Clones From Flowering Plants?

[winstonwolf]

I know that, ideally, you'd want to take a clone from a plant that's in vegetative growth. Can I take clones from a plant that's close to harvest? Would that be detrimental to the quality of the clones?

Course you can winstonwolf, although the later in flowering you leave it, the lesser likelihood of success, in my honest opinion.

i've cloned of a flowering lady once and it worked, however, she was only 4 to 5 weeks in. I do still hold true to the beliefe that anything is possible under the right conditions. It may still work close to harvest but thur'll be more stress to the clone. you could end up with a hermie.. try look'n up regenerations after harvest, it'll take longer but when the lady comes to in veg again, you get all the healthy clones you want.
note: other then the first two statements, this is all speculation.

You just about summed it up there ishnish :aok:

I took a WW clone at ten weeks into flower. She is very happy and has soooo many branches, she will make a great mother. Just be patient with them late into flower. They take along to to revert back to the veg cycle. If you clink on the link in my sig you can see her when she finally started to get new growth. She looked dead but was far from it.

its better to have a clone from a healthy veging plant. but if its the only way to get a cut you want then it will just have to reveg. it will just take longer to come around. IMO it wont look like the original veging plant for some reason when you take clones off flowering plants they grow sideways as fast as they grow upward you can get some real bushy monsters

I Never Take Clones Until I Know That The Donor Is A Lady.why Clone Males.just Doesn't Make Sense To Me To Take Clones Until Ya Know What The Sex Of The Donor Is.i Have Taken Clones Right Before Harvest With No Problems.

i find it takes longer for the clones too take root if you take them in the budding stage,,,other then that i think its the same,,,,p,l,r

i've actually read on here some where that they root easier when taken in flowering due to the low nitrogen in flowering. im not sure if this is the case evertime but i have read it before. i've taken cuttings up to 5 weeks in but never any later to avoid stress to the donor plant that far into flowering.

i find they do root faster for me,when i take them in mid flower.

I think she took 7 days to root. Now she's a big girl.
