What's the best way to save good genetics?

Hi everyone,
was just wondering if anyone has good ideas about saving genetics from one season to grow in the next?
i have pure feminised strains of Arians haze, strawberry haze, and Nevils haze from the greenhouse growing outdoors at the moment. And I don't want to lose the plants at the end of the season. Is the only way I can keep these going to take clones and veg them under lights until next spring rolls around? What will happen if I harvest the bud but leave as much greenery on the main plants and try to get them to re-veg inside? I don't expect seeds from any of them being feminised, and would rather not pollinate them with any other "mystery" strains.
Cheers for any ideas.

if they are still not in flower take clones
if they have been flowering for a week or two take clones.

take at least a few from each

get them to root ( if some dont make it toss them)

then keep them under lower light somewhere and let them veg

if you dont have a large space.....you can alway trim them down whenever....it will always grow back
so you should now have 1 of each vegging.
keep them as mothers

only give them fert when they are needing it (yellowing, deficient, etc) otyherwise the will grow liek hell

when next season come around take some clones and root and youroff to ur next crop outside

you can keep them in tiny pots so they get rootbound and wont grow very big....they will grow tall tho....when that happens....cut the main stem (top)....to make it more bushy....as the new ones grow up snip them and so on so you keep it a tiny bush.
you dont need them to grow big you just need them to survive and be content

make some CS spray and use it on one bud site and it will produce seeds and you can save those for next year

Well, as mentioned you've got a few choices:

A. Take clones, and maintain them until next season. If you like you can convert one or more of the clones into their own respective "mother" plants to take more clones for next season. Note that it IS possible to clone flowering plants, its just more difficult than with plants in vegetative state. Also note that clones don't take much space or energy to maintain. You can literally keep 6-10 of them in an area one foot square with just a small fluorescent bulb to keep them going.

B. Don't completely harvest the plants; leave some lower branches and bud sites intact. Then you can return the plants to vegetative growth with long-duration lighting indoors and reuse them next season (or take clones). Yes. . .this does work. What happens is that every bud site on the plant will start growing vegetatively, creating quite a bushy plant.

This can even be done outdoors in your greenhouse over the winter IF the plants don't freeze.

Trying to self-fertilize by inducing hermaphroditidism with colloidal silver is probably possible, though maybe not practical.
