Its just used to limit the height of the plant, so the the plants grow up to the wire and start bending under the wire exposing more of the plant to light. You just want a canopy of green leaves under your wire getting as much light as you can into a small area. If you do it right you should get a carpet of dense buds. And cloning you just cut off the new grow shoots off a female plant, cut the stem at 45 degree angle, put some rooting hormone on the stem, stick it in rockwool, give it some fluorescent light, not too much, and keep it really really really humid. It should start rooting after a week.

during veg, but you can do it early in flowering

Some people switch to 12/12 so they can spot the females, then they switch back to veg and take clones

No it's not too late. I have taken clones from a plant 2 weeks into the flowering period with success. You can take them at the very end too. Just takes longer to reveg them. So the earlier the better.

It has revegged when you see new growth, you will know. Depending on when you take the clone it can take a month to reveg
