Hey guys. Started 6 Northern Lights in DWC. Feminized seed, so all girls. 5 were placed outside as I only have room to flower one plant at a time.
Decided to grow the other 5 outside. It's currently going into summer here. However, for some reason, the five plants decided to flower. My question is, can or should I cut the flowers and simply allow them to return to vegetative growth or leave the flowers as they are and proceed as normal?
Half the plants outside are in Coco. The other half in soil. Never used coco before so I'm experimenting. Nutrients being used is 2 part Dutch Passion.
Never mess with a flowering plant! Flowering plants have momentum that you don't want to disrupt. Don't transplant or top/train at least a week before you start the flower cycle either. The only thing I do to my plants in flower is trim the lower weaker branches.
If you want those plants back once they're done you need to leave a little bit of bud/leaf on them and throw them under 18 hours of light a day to re-veg them. You could do it at any time to reveg it but you probably want to see the bud off it first to see if its worth keeping.

You can take clones 2 weeks into flowering in an indica dom or hybrid. Maybe 3 or 4 weeks in a sativa.
The reason you can't take clones late in flower is there's a lack of auxins in the plant tissues so the cuttings won't root. The difference in time in flowering you can take the clones is mostly dependent on how quickly the plant shifts to flowering which usually directly correlates to flowering time. YMMV.
How many hours of light did they start flowering in? including low light. I'm wondering if maybe you got auto flowering strains and werent supposed to
I think he was just saying that the plants had enough bud to cut and smoke and not that he wanted to take cuttings. not sure. For some reason my cuttings taken in early flowering have rooted better than stuff that never went into flowering. They go a little crazy with nodes though and seem to branch out everywhere possible, which may not be too bad a thing.
