You can reveg them if you don't chop all the leaves off, or you can take clones. It will take a while for the clones to establish from a flowering plant, but it can be done. If you have the space, I'd just reveg the plant(s) and you can take clones from the mother.

when you say leaves do you mean the budding sites or the fan leaves? also i should just cut the buds down when ready and just put it back into veg lighting cycle?

you can surely clone after it starts to flower, a lot of people think you can't, or that it takes longer, but actually there are many benefits from cloning from flowering mom's...
dark destruction420 used to have a really good read on the subject.. i'll look around and see if i can find it..

Just chop off the as much as you can but leave enough leaves for the plant to do carry out photosynthesis. It only takes a few leaves and you will soon see new leaves that look like giant cotyledons when the reveg starts to take place.

I think the "rule of thumb" is no later than 21 days into 12/12, but I really don't see the difference.you can surely clone after it starts to flower, a lot of people think you can't, or that it takes longer, but actually there are many benefits from cloning from flowering mom's...

if you take cuttings they will take a lot of time to be ready for flower. add another 2-3weeks for it to reveg properly

If you want to have a good reveg make sure you leave 6 or 8 buds on the bottom of the plant to restart new growth.

I did it, 7 weeks in to flower. Roots showed at 2 weeks. New growth didn't start for another 3 weeks. It's all about patience. This was a special tropical sativa that had no seeds and there was not another like it, so I made the effort. Otherwise, I wouldn't have wasted my time.
Also, being a sativa probably had a lot to do with my success.

Yeah for sure cloning is one way, and when u do harvest u could just cut off all the nice big buds off ur plant and leave the smaller popcorn bud sites alone then just reveg ur plant. Then u can also try to make ur plant go hermie after ur harvest so it will produce seeds, that one I'm not too sure of I wanna try it myself with a plant I have that I'm tryin to clone as well. But from what I've read if a plant is left in flowering too long without being pollinated by a male as a last attempt to survive the end of the season it will try to produce seeds, now Im not to sure if that will only work in larger main bud sites, like maybe u need to leave a larger bud site on the plant to increase ur chances of it producing a seed not sure myself like I said. And u can always use that GA3 or collodial silver but its too late into flowering for that from what it sounds like.
I'm pretty sure he's aware of that option. But that wasn't part of the question.
