I usually like to let my plants veg for at least 6 weeks to 2 months before I take cuttings. Your plant needs to develop fully before you start redirecting hormone flows that cutting up your plants cause. I usually wait until there are 6+ nodes of growth. Make sure your mother is at optimum health before you cut - water with plain H20, and take cutting 1-2 days after the water.

I grow in 12 plant batches so I wait till theres at least 14 good shoots ( groth tips with at least 2 nodes below the tips) but it's really up to you. I cut clones every 5 weeks and never have a problem finding tips. I start a new mother after 4 or 5 cuttings, moving the old Mother into flowering.
So, in a nutshell, as long as you have the number of growth tips you want for clones, any time is good.
