I have two romulan grapefruit that I grew in my greenhouse and they stretched a quite a bit. The lowest internodes are about a foot from soil
I think they may be hard to re veg?
I have a mother plant I have used for cloning for a year now and would like to make seeds. At first I thought is would clone the flowering plants and flip one to make using silver thiosulfate. I cut clones while they were in preflower (about two weeks ago) and the clones died. The only clones that lived were the previously cloned plant.
These two in the greenhouse are flowered about three weeks? Can I flip the clones (that are not even rooted yet) in time to pollinate these two greenhouse females? It's getting cold here although a hard frost is a few weeks away.
Is there another way? Should I just give up and use another plants pollen? I would really like to keep this line going. Of course I can always buy more seeds.
What would you do?

Make the clones root then flip wood be what I wood do.

Flowering clones without roots.... that's reveg and without roots doubt it wood work very well.

How quickly can I get them to show balls? Theoretically of course..

You need to have a viable plant with roots first. Once you have that then you can start your reversing procedure. Depends on how you do it on the timing.
