I accidentally snapped off a side shoot from a plant that is 3 weeks into 12/12. I re-cut it underwater and put it in a plug oozing with rooting gel.

I have the impression from threads I have read here that you cannot take cuttings from a plant in flower. Is this true?

While I'm here asking ... Turning a plant into a mother, simliar question
When you have a nice plant that has flowered and has shown excellent potential as a mother how do you keep / turn it into a mother. Do you just harvest it and leave enough bottom leaves so that you can put it under 24/24 to veg cycle again ... or do you just take a cutting from it while its in flower and grow a clone?

You can take cuts while in flower they just take a bit longer to root . Your other question you can do just like you said either way .

you alright...

if you have a plant you might want too keep. you should take a cutting first. then put the plant in to flowering.. and if its good. let it flower and keep the clone.. but if u take a cutting from a flowering plant. it should root. but will take about a month to re veg.. or you can re veg the plant you have.. put it back into the normal cycle. 18 hours. 6 off. and it will slowly grow back

you will be in for a very long reveg...but normally she should produce again....if it roots that is...
but it can take 2 or 3 months....also depends on what lighting u use

I can't stand the time it takes to reveg .

Thanks all

I guess I will keep my cut rooting and just be prepared to wait. I have pleanty of room in that cubby so no loss.

After two weeks the roots have developed quite fast using Olivia's Cloning Gel in a RockWool plug. I'll pluck off the old fan leaf today.

nice rootage resinator . be prepared for some strange , funky growth during the initial re-veg (single , curly , frosty leaves , weak thin stems , pistils) . i think the key to a fast re-veg is strong light , with 20/4 giving good results .

these clones were taken 14 days into 12/12 . still throwing pistils and funky leaves after 2 months under 36w fluros . 2 weeks under 600w MH and they're 100% veging again nicely . this was the first time i v had to use clones from flowering plants . wouldn t recommend it but as a last card in the pack , it works ............

Yeah, the leaves from flowering seem like they are continuing to grow. I'm tempted to just put it straight to flower now but that would defeat the purpose of keeping this backup clone alive in the first place.

Yours look like they survived ok. Well done.

This one can go back with the other misfits and veg for a while. Lets see how long it takes to spit out some normal fan leaves.
