Sounds like the same thing, just cutting clones at different times.

You're re-vegging a flowering clone, and I'm re-vegging the entire plant and taking a vegetative clone.

I tried to re-veg a flowering clone, but my rooting gel didn't arrive in time.

Yeah, ive thought about doing exactly that but space wise i physically cant and the method i used worked ao its what i did, sorry for all the confusion, but if you need help with clones i got you, but i hope you get the answers your looking for.

I think yours is monster cropping and mine is just re-vegging and then cutting clones. But we can call it what it really is: Playing god.

No problem, stoners get confused, it's part of the lifestyle. Thanks for the input too, at least now I know what I'm doing, conceptually at least. Don't feel like I'm poking around in the dark as much.

Yup, that was me. Damn dry sift. Thanks for the input, it made me think about it differently.

I think with clones most growers agree that the buds from a clone are very similar to the mom if not exactly the same. It's the environmental factors that make the biggest difference in bud quality.
However, it's true that a plant which has been vegged for a really long time (for example a year) tends to be less vibrant when it comes to vegetative growth. At least as far as the first 5-10 generations it seems like if you keep taking a clone of a clone when the plant starts getting old, it seems like just picking the healthiest clones as the new mom is all it takes to reset the plant.
I do think the environment of the mom has an effect on her growth and it wouldn't surprise me if some characteristics drifted over time with clones of clones because even though the the genes will stay exactly the same, their expression is different based on their environment (for example a plant grown under LED lights often look different from that plant grown under HPS).
I don't think I've ever heard anyone doing multiple generations with monstercropped plants, but I think you'd probably be okay at least for a generation or two, and probably more But if you do that I hope you share your results with the rest of us!

I'll make sure to share, and I'll get some photos. This is pretty interesting. And if it grows legs and runs away, I'll make sure to mention that too.

Thanks for the insight. It'll be interesting to see what happens.
