So after my clones root and I put them into flower, will they produce more branches to clone off of? I dont want to keep a mother.. Or should i try to veg them for another week or so till they make good branches?

Id vegg the clones for at least 1-2 weeks so they establish a decent root system.

The longer you veg the more cuttings you will have to clone. Don't try to clone a flowering plant it takes to long to turn it around.

cloning a clone of a clone of a clone and so on is not a good idea... You are going to end up with easily stressed plants of questionable potency.

I've done this at for at least a dozen generations without any real degradation in the plant. Just have to keep from stressing out any of the plants to avoid affecting their cuttings. I'm not saying it's not a genuine concern, but chances are you're not screwed if you want to do this a few times. Some strains are interesting, but not good or heavy enough yielders to grow a whole table or justify a big mother plant.

solo602: I'd leave them in veg until you have the branches you need to cut clones before you start 12/12.

Does anyone know what kind of yield to expect from a clone with 2 weeks veg to flower?

Also I have read in many articles that cloning clones has no ill affect on yield or potency.

Well ive also read things about pple cloning flowering plants which apparently makes the main colas larger.. I clipped about 9 and about 3 of them were already flowering. So we will see in a few weeks how each one goes. I will update w/pix
