When is plant mature enough to clone?

As long as you can take a cutting with atleast 3 nodes you can clone it....ive done it with only 2 nodes but it makes for a really really short plant...basically with a 3 node cutting you will take off the lower node growth and keep the upper 2, that should give you a decent height stem for the plant to grow from as far as ballance between height and width...as well as enough height to keep the lower branches out of the dirt or hydro media/nutes.

Once the mom sexes it is obviously transitioned from veg to flower.
Taking cuts and placing them in veg will take a while longer as the cut has to transition back to veg. A better/quicker way is to take cuts before flower and then throw a cut or the mom into flower and see what happens. If it is male and you don't want males then you can scrap them all. If it is female then you have cuts in veg already and are that much further ahead, maybe weeks.

Saves time, money, time, equipment, time . . . .. Agreed. Ahead of the game.

You want the clone mom to be at least 6 weeks in dirt. Younger moms are a lot less likely to throw off viable clones.

Good luck, BigSteve.
