Toke for life....

In nature a plant will die after flowering if left alone. If you bring it back inside and put it on a vegetive light cycle it will revert to veg state and when you feel you want to flower it again give it 12 hours of dark everyday. You just need to leave some popcorn buds on when you harvest(and as many fan leaves as possible)(i personally leave most of the popcorn buds on, the more little buds you leave the more incredible branching youll see, and popcorn buds aint nothing great anyway.)

you can take clones from a flowering plant if you don't have the option of bringing her back inside to control the light cycle.

That is also correct and a good plan b if you really wanna save this one plant, but i'd take the clones asap, in my experience late in flowering clones have a pretty low survival ratio compared to ones cut earlier into flowering. I've done alot of re-vegging and cloning flowering plants, they always turn into these unbelievable bushy plants when they revert to veg, which i like alot.

That's good to hear Dark - I am attempting re-vegging for the first time this season, I took clones "just in case" but i'd love to reveg what I have 'cos they're from seed. Yay bushes!
