Can I Clone from a Flowering Plant?

[Delta.9]

I should've thought about doing this earlier but I can't change the past. I have a plant about 4 weeks into flowering and am curious if I clone it still? One of the lower branches isn't really flowering well but is still alive. I was curious if I try to clone it, would it revert back to vegetating and be able to grow well.

What does everyone think?

No its in the flowering stage now and you
need to take cutting in veg. stage so the
plants growing efforts will not be focused
on flowering, insted it will need this to start
a root system.

Well Delta,

Your options are keep growing it for another six weeks then revert or send back into vegatation now and start cloning in about two weeks.

Yes Delta you can take a clone from a flowering plant.. It may take a bit longer to root..

Use wilt spray and it will be fine.. don't use wilt spray and it will also be fine.. LOL

"Cuttings can be taken at any time in a plant's life-cycle, but those taken before the plant is flowering will root more easily. Larger branches sometimes exhibit white protuberances near the base of the stem. These are called adventitious roots. They appear under humid conditions, and grow readily into roots when placed in water or in various mediums. Cuttings from the lower branches, which contain less nitrogen and have a higher ratio of sugars, root somewhat faster than slips from the top of the plant, so it's wisest to take your cuttings from the bottom branches."

Knows I stand corected. I personaly have never took a cutting in
the flowering stage and have herd that they dont do well when in
the stage of flowering.

Thanks for all the advice. I will try cloning it tonight and will let you all know how it turns out.

Thanks!

This is some advice I got from another forum:

Yes you can take a clone from a flowering plant but it takes upto 4 weeks for it to revert back to veg and it is no worth it. But yes you can.

Is this true? The only reason I want to clone is cuz I don't want to wait to germinate and start from scratch with the summer solstice coming to an end. Gotta take advantage of the outdoor grow season now.

What should I do at this point?

I tried germinating the only remaining seeds I had that were from good batches but none of them wanted to take. I used the wet paper towel method in a plastic bag. All 4 were failures so at this point I don't know what to do.

4 weeks.. UMMMMMM ..

yeah, some times it can take 4 weeks to germinate a seed also..

lol
