Clones that has been cut 10 days into bloom

I was given a tray of very good and healthy clones with the nice set of roots.
The only thing that somewhat abnormal about them is that they has been cut from the plants that has been switched to bloom. They visually have pistels sticking out.

My question to those who had this experience, will those clones grow vegge as they should and will they be able to produce a new set of clones that will not have pictels on th.

I often take clones from flowering plants that I make into mother plants. You will always see preflowers on the clones because the plant is sexually mature. The clones will react normally to veg/flower cycles. Best of luck.

They will return to normal growth with time.
I have rooted clones from a strain four weeks into flowering before to save it.
Patience and hydrogen peroxide were both helpful in my experience.

It depends on how far in they were in their flowering progress. I take cuts from flowering plants all the time but I try not to go past 1 week, after that if the buds have started to form too much the clones will veg out all retarded because they will be revegging buds, the plants they grow into will grow out retarded too. You will have to veg out the original for a while, then take a cut off of that before you see normal growing plants again.

Also it depends on the light. Had some clones token before flower - and 8 days in flower - same motherplant.
Vegged them under LST 20/4 in same conditions, same speed building roots, but after a while, about 4 weeks rooted, the ones I cut 8 days in flower reduced leaffingers down to one and it seemed, that they wanna go back to flower, while the other clones still grew normal.
When I put them under 400W 20/4 the normal growth came back in about 10 days. In flower I can tell that I saw any difference.

They sometimes take some time to recover, if its only 1 week in probably not more than a few days.
They might have extra branching, known as monster-cropping.

They act pretty much the same as clones taken in veg.
 
Some people take clones 21 days into flower I believe it's called (monstercropping) their is a ..thread.. on this somewhere here. ...so you will be fine. .and yes me being one of those people and I've noticed that branching is crazy taken from a plant that late into flower
 
Your clones with partial flowers will eventually turn into normal looking plants. It takes an extra 2-3 weeks longer in veg usually for them to start looking normal though. I've seen some clones that eventually snap out of it, look like its starting over from seed. It started with one bladed leaves and eventually got back up to 3 bladed and so on. So be prepared for all sorts of weirdness for a while, as its trying to sort out what stage in life it should be at.

I have taken clones from bottom branches of plants that where finisshed with flowering and they still rooted.

Because of the reveg they will get nice and bushy in no time

I had a buddy pass me a cutting from a plant about 10-14 days in. I got it to root but it took about 2 months before I could get normal new growth from it to re clone. take your time and don't overwater.

I have read that some like to turn the lighting to 24/7 for a while to zap them back into veg mode. I notice i get less pistills when i turn lights from 18/6 to 20/4. my grape krush that is solid purple does some weird shit since now that i think about it i saved her by cutting clones out the flower room.

ivtokerr, I did that for a while but I rather go 20/4 or even 22/2 to give the plants some dark time. That way they grow quicker, even if they don't revert as quickly to veg.

You will see some crazy looking leaves and thick dense vegetation like you never have before. I have a buddy that will harvest then veg his shit again and it looks crazy. I dont recommend doing it because hes a dirtball and doesn't like to spend money...but it does work.
