Is it too late to clone?

So how late into flowering can you clone? What happens if you try to clone at say 5 or 6 weeks into it?

It will take forever to take root and reveg. Personally, I wouldn't suggest it, but thats just me. Why u wantin to clone so late?

This is my first grow. Started with a pathetic light set-up and then started flower with near pathetic light, then 430 HPS for last few weeks. Still learnin man.
I got some clones very slowly starting in an Aerogarden, but I figured out I nuted them too soon and they burnt a little but finally some(little) new growth. I really want to try and grow a new mom from these. They are really starting to root now so maybe the new foliage will look alot heathier. I had pinched the bud sites on the clones I cut but left most of those darker green bud leaves. will these likely produce inferior plamts?

Not sure what u mean about how u did the clones, but u wanna leave most of the top and middle leaves and strip off the lower growth and cover with rooting gel/powder. If they're rotting though, then u should be in there, keep em on a veggin light cycle and u can grow them into new plants. They shouldn't be inferior less somethin goes wrong, but clones are an exact replica of the 'mother' it was taken from so they shouldbe just as good.

Hey fdd, u done the cheese before? Was actually shoppin around last night, and that sure looks like some 'good ass 'cheese' really caught my eye for some reason.
