I have this problem, all the cuttings i had died and the plants been harvested except for the smaller buds on the bottom third of the plant question is should I let these small buds remain to maybe get fatter or should I remove them leaving green leafage and try to rejuvinate and hope for cuttings if this is at all possible please let me know I have never tried this before but the strain was a good one HELP!!!!
Any info is appreciated

If they've already started budding ain't it too late? I've never taken cuttings but im sure you do it before you switch the lights to 12/12!

Leave the small buds and put her back under 24/7 light until she is in full veg again (this could tale up to 3 weeks) then take your clones.

Well you can take off whatever buds are left, but leave as many leaves as you can and like dig a knife down through the roots a little to just tear a few up, and then put the plant back under lights that are 18/6 or better...so no more than 6 hours of darkness...

if u want to try and save it, dont cut all of the buds off. leaves some and all remaining leaves and put back to 24hrs lights on. it will take a lot of time and hoping but it should reveg.

Pooh your saying removes the buds to make them seem in the veg stage still. I'm sure that won't work.

It sure will work..if you leave the buds themselves they will reveg too, but you end up with a weird looking plant with like tufts of branches growing out from where the buds were...like each calyx making up the bud will become a branch...so you get an alien plant that takes months to grow...or you can trim it down to just some leaves and maybe a couple of the smallest under buds can be left too...but you can then take as many clones as you want...for sure...have done it myself a couple of times...

chop that bitch up and get some flowering clones and start again, it beats spending 3 weeks re veg just to get cuttings

There is lots of material left to re-veg that plant, if you can get cuttings get them, if not and you do not want to lose these genetics you you know what you have to do.
