If i wanted to take some cuttings and my gals are about 4-5 weeks into flowering, they shouldn't have any problems taking root, right? Is there an ideal time? thanks
is it ever too late intio flowering to take clones?

I have seen threads where people have been able to revert a flowering clone to veg by putting it under 24/0, but your setting yourself up for a lot of problems, like they said above me, you want to take them in veg state whenever possible.

Yes you can take clones from flowering ladies. There are 2 negatives to be aware of though...
1 The clones will take 2 to 3 weeks longer to get established. Put them under a 24/0 light schedule.
2 This will atress the cuttings and you MAY get males or Hemo's. Have to watch'em real close till you're sure.
I've done this several times. Near the end of flowering I suddenly realize "This plant is kixking ass! Should get a clone."
Treat the cuttings as you would any veg clone.

right, but in order to determine that plants sex it must at least be a week or two into flowering... more even. so do a lot of people just take veg clones and hope they wind up female? do you have any tips for avoiding hermies? thanks

I don't think that's correct... You can see pistels on a female in veg after 3 or 4 weeks. But what I usually do with a new plant (I clone) is to take 2 or 3 clones and put the seedling into flower. If she turns out to be male or a hermie they all get the axe.
