Ok so i started from seed with my plants and i switched them over to flower about a week ago to sex them. I figured out i got 3 females and 2 males.
The females started growing hairs already i was wondering if i should switch them back to veg before i cut clones or if i can take my clones and switch them to veg?

thanks for any help and sorry if this is a stupid question/.

definitely. you can clone anything at any time. i cut off my pinky finger (at a 45 degree angle of course), put rooting gel on it, and had a mini me in about a week

the girls will usually take at least 2 weeks to revert back to a veg state either way in my experience. I've only been cloning for about 6 months or so right now but I would say take your clones and put them back into veg and leave the mother alone. I've recieved clones from a friend a few times from plants that had already started flowering and i have not had any more problems with them rooting than any others. Just note that it may take a little longer to see them start to grow again

It will shoot out alot of branches too, my friend cloned a fully flowering plant and when it started to re-veg it was so bushy It made me want to always clone flowering plants. They have a harder time rooting though.

I once had to go outta town and the person i had watching my garden killed all my mother plants, so I had to take clones off a plant that was in its 7th week of flowering. It did work but it took almost 2 months to revert back and start growing in veg stage again... but to answer your question Yes its possible

thanks for all the help everyone. I am going to take about 12 clones in total and throw them in some rock wool and dip them in some water and put them into my humidity dome tonight.

Alright so i took 5 cuttings and ive quit for the night. I quit ealry because i wasnt confident in the way they were turning out.
So i cut them with a razor blade than shaved the very bottom of the stem (shaved like a carrot) Than i dipped it in Root Gel, than i stuck it in the rockwool and dipped the rock wool in water. I put them in my humidity dome which i misted with water. They are under 3X 23w CFL bulbs.
Right now thats all they got. I plan on picking up a heating pad tomorrow to keep the bottoms warm.
Can you let me know how they look.
There a bit small

In the first pic is the clones i worked with. I also trimmed the big leaves.
The second picture is the mothers.

oh ya i forgot to mention, the rockwool holes are big so i stuck a little hole through the bottom for something to stick the stem into to hold it up right. Can i fill the big holes with permiculite or soil?
