Depends on what you mean by best time. Are you taking clones off a plant you intend to flower soon? Or is this a mother plant you plan on keeping in veg after the clone branch is removed?

[Toker1]

You can take a cut as soon as you have a branch with several nodes on it.

[slickdawg]

does the branch i cut have to have leaves on each node

[Toker1]

I want to say yes...but if you had a picture of what you are talking about it would be more clear in my mind.

here’s a couple pics. hoping to use one of the ones on the vary bottom!

[Toker1]

I see what you mean now. There were once leaves there, but now removed. Yes, this is ok. You want to remove the nodes from the bottom of the clone anyway. So no worries if that’s already done.

Here is a shot of one of my clones to give you a visual. You can see in the second picture how the lower nodes have been removed.

[Toker1]

I remove all the lower ones. Leave the top 3-4 max. I have removed everything besides the top before and it still cloned well.

ok i think i might have it now. now for the mother how long do i have to wait to put mother into flowering 12/12 after the cut??

If you are only removing one branch... she will recover fine and you can flip anywhere from a few days to right away. If you are taking a large amount of clippings, anywhere from a few days to a few weeks depending on how much of the plant you are removing and how finicky the phenotype is.
