Can I clone my plant in flowering stage?

**krillman** · 03-22-2008, 06:52 PM

I have a couple plants in flowering stage on a 12/12 light cycle. I tried cloning them during vegetative stage but i royally messed it up and they all died.

is it possible to clone a plant that is in flowering stage or will they die?

you can take clones while theyre in flowering, the clones will just be under a little more stress. its a little more difficult depending on how far you are into flowering because not only does the clone have to grow new roots but it has to revert to the vegitative state. good luck

Although not the preferred method, it will work. It will take a while for it to revert to veg and when it does it'll have some funky leaves for a while, but it'll come around.

Look at the beginning of my grow jornal. There are pics of 2 plants in a drip system. Those were taken 5-6 weeks in to flower and I thought they'd never survive. They are doing GREAT now.

yes you can, try to find clones that haven't sexed so it will be easier to revegetate

Hey check out my grow journal....I gots proof that you can. I screwed up and cloned my mother plant who is already in flower and i cloned it in 12/12 by accident...and it rooted....

So yes you can, i have another one started too..

Also try to take your cuttings from the lower branches. If you aren't too far into the 12/12 cycle they will take better too.
