She's about 8 months old and ready to be harvested!! I want to try and clone from her but I'm not quite sure where to make the cuts? I've read that you should take only the top of the plant but then again,,, there are a lot of buds on the bottom of this plant. Could someone please direct me toward some pics... or maybe give me some first hand advise. thanks

...sorry.. I think I worded my question wrong. This should probably be in growing indoors, but since I've already posted it here and have gotten a reply... here goes. What I really need to know is where to cut my mature lady in hopes of being able to get her back into veg. stage to take a clone from her. I tried this with my last plant and she died. I think I cut the plant back too severely and did'nt leave enough foliage behind. That's what I'd like to see a picture of,( an older plant that has been cut back). My plant is only a little over 3 feet tall and has about 30 big fat juicy buds on it ! Should I leave any buds at all on her, or just leave behind leaves ? And yes I have looked around but have not been able to find a picture of a plant that has recently been cut back!

If your intencion is to reveg a plant to clone (not a good principle!), you should leave some of the lower buds on the plant; i believe they are going to take care of the plant needs till she's ready to grow again
You should also feed her high N nutes during reveg, blood meal would be a good choice but high N guano will do as well...

When i tryed reveg, i left about 30% of my yeld in the plants (2) and they both reveged successfull in a month or so, but i'm not really used to do it.

Keep in mind that naturaly, the plant would be dead so a question for you; is she really an outstanding female that you can't lose by any price?
Cause if she's not, my advice would be to let her go and go looking for a special one you can clone BEFORE flowering

Wolf, I just went downstairs and got a good look at her,,, I left about 20% of the buds on her, just around the bottom mostly. I didn't cut the top out , like I've read in some sites. I just trimmed all the bud off around the top and middle and left what leaf was there on. It will be interesting to see if this works or not , believe me,, she's worth it ! I've got her under 400 watts of hps.24 on. Will that mess up what bud I've got left? Considering its been under 12 and 12??? I don't guess it really matters anyway, I have only one light and I have babies comming on . Their priority!

Well, so far it's working! She's got about 5 new shoots, their all pretty much around the bottom of the plant. The new growth is between 3 and 5 inches long. I think I'm going to wait for the stems to get a bit bigger before I try to clone.The leaves on them are of a nice size but the stems look too weak to survive the shock of cutting. Every one keep their fingers crossed for me.
