I frequently clone flowering ladies, you can do it rather late in the season too, just important to get them on a 24 hr schedule.
typically they root in about 12-14 days, and take about a whole month from when they are cut, to when they actually regen.
My landlord has the entire top of our mountain, and he always goes from seed, so in about early sept I go and see which ladies have the smells and crystals that I like.
Works like a charm, provided you aren't in a hurry to get them veged again.

sure, but it's not easy that way. I have lost four plants trying to regenerate them, certain strains just don't like to do that.
I would recommend taking cuts and rooting those, regen'ing a plant can be tricky, the soil retains more moisture than it likes because you harvested most of the plant, so not only do you have open "wounds" where you cut it, but you also have a soil media that is typically retaining too much water than it needs.. mold can be a problem under those conditions
Also ya gotta get the lights on it rather brightly, but not too close to burn it.
Tricky man...
in fact the ONLY times I have lost strains is when I've tried to regen the mother.
I'd take four or five cuts, depending on your clone success %

Oh its completely possible the issue is that they take longer to root and then need to be revegged which takes time and energy most of us aren't willing to spend.

how far in to flower? thats FAST!! thats faster then my normal clones root, you must have a good method. What do you use for rooting hormone? If any... i have heard some folks just use honey. Haven't tried that yet.

no hormones, no nothing, I use an ex cloner, with absolutely a sterile environment.
always use distilled water too.
clean exact-o knife for cutting, and nothing but water.
