my plants are two weeks into flowering and they are just starting to bud, would i be okay to cut some clones from the lower bud sites and re-veg them for another crop?

Sure ... I've taken cuttings as late as three weeks into flowering. Its not the best thing to do though. Ideally, the best time is about a week before you enter the flowering cycle. If you take the cuttings now, they WILL make it. Good luck with the grow ...

Yes, but a cutting taken while the stock plant is flowering will need to be forced to revert back to a vegetative state under 24 hour light. This causes additional stress, slowing growth and development. Rooting may take up to three times longer when the cuttings are taken during the flowering cycle. The cutting may not have enough stored nutrients or carbohydrates to survive. If you must do this then take the cutting when the mother plant is only a week or two into flowering.

Additional comment...
The above "flowering plant" is to be taken verbatim.
However, the above should not to be confused with a sexy mom who has been showing her primordia aka pre flowers while vegging, and has been kept in a vegetative state of growth for several months or years. These old mature primordia displaying moms clone just as well as a premature seedling.
