I cloned while the plant was in flower? What will happen?

been pretty curious as to what would happen if I clone a flowering plant?

I have done it, takes a little longer but it works fine. Maybe up to 20 days.

Depends on how long the plant was flowering before you cloned it. Either way, the clone will have to go through a period of going back to vegetative state before it starts growing normally again. This is called "re-veg".

I've done it up to week six just fine

It's a technique called Monster cropping.

so thats what monster cropping is. why is it monster? seems kinda harsh, lol.

It will reveg and root.

By the way the easiest and best ways to reveg people are aero hydro units and coco. Holy shit is there a time difference. Just know your ppms and strain.

I did it about 5 weeks into flowering with a small indoor bud. I rooted it in a solo cup using powdered rooting hormone and watered with upstart in a medium of 100% per-lite. I used a clear plastic cup as a humidity dome and placed it inside an old Phototron growth chamber with 24 hours of light. The flower it self is high in phosphorus which is also what roots love so small buds root fast. Mine rooted in 1 week. I transplanted it into a 2 gallon pot with jungle growth potting soil and switched to hi phosphorus bat guano tea. I immediately switched back to a 8 hour light cycle this time using direct sunlight on my patio. I put her in a dark closet every night maintaining the flowering cycle. Cannabis loves cool air-conditioning at night in the summer. No bugs and low humidity. She grew into a single foot long cola that i harvested about 4 weeks after transplant. This particular strain had a high calyx to leaf ratio so she was gorgeous with lots of red and orange pistils. Very fun experiment that yielded me about 20 grams of sweet dank.

You mean something like this?



Don't mess around on your plants when the timer is due to kick off.

The bottom four in the middle came from it.





It was a feminized seed, here is the plant further along.





Fungus gnats had me toss the bunch out, quite disappointing. Tried saving one by stripping everything off it and replanting. Never took. I'll have to try it again some day. This was my first go round growing so I was just learning.

LOL no not like that hahaha. Try outdoors it's easier on newbies.

Too far north. Snow is on the ground long before the plants finish. Mine were doing fine outside but I took them in and all hell broke loose.

Basically it shoots out branches every which way without you topping the branches.

In regards to monster cropping, non topped and non-pruned LST is tops for yield in my opinion. It's not a new technique by any stretch of the imagination either. Protects against wind storms and rippers too. Outdoors once they reach about 24 inches tall (without pruning) just tie her over 1/2 her height and keep repeating that process as she grows. Clear fishing line and a big hook wrapped in electrical or duct tape staked into the ground. Point her top north and pinch off leaves that block the sun from budding sites early in the day by afternoon she will reorient herself facing the sun. I do this with clones and seedlings. I'm at 36 degrees north latitude and have put out tiny clones in full sun Aug. 1st and harvest late Oct to early Nov. I get about 8 or 9 zips each of manicured bud. Monster cropping gives you many small nugs whereas LST gives u long colas because it prevents the plant from shading itself. The entire plant is exposed to full sun. If mold or bud rot is a problem where you grow then the smaller nugs are better.
