The closer to the bottom of the plant you cut the branch, the more rooting hormones that branch has to develope roots. I just took clones from a friend for the first time and his were 3 weeks into flower... It took about 3 1/2 weeks to see roots forming, but now they're growing wonderfully! goodluck!

Yeah I got a clone of mine about a week or two that the plant was into flowering. I got some hairs at the top but other then that it took root and is growing roots rapidly!

what are you talking about take a woody bottom branch. you take a green one thats not mature, because the roots grow out of the green, not the woody part.
it doesnt take a whole shit ton longer either. i had to do it last time and it only took like 4 more days to root

Older branches root better because they already have accumulated hormones, starches, etc.

i dunno, you may be right considering ive never used woody branches for clones, but ive never heard of anyone recommending that.

im gonna take a few clones next week i'll take a few from woody bottom and a few from the greener new part of the plant and we'll see if there is any definate difference in rooting faster.
i did find scraping the stem where i put rooting powder made my clones root in 2 weeks
this past cloning i scraped half of them and those have roots right now the ones i diddnt scrape have no roots yet.

yeah scrapping definetly helps, as for woody or green, i have no clue, but i wouldnt clone too far into flowering cause it may cause the plant stress and make it hermie

scraping the clones roots them faster

I saw a video on growing where a guy didn't necessarily scrape the cutting, but more like etched thin strips. either way i'm sure it will work.

Yep..A thin scape and a diagonal cut from the lower branches is all you need. Well some rooting powder as well.
