Yes I've read racefan's article. It's a good one and he put a lot of time into it. I take clones from flowering plants when I'm over my plant count limit. For example, if I want to hold on to a strain, but don't want to have too many plants on hand, I'll wait until that plant has been in flower for a good two weeks, then I'll take a single clone from it.
For my perpetual grow, it doesn't work out, however. Typically, I take a clone right when I go to flower, then it has two months to grow large enough to be ready to flower and produce a lb. If you put your plant in flower and then wait two weeks to take a clone from it, it will not be nearly big enough for flower when mama is done. Clones from flowering plants stall out after rooting and take a few weeks to "re-veg" and get back to normal growth. That said, there is something about the flowering clones that does make the branch very rapidly, once they start taking off!
If you have the time and the space, I would suggest doing a side by side test to see which one gets up to size faster. FWIW, in my experience, it seems indica dominant clones don't do as well when taken during flowering, but that may just be coincidence.
My goal is always to have the plant as large as possible when going to flower. It is better to have to give it a hair cut, then for it to not be big enough, and end up with a wimpy yield. So I say, whatever works!
Newbee growers, seem to have more problems getting the flowering clones to root.
