Successful cloning after 2nd week into flowering - repost

Ok it was about 2 weeks after I started flowering 12/12 and I only had two plants that I knew were females, so in order to keep the grow flowing, I took clones (3 ea), from the 2 different plants. My question is, now that 4 out of 6 have rooted, and I just put them into grow bags, (First time using those) should I just give the babies water, or should I spray mist as well. I also have a cool mist unit, but I'm not using it because I don't know if that will be too much for the babies.... What would be a good height to move plants over to flowering...any comments, suggestions or help will be appreciated. Thanks

For future reference, don't clone flowering plants. That is not a good practice.

No need to mist, just water. Give them a mild nute solution when they're established.

Thanks for the info "Homebrewer" I gave them a little nute's when I transplanted them, the same amount I was giving them while I was waiting for the root structure to grow a little bigger, I was using some FF 1/4 strength, following the directions on their grow chart.........Thanks again for your advice

whay better and busher plant when clones cut from a flowering plant.. i do all the time..

Was wondering why U shouldnt clone after U start flowering. doesnt iit make sense so U know U are cloning a female instead of a male... unless of course U have femmed seeds.

You also rip all the leaves off your plants which is a practice that no one else agrees with, including Jorge Cervantes

A plant that is 3-4 weeks old will have preflowers making its sex clear. Flowering a plant, then cloning it, then forcing that clone back into a veg state is just not a good practice. It's stressful on your cutting at an already stressful time. Sure, it can be done. But you can also rip all the leaves off your plants without killing them, but that doesn't mean that's a good practice either

Ive taken a clone from a plant that was 7 weeks into flower and it rooted, took a loooong time but it went on to produce many clones. I did it to save the strain in my grow, i wouldnt suggest it as a normal way o cloning, but in an emergency yeah it can be done.

Thanks Mygirls for the advice, I just did it this time because It was my only plant I had, and I didn't want to wait to start all over from seed again to find out what sex it was....so at least I know there already female's.....and that's a good thing....... I'll keep one for a mother and flower out the rest.........

Just imagine how much bigger they'd be if you hadn't stressed your plants so much

For comparison purposes, where are the pictures of the plants that weren't mutilated? I'm not here to argue about this as experienced growers already know what should and shouldn't be done. I was just busting you chops because cloning a flowering plant is also not a 'best practice'.
