taking cuttings

is it ok to take cuttings one week in to the flower stage

if its ok will the cuttings flip back in to veg if the clones are on 24/7

i ask this question because sea of green needs many cuttings and if i grow them for one week then one week in to flower i could take the cuttings and would not need a mother ????????????

Monster Cropping or Flowering Clones is another method of growing that was brought to my attention by one of our members; JWP, who also was kind enough to provide the pictures for this part of the guide. This method involves taking clones of flowering plants and then forcing them to root and re-veg, which eventually leads to very bushy plants with a great number of branches and nodes. I named this technique Monster Cropping because that is what you will get, real monster plants, but also because this method was introduced to the scene by a grower named greenmonster714. He in turn credits a grower named Feral for discovering this technique.


You start by taking clones of a plant that is about 21 days into flowering. This seems to be the best time to do it but you can also takes clones at a later stage with the same results. The lower branches make better clones as they have not yet become rigid and will also root faster and more easily than say the top cola. Move the new cutting into a glass of water and let it sit for a while in order to make sure that no air gets into the vascular system during handling, as this can be fatal to your new plant. You should make the cut so that it runs along the stem as this will increase the surface area for water and possibly nutrient uptake, depending on what method of cloning you use. Personally, I have found that using a small hydroponic setup or a propagation bubbler is by far the best way to clone cannabis plants. I will not expand on the subject of cloning here, if you need more information on how to clone your plants, have a look at the official cloning thread by JJScorpio

In the picture below, you can see how the clone from a flowering plant been has placed in a propagation bubbler for rooting and re-vegging. This also means that you will have to put the clone back under a veg light schedule of 18/6, 20/4 or even 24/0. Clones do not need strong light so a small CFL will do. You can remove some of the buds at this stage in order to encourage the plant to revert back into its vegetative cycle but leave the topmost flower alone.

yeahhh so who the hell needs mothers?????????????if this is true why keep a mother plant?

it really up to you there are many different growing styles no 1 can truly say 1 is better then another it whats comfortable to you...

my girls get cut all the time with no problsm

I recently cloned a bud from a plant 7 weeks into flowering just to see what would happen. It took a while but it rooted and is now sprouting new growth. It took it almost 2 months to start new vegetative growth but it worked. You can take clones really anytime that suits you. Most perpetual setups don't use mothers. They simply take cuttings on the plants that are getting ready to be put into flowering (some take them in early flowering) and just repeat the cycle over and over again. This is the beauty of growing cannabis. There are so many ways to do it almost anybody can figure out a setup that suits their specific needs.
