this is great....came on here to see about taking clones from flowerings and this is the thread that popped up!

967 said 5 wks in....what about taking farther into flower on 12/12? same rules apply?

im in a similar semi-fuckular situation. popping beans left/right into 12/12 just to get balls rolling while putting some fem seeds into veg cab and flowering ..... but when i see a reg seed putting out desirable traits.....like now with some skunkman freebies i crossed with ak47 from 5 years ago.... i want to keep it going.

so, take from low parts....i'll use jiffy pellets....have patience....that covers it yah?

Not sure how far into flowering you can take clones successfully but i have had success taking some emergency cuts around week 4-5 of 12/12. Not ideal but needs must.

If your cuts fail to root for any reason, then you can always reveg your plant after harvest. Just make sure you leave a few small lower branches with fan leaves, give it a root prune and sit tight for about 5-6 weeks on 18/6 light schedule and after your first initial funky growth patterns your new plant will start generating normal growth.

Peace.

Yea u can take clones later than 5 weeks,just takes a little longer,and clones with a flower on top are no probs too,ur new growth will pop out the top of the flower when shes rooted and reverted.76

Just might mean a couple or few extra weeks vegging which I could do without...

You are on the right track when you refused to grow longer in a vegetive state; you should take your good idea and cut the time even further. I used mothers, put clones in a plastic green house, then took them out of the humidity controlled environment and put them under a 150 watt fluorescent bulb just a little bit ------ then straight into the full sun. This allowed me to control the height of the plant and did not force me to have to use high watt bulbs (I used 400w), and did not have to use screens for control. Timing is important. Skipping the vegetive state also lets you skip most the skunk smell too.
