Clones from Flowering, strait into to Flowering.

Is it possible? and is it worth it.

I was thinking of taking some clones off my flowing plants a couple of weeks before harvest, rooting them under 12/12 and putting them strait into flower SOG.

Is this possible and is it worth it?

The alternative is taking them during earlier flowering and reverting them back to veg for a couple of weeks. But would that stress them.

Or I could take a couple just before flowering grow them for 6 weeks and then cut them up into many more clones.

I was also wondering about yield and numbers. Say I have 600HPS and 1m x 1m space?

Thanks any info on this is much appreciated.

PS, I'm growing a mother but it wont be ready in time for next crop.

From what I have read, you can take a clone and revert into the veg state. However, I have not tried this myself, so I suppose this is hearsay. ... unless someone has something else to add?

i do... i have just recently taken 16 clones from 4 plants that were in flowering for no more than a week.....
i have also taken 8 clones from the very same plants just 2 weeks before i introduced them to flowering...

the 16 clones taken from the flowering plants started to show sex and have not done much as far as root development ( and its been about 15 days!!! )
whereas the clones i took from the same plants 2 weeks before switching to 12/12 took off immediately and have been growing crazy..

so in short .. taking clones from flowering plants is very prolonged

Yeah, I took clones off plants that were about 10 days into flower. It took like a month to get them back to veg state. It is slow but it will happen. The bud will 'unravel' and go to veg state again.

you need a few more moms..take cuttings root them and then veg for 2 weeks. they will then be ready for your flower room. this may take some time getting your times down, but in the long run you will be harvesting 5-10 plants every 3-4 weeks..if you get good every 2 weeks...

sorry for the hijack, but can someone explain the point of a mother plant, and how one achieves this? Is it just a plant that you know is a female and you keep it in vegetative phase for ever? If this is the case, how do you keep it from getting huge? Do you chop it every few weeks?

It's absolutely possible! I took 12 clones off a few plants that were 6.5 weeks into flowing. They all had a pretty good amount of nugget on them, which I pinched off when I put them in rock wool. It took around 3 weeks for them to revert to veg, and I took the 4 that looked the best for my next grow.

Here's a picture of one that I've been 'low stress training' and a nugget from the finish product!

The point of a mother plant is to beable to reproduce the same clones and grow the same plants, all the time.
