How do I switch from Flower to Veg?

I want to take 12 clones off a mother that is flowering right now. I hope I can switch it to veg, and get some good clones of my plant. Anyone know about how long it takes to switch, and should I cut off all the buds first?

how far is she into flower? depending on that if shes been flowering for a while why dont you wait it out and let her finish then just re-veg her then take clones when shes started growing again, or if shes only just started flowering maybe go ahead and wack her under 24 hour light and she will start vegging after a couple weeks.

hope that helps

do you have any pics?

I've taken clones from a flowering plant and re-vegged them. Do a search for 'monstercropping' - I think that's what the technique is informally called. I did it mainly to experiment and the results were interesting. It did add several weeks to veg because the clones had to get back into veg mode, and in the meantime they were putting out weird mutant leaves and generally looked less happy than my other plants. After they got back into veg though, they got super branchy and bushy.

I'd only do it if you need to save the genetics but don't have any in veg right now. I've never tried reveging after harvest, but I might go ahead and try it with this monster 6' tall Buddha's Sister that I have in flower now.
