Can you send a mother back into Veg after she starts flowering?

Long story short is one of our timers got fucked during a move and our moms all went into flower, started flowering pretty decent before we caught it.

NOw we have these massive moms and we put them back into 18hr veg from the 13hr they were accidentally put onto when they went into flower.


What can we do and can flowering clones be taken off of these moms without issue or is it best to just toss these moms or toss them into flower room?


Thanks guys

There is a technique called Monster Cropping, where you wait to take clones once the buds are marble size. I used this technique and am about to harvest 6 of those clones

You do need to switch to veg spectrum lighting & increase the number of hours of light AND lower ppms < 400

your good...

you have a couple of options. you could take a cut continue to flower and then reveg the clone... or you could reveg the mother and take clones with buds off of it until you get them all.. these flowered mom clones are called monster cropping like the guy up top mentioned. monster cropped plants tend to node off really hard and do really well so no worries. IF ... "IF"!! the mom was grown from a feminized seed where they left it in flower to produce female pollen sacs late in the grow to pollenate another female to get female seeds... monster cropping could cause the plant to hermie... but that shouldnt happen because most female seeds are made using colliodial silver.

Flowering is just a flood of 2 different hormones in the plant based on a internal circadian movement. during lights on bulking hormone is produced in the plant .. an Infrared light on light shut off or end of day signals night time switch and flowering hormone is created at night when lights are off. this is why sometimes you can catch a plant right in the sweet spot where itll flicker between stages and why shutting off the light for 2 days or whatever is a bad idea.. because your not creating bulking hormones that are converted into flowering hormones = smaller buds.. and why slowly increasing the light time towards end of flower increases yields... gl nuke
