Clone from 12/12 female?

i would like to know the answer to this also..

anyone have any actual experience with taking a cutting from a flowering plant and then reverting it back to the veg grow cycle?

 

Yes as long as it is not too far along but it doesn't always work it, youll be able to sex it before 12/12 by tha pre flowers tho or you can take a single clone and flower it while your plants are finishing up in tha vegetative stage

 

it can take a month or more for the plant to revert back to veg... don't do it. take your clones before you put them into veg and keep them separate so you will know which clones came from which plants. the ones that turn out to be males, throw away papa and his ball sack having babies. when a big one shows female flowers then you will know those clones are girls. taking a flowering clone stresses her, causes mutated leaves and can cause male flowers to pop up on a female.. .can be done though..

 

can just depend on the actual age of the plant aswell man

2 weeks to a month latest of 12/12, usually..

 

yeah man im doin outdoors and seein as 12/12 has already hit here i was just intersted as to whether i could take a few clones for indoors...

would be interesting to try

anyone ever had clones in constant 12/12?

 

You don't have to put it back into veg, search flowering clones; they grow fast and start budding and branching early. Small plants with high yeilds and many bud sites/branches.

This is not from personal experience but is from reading about flowering clones and what I would hypothetically plant to do.

 

i spoke from experience

 

thatguythat is correct that the clones will take longer to take root and go fully back into a vegging plant.

second pic is a plant reverted back to vegging... if you look close you see the original bud site

The Bishop, clone away my friend, the last pic is from clones taken outside from my early budding plants. be sure to spray your plant with some bug spray so you dont carry any critters inside.

 

thanks potbelly!

so whats best to do if i want the highest yeild from my clones;

should i bring em inside and just keep em at 12/12 or re vegg for a little while just to hold off the budding so the roots and plant have more time to develop?

 

ur clones need 24/0 or 18/6 light cycle to let them take root, ur looking at a week to 2 weeks. then transplant and let veg... i do not keep a calender for vegging but i wait till the clones are at least a foot tall, before putting flower room. with that said the older the clone the more it will produce.

 

thanks for the info mate

 

You can certainly take clones from a plant that is early in flowering. They will take a little longer to root (maybe 2 weeks) and some will probably die, so take more clones than you need. The success rate from clones taken in veg will usually be better than clones taken in flower. BUT there are advantages to taking flowering clones. The will make great mother plants. When you put them back under 24/0 they grow really bushy. Each pistil turns into a new branch. The clones I took from flowering mothers all have multiple top colas without ever being topped.

I don't recommend taking a flowering clone and putting it straight to 12/12. It can root and continue growing like that, but the yield will be tiny (like an 8th or less). Clones need at least a week or two after they show roots to grow a little and develop a root system. You'll be really disappointed if you root under 12/12.

 

thanks man

 

yup, I took four clones days before harvest two went into 24/0 veg room and two stayed in the flower room, the two that are in the veg room took about a month to switch back to veg and the two that were left in the flower room have only produced more calyx but have grown almost none height wise. But they have also have not turned to hermi's yet either. (which was my goal)
