I was able to take clones at 3 weeks into flower. Take the cuttings from lower parts. It took some time before they rooted and then they had to re veg. The first few leaves grew funny but now the plant is back to normal and very healthy. Good luck.

yes...but you may get some funky 1 leaved growth or it may take it a bit longer to get it's ca-ca together and revert back to full-on veg.

Word I hear is that they should root faster though....

good luck

It does take longer and yes, they will root, but I lost half, so take more than you want to end up with. and remove any pistols or other signs of sex as they will mold.

Peace

I did this since the first clones I took prior to flower I killed. So, in order to save the genetics I had to take them late. It took a bit to root but they came around and I still have them so all good.

Good luck with it post up some pics too.

I'm rooting a small tub of cuttings from my budding plant right now as well, will try to post any interesting happenings

so far they've been in seed and cutting starting garden mix, and I've been keeping them wet, misting them every so often, been keeping them out of direct sun, but a few days ago started turning a daylight bulb on for them. they've been in their pots since... (had to check my calendar!) Sunday the 27th - so a good week, with no wilting! and only some slight lightening in some of the leaves!! so I think it's going well!

a quick question though - I've seen many people trim the leaf points down on their clones, wondering if anyone can fill me in on that ?

By trimming the leafs back I believe it forces or tells the plant to work on rooting for the moment not to focus on leaf growth. I followed that and mine turned out.
