Theoretically it is possible to clone a flowering plant probably best in the early stages of flowering, but the grow area would need to bee cool temperatures, you would need a little less light, perhaps under the canopy of other plants, and quite frankly it's just not going to happen even for an expert.
what are you talking about? he asked about using a t-5 for moms/clones. did i miss the part about flower?

the only reason to put a clone in veg is to let it get a good, solid root structure before flowering. you can clone a flowering plant no problem, not just theoretically. yes, the earlier in flower the easier, but it can happen just fine late if flower, it just might take longer to root.
