if i grow a plant out and at the end of flowering the plant turns out great and i want to grow it again could i cut a piece off it and clone it? is it any harder making clones at the end of flowering compaired to the veg state?

I toke some clones off of a 5-6 wk. flowering hybred and it worked out. The only problem I had was when I finally havested my "clone giver" she was sort of skanky. I crossed a blue cheeze with a NLx shiva male and it sucks. It looked good with decent yields but I didn't like the smoke. I cloned 6-7 cutting showing trichomes at the base of the plant and all but one survived. I just tossed them out yesterday which was hard to do but I got enough inventory to last me till my next grow. No use growing more inventory that I really don't like very much. Good luck, it can work.

Just be patient and leave em alone in their humidity chamber. You'll see little buds and trichomes but leave the lights on 20-24 hr. a day and eventually it will revert back to the veg stage.

I have successfully rooted clones cut from plants 3-4 weeks into flowering and had good results. People think its impossible to cut clones after a certain point in flower, but to my knowledge you can clone at any time with some success. There is no reason you can't - it may be tougher but the fact is, the stem still contains the hormones needed to make roots. Try cutting a fully formed bud (a smaller or less-dense one of course!) the week before harvest. I bet it will root just as fast as a normal clone cut from a flowering mother. Then when you start flowering that clone, a new branch will start to grow from every calyx on the bud (in theory).

Then again, I could be wrong :) There might in fact be a point during flowering when cloning is no longer possible.
