I'm 4 weeks into flower. Plant is super healthy and bushy. Want to thin it down. Can I take some cuttings to clone? Should I put the cuttings back to 18/6 or keep them at 12/12?

Hello. Yes you can take clones almost anytime in the plants life, except the end. They need to go back to 18/6. It is best to take clones just before you switch to flower. the more a plant goes in and out of flowering it looses a bit of vigor. Most strains can go back and forth only a few times before it's not that strong anymore. Also beware that the clone taken in flowering will show weird mutated leaves for a while and it won't be ready for flowering again for at least a month before you get normal leaves out of it and it's gone back to veg. There is a big struggle with the hormones when you take clones in flowering and wanting them to go to veg.. So expect some strange growth before going back to veg. Good luck. Chuck.

Thanks for the input, y'all! Might give this cloning a shot as soon as I make another small cloning chamber with humidity control :)

Yes you can, and Flowering plants root faster but take a bit to re-veg and turn around again. Taking cuts on the lower nodes tend to be better candidates for cloning. It also helps if you take them before you plan on fertilizing them. Good Luck!

You can technically take cuttings from both vegging and flowering plants. However, cuttings taken from a flowering plant may take longer to root and tend to exhibit slower growth. You'll need to be revert them back to veg for about 2–3 weeks before you can flip them into flower again... so go for it!! Good looking grow, btw!
