umm BULLSHIT i hate to be the one to break it to you since im new here but im not new to growing and yes it can be done and allot of people do it when selecting a mother plant after a grow and also allot of small timers in the seed biz and i also have done it myself there are a few other things that should be done to ensure that it grows back healthy which are:

1 trim back bhe buds and leave a small amount of leaves but as little of the budds as possible

2 trim the roots because when you cut away the vegitation the roots dont suck up as much water so the soil stays really moist longer and with all those roots that arent really doing anything laying in water they may beginn to rot

3 repot in fresh soil

4 dont flower right away leave them under atleast 18 hours of light a day

other things to know are

1 THE LEAVES ARE GOING TO LOOK WEIRD AND YES IT IS NORMAL

2its better to give it a couple weeks till it resumes its regular vegitive growth(normal looking leavs) then clone it

thats about it so i hope you didnt really kill it over some bad advise if you liked it

i know im new here but i know my shit. if you dont believe me check out some of my grows at hempcultivation.com
