How late is too late to take an outdoor clone?

[RickShawRyder]

So I haven't been able to get the full potential from this particular plant. (Original GDP) She was cracked late & I didnt really care about her too much. After successfully taking my first clones from my #1 plant this year now I was thinking of cloning her. Today when I finally got around to going to take a clone I realized she had an abundance of pistils & has started flowering. Not far of course but thought Id ask some peeps with some more experience before I waste my time trying. I've read about re-vegging & all that jazz but just want to take a clone, get it to root,transplant & keep it alive in veg. Check the pic is it too far or possible?

you can always take a clone , some leave small nugs on the bottom after harvest for re-vegging , the real question is how long are you prepared to wait for re-veg 

some plants can go back pretty quick but others can sit there for months , i've seen people give up waiting ,  i have one now that was cut in september i think & has 

only , in the last 2 to 3 weeks started to show signs she's re-vegging

Well shes barely starting to flower so should be easy right? I have no idea as  Ive only taken my first clones a couple weeks ago.

Worth a shot.

I prefer to make clones before switching to flowering stage. However you may make it at any time.

Hardest thing being in flower is there "not really" making roots at that point , theoretically the plant has made roots & is now on to other processors

take a look at Kevin Jodrey he is a cloning expert , takes hundreds of clones a day , & holds rare genetics for growers & breeders

Definitely possible RSR.

 

I like taking cuttings a little into flower for the resulting plants with many branches - have a read up on monster cropping.

 

I won't be taking cuts off my outdoors until end of January.

I've taken cuttings way later than that and they rooted fine. Some strains I have grown have kept producing roots for at least 5 weeks into flowering.

[itchybromusic]

yep strains are like a box of chocolates , never know which one ya gonna get 

will say the healthier the mum , healthier the clone , quicker rooting

Thanks for the replies every-one Ill take a cut tonight then I reckon.
