So I've been growing this strain of white rhino for 4 years and my mama died while I was on vacation. I had repotted her because she was rootbound and did some root trimming and I guess I went to far. All her offspring are 4 weeks into flowering with buds on every branch. I'm not sure if I got the skill to get a clone to revert to veg at this point. I have hermie seeds from a light leak but I don't want to rely on them. Should I try colloidial silver or maybe try to reveg a couple after harvest? This plant hermies easily enough from stress so I want to avoid reinforcing the hermie gene.
What would you guys do if you were this close to loosing some good genetics?
 
Cloning from a flowering plant is just as easy as cloning from a veggin' plant, it just takes longer to root.
Clone that shit if it's that good!
 
Thanks!!! Man you responded quick. I've always thought it was suppose to be hard to clone during advanced flowering. Here's some pics to show them. They're about 4 weeks into flowering. It's a white rhino that's leaves look completely sativa but the stone is complete couchlock indica and you trip out in your head bigtime!

I tried cloning White Russian after 3 wks of flower. They rooted no problem but never would grow. I kept them for almost two months and all they did was make the remaining leaves dark dark green. Eventually the leaves started to get crusty and I threw them out. Hope you have better luck.
 
Nice man! Yea you can totally save that strain. I had some Bubba kush I cloned 8 weeks into flower because I didn't wanna lose it (still growin' it today) it took 3 weeks to root though, then another 4 weeks to revert to normal veg growth, but definately worth it.
 
Same history here. I don't even have moms anymore I take my cuttings from flowering plants, usually at week 2 but it's safe to do it anytime. They grow very big and bushy all the time.
 
Well I cut 4 clones off of her so its on... i think I might try colloidal silver next time around when i flower their offspring i've had my nose buried in my reference books... i'm a biology major and there is decent evidence that that method doesn't necessarily increase hermieability. It's disputed but its always good to have a seed stock to fall back on and there are times where i really need it because with my work i could be away from my grow for weeks at a time and whenever i leave them in someone elses care this shit happens! So i guess I'll try to track the survivability of these clones in case it helps anyone else. I cut buds off of 2 of the clones as a little experiment. 1 drop of superthrive and a few drops of aquashield to help out building they're defenses. Thanks for the advice and I hope they make it.
 
Just re veg one at the end of flowering. I just did a GHS Lemon Skunk and it took about 2 month's before I could clone her. Check my signature for some pics!!
 
Hey pal, I was looking some pictures of previous grows and reminded this tread, wanted to upload this for your peace of mind.

Sweet! Good to see I cut 4 clones off to be on the safe side and they're looking good so far its great seeing that its been done successfully by others.
