Cloning/flowering question

My buddy wants to know if you can clone the smaller unproductive shoots whenever you harvest your plant or if its too late in the life cycle.

Seems like a waste to pitch the popcorn shoots.

bump bump!

It is possible, but not easy. Give it a shot.

You could also re-veg the bottom portion of it after harvest. That might be the easier way to go about it.

you can take clones at any time

yes, you most certainly can. http://www.420magazine.com/forums/seeds-clones-strains/56864-what-flowering-clone.html

Do you think the bud(popcorn) should be cut off before cloning?
