No, cuttings need 100% humidity for the first 3 days, and much weaker light than usually used to flower. Even if you took them out of a propagation chamber after 3 days, and saw no roots yet, i still think it would fail. A plant should be stress free when flowering also, even if you succeeded it would be highly stressed wich could result in hermaphroditic traits coming through.

OK thanks, I'll wait until I see roots then!

I hear you can do this with stretchy plants but not shorter plants,for there wont be much yield.

the only reason i flower clones is to pre sex the plant.
i just built a machine for cheap that will out do most aeroponic spray cloners.let me get the details worked out and ill start a thread....PEACE

theoretically, if you were to have a clone with a well developed root system, and you just transplanted.. how long would you wait to try and put in a 12/12?

you have to root your clones but yes you can put ROOTED clones straight in to flower inspite of size. the mother should be atleast 8weeks old but, if your taking cuttings off a flowering plant they will root quicker but, need to be reverted back into veg to start the flowering cycle again.
if your putting or have put your mother into flower i'd suggest totally removing the first 15cm's of lower branches and nip off the top calyx. this makes the plant bush rite out instead of been spindly and stretching resulting in better yeild. let me know how you get on, peace out

If youre using clones there is no reason to presex your plant. Your clone should have came from another female.
