Rooting in the flower room

I cut 2 clones from my plants 2 weeks into flower. Small cuts from the bottoms of the plants, just big enough to get 2 nodes into a peat puck with regular rooting hormone. Stuck them into a large Tupperware with a small opening for air and put them in the corner of my flower room on the floor (600 HPS). Misted the Tupperware 2 or 3 times following days when it was dry inside. After 8 days they had great roots at 12/12, I had kept the top little flower on each, both stayed white and healthy.

So was news to me, but you can clone just fine from flower in 12/12 and root, then plant and take out to put under 16-18 hour vegging cycle to re-veg.

Here's a pic I took today, their 1st day in re-veg going under 18 hour CFL light after cloning/rooting and being planted.

Worked so well I took a cut from another flowering plant and it's in the 12/12 room. Usually cuts I take from flower have issues getting roots, so I'm pleased this easy peasy method has worked for me.

Nice man, check out my first grow in my signature, I did this quite a bit, clones actually root faster when taken from flower.

Actually I dont know if anything in there is actually useful haha, but if ur bored u can sift through it. I fucked up large but learnt so much about veg.

I re-read ur first post. I didnt try it under 12/12 lighting sorry, but I would cut clones from a flowering mother... athough lighting isnt HUGE on rooting clones so im not surprised they rooted just as well in 12/12.. you say you have trouble usually rooting from flower when clones are placed under 18 or 24 hours of light?.. for me I have never had this case, maybe it was the strain but they rooted even faster coming from a flowering plant, i had them on 24/0 to root, then 24/0 to veg at that time. i like how the clones re-veg because you dont have to top them or anything, they come back all bushy already, saves time on waiting for your plants to grow more tops after training, fimming etc etc.

Yeah it was news to me that you could root at 12/12 with no problem and great speed, everything I always read made it seem like you should root clones only at 18/6. This way my clones don't have to re-veg and root at the same time, slowing down rooting I assume. Handy for me because I have had issues with clones from flower dying or not doing well before they rooted. The roots from flower came quick under 12/12, and then I am re-vegging them.

Ah yes I see what your saying. I would agree, makes perfect sense, why stress the plant out more putting it into a veg lighting schedule when your just trying to root them. Timing might actually all balance out and take the same amount of time but it makes sense to have even better success with rooting clones from flower. I just remember when i took clones from a flowering plant they rooted faster for me so I figured id mention that tip.. now you have gaven me yours, sweet lol. Cheers
