Clones off of monster cropped mother plant?

So my question is if I take a clone off my 3 week budded plant. Then root and reveg that clone until maturity again. Will the resulting clones off her as a mother plant still have the monster cropped trait of her if kept under veg. lighting periods while/after rooting?? Or will they just look like a normal clone wi alternating nodes??

It's just a clone of the original, it's the flower part that makes them grow desirable.

That’s it at the back right a week or so later.

Normal clones have non alternating nodes. "Monster clones" reveg or whatever you want to call it has alternating nodes.

Alternating phyllotaxy is a sign of maturity.
Cloning does not send a plant back into it's youth.
It is still an adult plant and will display alternating (or whorled) phyllotaxy.
You only get a couple weeks of opposite phyllotaxy before it matures.

Edit:
I purposely take clones after the first week of bloom, to give me a massive boost in branching sites after reveg.
use an oxycloner, so they ALWAYS reveg just fine.
This is my solution for supercropping plants that come from clone and have lost their opposite phyllotaxy long ago.
It allows me to create thick bushes from which I can fill a trellis.
One plant per 4x4 is easily attainable this way in a fairly short time frame.

So you're saying if I took a couple cuttings of a monster cropped mother plant, then the babies will look like a normal clone?

If I understand the question? It will be evenly spaced if taken from a true top Un even spacing if a side or branch. 3 weeks flower will add a day or 3 to rooting. And the later into flower? The more fun rooting becomes for me. Hope this helps.

Bloom causes the internode length to shrink drastically while calyxes form.
When you reveg, the plant stretches back out and branches grow from each internode.
I sometimes use a tiny bit of light deprivation to get more stretch, if I need to balance the growth a little.
This can result in basically the same thing as a new start, and in fact give you more branches that a new start would normally give.
Just ALWAYS take perfectly healthy clones. If a plant is stuttering, wait until it is healthy again before cloning.
Illnesses and certain pest damage can become genetic when damaged clones are taken.
It could ruin your prized strain, if you perpetuate it by cloning.

Yeah Man it's either I clone tomorrow or just let the sucker shoots ride it out another 8 weeks.
