This may be a dumb question but do clones mature more quickly through the flowering stage then plants from seed? It seems that mine do. Please post your thoughts and experiences.
Do clones flower faster?

no question is dumb , it makes sense , if u make mothers with clones ur generation can varie too , watch out when u buy some to be sure its not past 2-3 generations lol clones get problems

I heard 7-11 generations. Actually the guys at the farmacy were bragging that they had a mother plant that was 20 years old. (what I mean to say is that they knew someone that had one) (( or maybe they just heard about it)) I think I've just dreamt the last 12 months of my life.

From what I notice clones flower faster outdoor. However it is also depends on how large the plant is. Larger plants take longer to finish. I've cut clones and seed down at harvest. Left a lil veg matter to find them reverting back to veg they bushed out. Made clones and got buds twice from the same plant. This was a fem pure kush from greenhouse seeds.

just wrapped up my first grow (outdoors, uknown bagseed) and I wanted to experiment with cloning. I did this midflower mainly because I was lollipopping my plant and I couldnt find it in me to discard of the bottom budsights. It was either experiment with cloning or a quick dry and smoke to sample. Both my clones rooted under cfls inside and regressed back to vegging for 3 weeks in small cups
When I harvested the mother plant I decided to throw one of the clones outside seeing as though we dont get cold where im from until January really and usually only about 60f. Anyways, I placed clone outside and it reverted back to flowering within a week. This is it in its 3rd week of flower and she has exploded with Thc glands much faster than her mother and more abundant also her smell is more strong. A lemon cream smell with a skunk undertone. Another big thing I learned is that a clone will grow some mutations in its leaves if cloned late in flower giving a less obvious appearance to the untrained eye..looks like ill get a nice little micro harvest out of that milk jug....

This is possibly the most controversial question since growers started cloning back in the later 70's ....lol
depending on your own personal experience most growers save between 2 and 3 weeks from starting from seed, so from the clone is established in its own 4 inch pot with reasonable roots its ahead of the seedling that spent 2-3 weeks germing,..but the other camp may argue quite rightly that the clone has no vitality ..and hence the seedling has further to go, but has that 55-75% more energy to reach fantastic heights over the coming months..exceeding the expectations of the clone, cones are great for short term gains
hence a never ending subject ..good luck

I know this is an old post, clones or cuttings, do have a greater maturity, I have grown many clones and find that they take less time to flower and they are even better than the original mother. The problem most growers experience is time, meaning that they do not allow a plant to mature long enough. I have a mother plant that is three years old, I have several others ranging from 6 months to a year. Every cutting I have taken matures quickly, this removes veg. time drastically as well as at the very least, reducing flower time by a week. as far as mutation in cuttings or some genetic degradation, well, that comes from plant care and if there are to many deficiencies. Just make sure you keep the best cutting from a plant, you can also clone up to 4 weeks into flower, of course I would suggest if it is a cutting from a flowering plant that you use a rooting agent. I have been growing for awhile and have a lot of experience with cuttings from multiple kinds of plants, most of my knowledge comes from my experience or my girlfriends, she has been growing plants for over thirty years.

You may have suffered some form of head injury. I would suggest that you find a medical facility and seek out a Doctor immediately.Does she own a fishing boat and do you have pics of the boat?

You can root cuttings from plants further into bloom than that. The procedure is the same. It just requires time to reveg it.

Yes that is true, it is just much harder to do and success is not always guaranteed.

It's how i do it. Only lost a few cuttings . Inever clone any other way ow. The yields are the heaviest. It just takes longer and NOT overwatering .

- you can take clone at most points of a cannabis plant’s life – although clones may root a little faster in the vegetative stage, you can take clones up until 2-3 weeks before harvest in order to save your favorite plant for the next grow (though make sure to pinch off any buds and expect some weird looking growth for the first week or two on cannabis clones taken from flowering plants)

I use water, cloning is not hard, although, I use rooting powder, it is faster. Still, nothing beats a cup of water and patience. Seen your posts before, you say some very direct and sensible advice.
