Cuttings didn't stop flowering after separation from mom

Basically, I probably waiting too long to take these cuts. The mothers were about a week into flowering at the time. The clones have been getting 24 hours of light for about a month and still don't have any new growth that doesn't show flowers. I can't post a picture now, so please take my word that these cuttings have single flowers showing at all their nodes. The cuttings are about four inches long and have obviously rooted well because they are a great deal bushier than they started.

My question is, do I leave the clones on a vegetative light cycle longer so that they'll eventually stop flowering or should I just go ahead and plant them in a Sea of Green?

Could always monster crop `em.... which would mean re-veg of the clones.. let them grow out in veg, then re-flower as appropriate.. you'll get nice tight node spacing and bushy ladies that would be perfect for SCRoG.

They are converting back to veg...
Sometimes it takes a while ...
You can put them into your sea of green if like...

I have a friend that had a cutting from a plant that was showing signs of budding and would not grow, he top the cutting, and it started to shoot up. i'm just saying what happened, don't take as gospel.

I did top off one of the cuttings to see if that would help. Thanks.

it's gonna take about a month for them to get to reveg state and after that their yield will be about 70% of original yield. all in all you're better off getting new seeds and sprouting them, it would actually be faster than revegging flowering clones. I speak from personal experience.

Wow, I had no idea about the lower yield. Thanks dude.

Anytime, and yup.. it's a tried/true method that's quite solid. I've never seen a loss in yield like the above poster mentioned, but I guess it could also be condition/strain specific and intolerence for being flip/flopped twice over.
