I have an idea

Ok so I have heard people ask if you can take cutting from a flowering plant and root them and grow them. Well I have wonder this as well and have the ability to try and find out so I am.

Ok these cutting where taken 2-3 days ago from 2 flowering super kush plants 3 weeks into flowering.

Did you mean to add pictures?

Well, hate to break it to you, but it's been done. This is the first step in what's called "monster cropping". You're in for a ride.

To try to explain concisely... You see on your bud, the little white hairs? Those are called pistils, and they are coming out of what's called calyxes. In between each calyx on the bud, is tissue material that once would have been a stem. When you revert from flowering back to vegetative, it tells the plant, "Hey I gotta grow again," and so all those little spots between the calyxes elongate into their own branches. Thus, dozens of calyxes, dozens of branches.

It's very useful to make a "mother" plant since you'll have an abundance of branches to clone. Growing out such a plant can be more difficult since you'll have to pay more attention to training, otherwise you may end up with a lot of popcorn buds, but some people have used this method to train for more yield.

This is how I run a perpetual grow.. Check out my journal for more info

Yeah I agree all should go well for you. I have cloned strains farther into flower then that with success. Some I didn't clon tell they started showing something special. One thing I noticed with the really late ones. They rooted fine but getting new growth to start was hard. If you take them to long into flower you have to root and regenerate them. Half of them didn't die but didn't start growing again in the time I had to offer them. It was over a month in soil with no new growth. Still they didn't die I just gave up on then.

This Monster Crop was taken at day 33 of flower, grown under two horizontal 315W CMH's.
