Default Cloning while in Flower
I have a few questions for you guys...I just started flowering my babies and I NEED clones.....I was wondering if it could be acceptble to take a clone off a early flowering female (flowering 2 weeks) and just put the clone on 24 hour and revert it back to veg...Would their be any problem making this clone a mother? I have some amazing plants right now (NLxSkunk#1, Hindu Kush, G13xBudda) and I really don't want to lose these guys!

Yes, but a cutting taken while the stock plant is flowering will need to be forced to revert back to a vegetative state under 24 hour light. This causes additional stress, slowing growth and development. Rooting may take up to three times longer when the cuttings are taken during the flowering cycle. The cutting may not have enough stored nutrients or carbohydrates to survive. If you must do this then take the cutting when the mother plant is only a week or two into flowering.

Additional comment...
The above "flowering plant" is to be taken verbatim.
However, the above should not to be confused with a sexy mom who has been showing her primordia aka pre flowers while vegging, and has been kept in a vegetative state of growth for several months or years. These old mature primordia displaying moms clone just as well as a premature seedling.

It's not a good idea to take cuttings from flowering plants for two reasons -

1) It stresses the flowering plant and can cause it to hermie.

2) Forcing the cutting back into vegetative growth can stress it and diminish it's genetic integrity causing possible abnormal growth, turning it into a hermie or reversing it's sex altogether. Plants flowered and forced back into vegetative growth can also yield less and produce less potent buds.

Next time take your cuttings in vegetative growth.
