Help Super Chopping flowering clones

[hapgrowy]

heres the deal, im growing outdoors and everyday i getting more and more weary about something happening to my baby, so im SPREADING her out

heres two before i seperated them

i have taken 4 clones from ma dukes who happens to be in her 3rd week of flower, now i need to know if i have to put them back into veg (im assuming so due to the fact they need to grow roots now rather than flowers) or can i just let them hopefully ride it out with my sun schedule (about 12-13 hrs of light)
Temps fluctuate from day mid 80s to night mid 70s, humidity goes from mid 60% in day and about 80% at night

It this is at all successful, im debating if i should go ahead and chop the whole mother out into 12 or more clones...

ok here is where im really stretching it, what if i were to chop the whole top (18in down) and replant, has any one done this or heard of this of even been warned against it....

(note: the lower right branch in the pic was taken as a clone... could i cut her off right below the first bend and be succesful, with trimming up a bit first of course)

all help is ....

Bit of "virgins giving advice about sex" here as I've never cloned but when I've asked about lighting schedules for clones I have been told to put them under a 24/0 light schedule for a few weeks to help them develop roots. Clones are very weak and you will want to baby them as much as possible, I don't think outdoors would be a good idea but before you take that as gospel let an experienced cloner chime in

Stay with the lower portions of the plant to take cuttings. Definatly move indoors to control enviornment. Check out advice for cloning on site ie; trim 30% of each leaf, use clone gel, don't over mist if at all you got to make them root to survive.

I am currently growing indoors. I got a couple of plants that a friend of mine had, as he could no longer provide for them. He had them vegging for 10 weeks under a 250 mh and they got 4' tall. I didnt have the hight to flower such a tall plant. I cut them in half and used some rooting gel and some rock wool and put them in the shower with a mister and a couple cfls and in 2 weeks i moved them back into the flowering room. They did great! As for switching back to veg from flowering i have been told that will work too
