3" clones with buds, to flower or reveg? need help

just received a pineapple express clone from g13 seeds, from a trusted friend, was about 3 inches high and budding when i received it, i have continued a 12/12 light cycle in hopes of a small but yielding plant, I realize that this is not the best route to take but i need advice on anything i can do to make sure this plant works out i will be upgrading my likes to a true daylight fluorescent and will keep up my weekly to biweekly feeding please let me know what other information you need to help me

Idk bro looks like you might want to just let her finish and start over.... Most clones have a defined sex already(which may look like preflowers or acouple swollen glands) this doesnt meen it was flowering when he gave it to you. Next time keep them under a veg light cycle untill they have enough root mass to suport the flowering faze.

good luck

could i put her back into a veg state without doing to much damage and beef her up a little then reflower? or just see where this goes for now

thanks

If i were you I'd cut my loses and just start over..... I would'nt kill her(let her finish flowering) but reveging her may just be a disapointment(stressed out plant with little overall yield). Then again it's always a learning experience, pick one reveg or flower. When it's finished analyize what you've done and try to recognize any misstakes

Good luck

thank you, i will continue the flowering and see what happens. ill keep yall posted how things turn out

thanks again

question, was this plant well rooted when it was given to you. or was it cut off a flowering mother and this is the flowers from mother..

if this plant has buds from the mother and it was cut to clone, then i see red flags, the plant will need to concentrate energy for root growth, and by the look of the pistils this plant had less then 2 weeks of flowering to go before harvest..

if the plant was cloned earlier has a good root mass at the time of the pic and has been flowering for a month, or more, then i would continue to raise this plant because it only has a couple of weeks to go..

now for the reveg or start over , that depends on you..

do u have access to more of this strain? If not then yes, reveg.
If you do then just start over, seeing that you have to leave 5-10% of buds on a plant to keep it alive, and ur looking at less then 6g off that lil plant, meaning you would have 3g-4g left, not worth it..

good luck

That is a small plant you will be lucky to get 20 grams if you let her finish. If you have access to more clones flower her and just get some new clones to put under your new light.

If your goal is go grow some real weight ASAP and this plant is all you got you should regen that clone now and use it as a future mother. If you had 25 clones that size you would have a nice little SOG going.

If you want a small amount of bud flower her as she is. In my opinion that clone was taken from a flowering plant.

Hit me with a PM if you wish I am happy to help you.

Good Luck.

Someone please chime in on this post if im wrong.. because i may be

Taking a clone from a flowering plant is frowned upon, and takes a little longer to root, but can be done.
my question is;
can you take a clone from a flowering plant and root and continue to flower and the current buds continue to grow instead of attempting to making new buds and the current ones will stay current size or grow larger?

Yes you can but during the cloning stage the cutting is very prone to mold and other fungus. We all know what can happen to buds in high humidity. If I need to clone a flowering plant in order to save the genetics I trim off all lower bud just leaving the growing tip.

Problems are that the plant has had no veg time to build up energy reserves. Meanwhile it has to find the energy to root and continue flowering so the growth will be extremely slow and the yield very low as the plant will never grow new fan leaves and they are the plants main source of photosynthesis. It is not a useable grow method in my opinion. I experimented with this years ago for me its a no go for me.

If you want to rapidly flower your clones you are better off taking them from a mature female that is in pre flower. Then run your cloning light cycle at 12 on 12 off. Your clone will root in the normal 7 to 10 days and may even grow a bit depending on the strain. It wont get very big and the resulting plant will be a single bud growing straight up. Pack a few hundred of these little girls together and your yield can be quite high.

Just check your local laws first big brother may want to send you away for a large number of plants. So this to must be considered we all now a cannabis sprout can have a street value of $4000.

yes you can revegg a flowered clone,ppl do it all the time.

if you reveg you are looking at 4 weeks minimum to root and revert back to veg. If you do, nip of all flowers, the flowers will die, mould up and probably kill the plant if you dont. IMHO not worth the hassle, let it finish and start another in the mean time.

FYI if you do revert back to veg and keep her alive, she will branch like a mofo, veg growth like you have never seen. They go mad to the point where it can be too much to handle.
