    i have just flowered my plants they are about one week into flowering being a novice i have just noticed about cloneing and cuttings . now i have not taken any cuttings my question is if i put them 1 week old flowering plants back to 18 hours veg lighting will they change back and continue to veg instead of flower giveing me time to take cuttings:confused:

    yes your plant will revert back to veg if you put the lights on 18/6...but it will take a week or 2 for em to get growing again...and it wont be pretty...

    if you have a seperate light for veg you can still take clones now from the less developed lower branches....just put the cuttings into 18/6 and those that root will grow and veg while the mums are flowering....

    High squid! yeah what he said. Or if you dont have another light, keep them flowering and wait on the clones. I've always taken clones just before harvest due to no second light. the clones will root , its just that they grow funny for awile.Peace, TBug

    But if you go to 18/6, then to 12/12, then back to 18/6, then again to 12/12 you are likely to light stress your plants and make them go hermie. Is it worth it ???

    disagree, very low chance of hermieing them this early, however, unless you started with a clone or femmed seed, your best bet is to let them continue to flower that way you will be getting female clones. It sure would suck to go to all that troubleand expense of cloning and then have male plants!

    plus it will add another 3-4 weeks minimum to your grow....

    and lights and hermies...strain dependant...some strains dont need much to tip em...

    the trouble i have is that i started out with 15 plants now i have three mothers what are female why im deperate to take clones is i have room for 15 plants so im thinking to my self is worth flowering 3 plants or wait a couple of weeks to start veging on 18/6 and take then take enougth cuttings to fill the room but like you have been saying there my be a chance of gettingi hermes out of the clones due to the stress of the plants not sure what to do now?
