Unfortunately, seeds not available where I live.Yes it will work. But it takes a long time for it to revert. Starting from seed would be faster.
I have another question, I believe that exposing flowering plants to light outside of the flowering cycle could cause the plant to either become a male or become hermaphrodite.Yes it will work. But it takes a long time for it to revert. Starting from seed would be faster.
Thanks Jimster, I asked BigCube another question, above.I have sometimes just taken a branch from a growing plant and try to root it. Re-vegging takes a few weeks, but rooting might be easier.
If you take a flowering female plant and and change its lighting from 12/12 to 18/6 it will revert to veg, this will not cause a plant to change sex or become a hermaphrodite. Stress can cause female plants to produce male parts but this does not make them genetic hermaphrodites as this trait would not be passed to clones or future generations if you were to breed the plant. It takes about a month from switching back to 18/6 before the plant will have vegging branches large enough to clone. I currently have a plant revegging, I have more seeds of the same strain so I didn't think to clone it earlier but the particular phenotype performed so well that I wanted to make sure I could grow the exact plant again.I have another question, I believe that exposing flowering plants to light outside of the flowering cycle could cause the plant to either become a male or become hermaphrodite.
With how much certainty will this work, I could put one of the branches outside of the tent.
Maybe I can make my own seeds?
Thanks, if it's vegging again, will it not flower after a while? It will be the exact same plant!If you take a flowering female plant and and change its lighting from 12/12 to 18/6 it will revert to veg, this will not cause a plant to change sex or become a hermaphrodite.

Why would you then want to clone it?
Size and shape. Its not exactly the same plant considering I have harvested 90% of it. I could reflower my revegged plant but it just wouldnt produce as much as the clones can or fit in with the canopy of my other plants. I also want multiple clones, so this plant will be a mother of sorts until one of the them can take its place.Thanks, if it's vegging again, will it not flower after a while?

Thanks for the clarification..When you re-veg a plant, it goes through a series of changes. You could and people do ... but that re-vegged plant can have some unpredictable leaf and growth patterns before it settles out. People clone them because by the time you have growth that you can clone, the growth has returned to more like what you're used to and the clones can be trained to fit an indoor space much easier.
I have heard of people putting a revegged plant outside for a summer run.
I reckon I missed that bus, I flipped the lights nearly a month ago.Another option for you may be seeding a plant or portion of a plant. Basically if you spray a branch of cannabis starting when you flip the lights to 12 12 with colloidal silver it will cause just that branch to turn male, and give you pollen. You can then pollinate a few of the other buds on the same plant. This would give you seeds.

That may be why my clones haven't taken...thanks.It "can" be done. People have done it. I have never tried it while still in flower. I have heard it's hard (just not impossible) because it's not in "grow" mode like you said.
man, you could try to take some cuts from it and stick in a vase of water to propagate that wayThat may be why my clones haven't taken...thanks.
Cloning a flowering plant isnt really any harder than cloning a vegging plant but flowering plants will have far fewer branches that are suitable for cloning. It is not really beneficial to clone the plant while it is in flower, the clones will perform much better if cut from the plant after it has reverted to veg. If you want to keep the genetics there are really only two useful methods for you at this point, use the colloidal silver like bigcube mentioned and do it now so you have mature seeds ready when the plant is finished or reveg and clone after harvesting most of the plant like I have shown. Fwiw, I also chop the bottom 2/3 of my rootball before revegging but Im also in dwc, not sure what medium youre in.I reckon I missed that bus, I flipped the lights nearly a month ago.

This is second-hand knowledge that I haven't tried yet myself, but there's a way of cloning that's used in winemaking that should also work with weed.
If you bend down a branch on a plant and submerge a part of it in dirt, it will eventually start rooting.
