the bud he is looking at is fruit. Bud like any other fruit or vegetable needs more then just the branch it's growing on. See how some of your leaves have no bud at all? The big ones are called fan leaves and they serve as a pump to get water and nutes up the length of the plant. Without fan leaves, your plant wont be big tall and healthy. That is an example of what it is I'm talking about. You wont be able to just clone the fruit.

Can you clone while in flowering? Yes, the plant can be cloned and if you were to maintain the same light schedule you would even find that the clone will produce some fruit as well. I did this experiment once and had the cutest little 3" tall plant I have ever grown. I wish I had taken pictures of it: I grew it in garage inside a 3" "u" shaped pvc 90 degree angle. I discovered that net cups will fit perfectly into 3" pvc pipe. So I filled it with water, no bubbler or anything. The roots grew down the pipe into terribly nasty ass water with dead bugs actually mingled into the roots...lol. Yet that little clone kept on producing trics. I guess it was getting whatever nutrients it needed from the leaves that started to fall off pretty quickly. I ended up with a tiny little Christmas tree covered in trics, but it worked. The lesson was even though you may be flowering, your not going to be flowering much, because the plant wont grow. It wont produce new roots or leaves in near the abundance needed to produce fruit. You need to grow the plants up, let them develop root systems and then start producing fruit.

One technique you could consider might be to maintain the plants from here on out. When you harvest, take only what you need and leave the rest. Then restart flowering again and instead of needing to grow new vegetation and roots, it will already have everything set to go. Most people find this system to be a pain in the ass though and would rather just grow new fresh plants each time instead of trying to keep the same ones for long periods of time.

Back to cloning: if you do take a clone during the flowering stage, just turn the lights back to 18/6 for that clone and within a week or so, it will begin to convert back to the veg cycle instead of the flower cycle.
Prodaytrader Reviewed by Prodaytrader on . Lets try this again...GOOD DAY!! Just realized that the links weren't working for the pictures, so I'll try this again. Any advice, comments are welcome. Also is their any way to clone this far into a plants life? Or can that only be done earlier on? Thanks again. Rating: 5
