cloning a plant that was already or is still flowering?

[doco]

Whats really funny is that it even has trichome crystals on it!!

Heh yeah our clones got a couple tiny calyxes on them, with just a few trichs. It was pretty funny to see the confused little girls.

This clone came from a flowering plant of 52 days, and is about 48 days now itself...Still going back to veg, but all is well...

Sorry about the poor pic..

Here is the clone now, so it can be done...getting close to being done...even pollenated a bud, and got some seeds from her as well..

Go for it....its better than no clone at all. Just plan ahead and take them as early as possible in flower. It takes a long time and starts to look kinda weird but once its off it looks like a normal plant with normal growth. Heres a pic of mine that was taken in flower...its pretty old. Took 30-40 day to even start to convert to veg but it looks good and smells good too.:thumbsup:

dont put it back into vegging.. that will definitely fuck up your plants

You HAVE to put it back into vegging if you want anything out of it.

It will take up to a month to reveg and begin vertical growth.

I would not take clones of a flowering female past ~week 2 of flower. Week 3 is pushing it.

You get mold problems if there's a lot of bud mass on the slip.

I took clones 3 weeks into flower wit little buds on them, they only took 12 days to root but are slow reverting back to veg.

Another thing to think about is that your flowering ferts have high phosphorous in them, and you may be adding carbs too, which is actually a plus for prepping a healthy cloneable slip! I seriously give my mothers flower ferts the last feeding before cloning anyway, even in veg. P=roots. rOOts=wOOt.

I took my mother from a lot of 10 plants that were started from seed. They vegged for about five weeks, then after about 5-6 days of flowering the first female showed hairs. Being that this plant showed the most active growth, I removed it from the 400W HPS flowering room and put it in a closet under a 96W T5 floro lamp. It has been in there for about two weeks under 18/6 lighting. Should I worry about this plant going hermie from shock? How long should I expect it to take to revert back to veg so I can take good clones?

Also, this mother is still in the 2 gal pot that I added flowering nutes to for a week before turning back to 18/6, should I flush and/or transplant to a larger pot now that it is back on veg?
