Can u clone a branch that already has preflowers on it?

Ive got a few branches i want to clone from my mother plant. It just officially developed the white hairs verifying it is a female yesterday.

The branches i want to clone are large, and have preflowers at the top. If i cut and use them will they be able to root? i am putting them in a 5gal bucket, 8 site aeroponic cloner.

sure ive rooted buds before, its best to use shorter clones though cut the whole branch then trim off the top 3-5 inches or so and use that. or just use the tip

a branch snapped from the main stem from lst (oops). I want to use the top of that branch as a clone, it was one of the main colas of the plant

sound plausible? the branch was about 16" long, i cut the bottom 12" off and saved just the top. Trimmed off all of the huge fanleaves.

You know you can tape branches back on if they snap off?

You can, the bigger the bud the longer it will take/harder it will be to do but preflowers you should not have any issues.

If you are vegging for 18+ hours and you are growing from seed, the plant will shoot out pistils if its a female cause its telling you she is mature now. Now when you clone during flowering stage, you will have to bring it back to a veg stage and it will go back to veg but goes takes time. When its done re-vegging it turns into a beast with insane side branching. I am always re-vegging, just got to have the patience and time. Do you have some pics of what you are cloning?

Peace
