lol did you guys notice this thread got bumped exactly one year to the DAY after it was abandoned?

People DO, however, take clones from flowering plants. This is not only possible, but many growers (old timers especially) swear by the method. The thing to remember is that as the plant makes the hormonal switch from veg to flower, its undifferentiated cells are going, 'oh hey whagt am i going to be? a leaf? a flower? a ROOT?' rooting is often much faster and in days wehn fancyass rooting hormones weren't readily available, it was a GREAT way to improve success rates.

Don't tell anyone... but I personally clone from flowering plants on a pretty regular basis....
