Hey guys I got a problem I think I have a mother plant outside that I get clones from but scince it almost the end of summer she started to flower I was hoping to get a least another batch of clones I was wondering if I can still clone some or is it to late shes been flowering for about aweek
I just took clones from my flowering mother and had no problems. 100% success. Give it a whirl, bud. EDIT: try taking cuttings from the bottom of the plant, or ones with little to no hairs
A cutting taken while the stock plant is flowering will need to be forced to revert back to a vegetative state under 24 hour light.
24 hour light for clones anyway (usually)... And for how long all depends on the plant. 2-3 weeks is a good rule of thumb
Well i flower right from clone in a SOG... So i do 2 or 3 weeks rooting on the clone, then right into 12/12 light cycle to flower
thats what I was thinking but isnt the genral rule if she switches from flower to veg you have to wait 6 weeks tiil you switch back to flower
[quote name='"frankadank"']thats what im planning to do but the other clones is what im asking about.[/quote] Well I was reading some BKS thread and she said she only takes flowering clones.
Never too late to take clones. If you want to re-veg, about 2-3 weeks under 24/7 lighting will do it. The 6 week thing isn't true. When they do re-veg, choose as many main branches as you need, then cut the rest. revegged clones shoot out loads of little branches... If you keep them all you'll just end up with a spindly mess. Choose your branches early and the plant can concentrate its energies on those. Clones need hardly any nutes til they get established.
