Clones

So i took some clones off of a plant that is in flowering. I know there's mixed feelings about taking clones from a flowering plant....anyway the clones are not dying theyve been in the peat pucks for four or five days now and yesterday i accidetally tipped one over and it came out of the peat puck and there was no sign of rooting...but theyre all standing straight up not wilting.....so today i split a puck open with an exacto knife to see if there was any sign of rooting...there wasnt so i put that one in a new puck and i sprinkled a little bit of rooting powder on the hole in the puck around the stem of the clone then sprayed a little water to wash the rooting powder down to the tip of the stems actually i did that with all of them....whats going on with these guys do they just need more time?????

They just need more time for a more concise answer. I find the earliest ice had roots were seven days but for me it's usually ten days to two weeks. Sometimes they'll go over and it's strain dependent

so was it a good idea to give them all a little more rooting powder

?????????????????????

Didn't hurt anything.

Any plant can give up a clone, getting that clone to root is the goal.

A cutting will reflect what the donor-mother is doing. Flowering plants are pretty much done growing roots.
So why take cuttings from a plant in the wrong stage? Waste of time and energy.

Monstercropping.. The clone will branch out like crazy without needing to be topped when it starts to veg again
