Can i clone the top?

I have cloned topped tips before on an outdoor grow and they worked out. granted they where still in veg. Took forever to root and when I gave it to my parents to grow out it only reached 1/3rd its potential. I still think lower cutting make better applicate to cloning then the tips. From what I have red flowering plants will root faster but take longer to switch back to veg, So I'm guessing combination of "tip of plant" and "in flower" it will take its sweet time but it is possible. Try the tips and a few lower cutting and see what happens I soak mine in water with a micro amount of liquid feed. Once they make little bumps on the stalk, that's where roots will form, they go into moist seedling medium. I feed them once they make some roots and may top off medium with some composted matter.. Good Luck!
