Can you put a clone straight into flowering?

I'm guessing the guy that was talking about presexing must have taken his clones from a plant that hadn't shown its sex yet. As far as mine are going, they've been under 24 hour light for a little over a week now and all are still alive. There is a little browning on the ends of the leaves of a couple of them that came off of the flowering plant, but other than that there is just a little stressing and curling of the leaves. I think we'll leave them in veg for at least another week and then put them outside. Any suggestions on when I should start giving the clones veg nutes?

Good luck, ya wont get far without any roots.
To me the idea of having a clone , implies that it is rooted already. Now almost all clones are going to be Female, lets just assume this, only the females make buds. so IMO the answer is yes, you can take clones and go directly into flowering.
Now a CUTTING, that may or may not take off if put directly into flowering. Usually flowering means you are going to be using HPS lights, in my experience the cuttings under HPS tend to dry out and wilt away and roots never developed.

Right but you cant assume newbies know a clone is rooted and a clipping is a clone that hasn't rooted. hence the confusion with the poster, he was truly asking, Can you put a clipping directly into flower/12-12? Which is no.

Exactly chaoticmetal, I meant cutting, not clone. I thought I said that earlier. As far as yield goes, which is what that guy said was BS, I think the guy that said I would only get a couple of grams on top meant that if I put it straight into flowering that the clone wouldn't get very big. This is probably true, but I am actually planning on putting my clones outdoors to finish out their growth. I think this will help them get pretty big.

I usually take clones and veg them two weeks under t5s and then flower,Ive been haveing 30 inch plants yielding about 20 to 30 grams per plant and have about 70 clones in a 6x6 closet,which I harvest ever 8 weeks.Ive got several new strains growing and some of them are in the 55 day range,More harvests sooner.I just read a new smoke report today on chernoble and this shits the bomb(3 phenos maybe 4)go to breedbay forums to check out that detailed pheno and smoke report(Herbilizer is the grower)
