I had some nice plants pop up from seed in January, so I did the diligent thing and took cuttings, 11 in total. All the cuttings rooted straight away and as I live farther north than most, we have 14 hours daylight in mid April, so I put the cuttings under a big south facing window and thought that would keep them vegging into the summer while I switched to 12/12 in the enclosed grow space. The girls under 12/12 are flowering strongly, more so than the cuttings, but the cuttings are flowering too 
A while back I had an amnesia haze which was a cutting and I made her stop flowering and start growing again, but she was so twisty with hard wood in places, it wasn’t possible to take cuttings from her, and that was my plan.
Is there anything I can do other than leave the cuttings under the window? They’ve 15 hours daylight now and we get over 18 hours daylight in June. I thought they would change back to vegging before now, they’ve had no flowering nutes or enhancers btw.
Any comments or advice is welcome.

I would try and give them at least 18 hours of light if not 24 if I wanted to revegg.
The new growth might look strange but let it grow out and will look normal 5 leaf blades in time and they will be cloneable.

Are they photoperiod genetics?
If yes, put them under a 24hr light regimen until they return to a strong veg state.
If they’re auto flowers, nothing you can do AFAIK. I learned about autos the hard way.

I didn’t think about auto’s but he did say cuttings
My 1st auto I had no clue what it was, so I took cuttings as usual. They rooted fine but continued flowering. I’m like, WTH? Hit the forums and found out about autos. Turns out I was living under a rock, lol.

They are under a window, so I don’t have a grow light to adjust, but I could pull down the blinds and turn on the normal room light all night, then open the blinds in the morning. That would give them 24 hours light, thanks for the idea. I’m surprised they are continuing to flower more with every day, even as the days get longer. It’s now 15 hours from sunrise to sunset and the weather has been sunny too.
And, no they aren’t Autos although I thought two of them were, until they didn’t flower for weeks and then months. I must have got my seeds mixed up, they could be either white widow or amnesia haze, I lost track of where those seeds were and tbh they look like one of each.
It will take many weeks before it will fully revegetate.
I also suspect they won’t get enough light in the window.
Get a cheap LED light off Amazon, you can get by with something cheap in vegg.

It’s working already! The tallest Starkiller has definitely taken a growth spurt of leaves at the top, the Royal Domina isn’t far behind. I’m going to guess here, I think the rest will follow. The two smallest (a Bubblegum and a Kush) didn’t start to flower, so they will give good cuttings and I like this bubblegum. I only remembered to leave the light on all night once, but there’s not been a cloud here in days and I think that helped, they get direct sunlight through a huge roof window, better light, fewer nosey parkers, it seems to be enough if it isn’t cloudy. I already have a room with LED lights filled with the plants I took the cuttings from. They are 3 weeks flowering now, hitting the lights, I raised them up this morning. The best plants of all were from my own seeds, Blueberry pollenated by Honey Cream. Freshest is best when it comes to seeds.

I believe autos have a wide array of traits an characteristics. Ive never tried to clone one but…i did “re bud” idk if thats correct term but i would cut leave a few leaves and let it grow back out. Done this 3 times before it give up on me 
. Now it wasnt very big really only one bud…but that kinda challenges a lot ive read about them

How are your plants doing? Ard they starting to reveg? I agree with @og_growgirl_sfv if you can give them as much light as possible to stop flowering. It will take some time. Currently doing this with a Carolina reaper x plant.

Yes, the lights are on at night and it’s definitely helping. If I’d done that from the start they wouldn’t have started flowering I think. Anyway, that tallest one looks like it barely thought of flowering now, it only had a few preflowers and switched back quickly. The others have stopped producing buds and those little white nugs at the apex of each plant are looking greener this morning. The buds don’t go away the plant just grows leaves around them, so far none have become twisty, you know, like when you nearly kill a seedling and it survives as a weird mutant that smokes just as well.
How far into flowering was your Carolina reaper before you tried switching back? Mine had only just started.
Oh man we bloomed her for a year now we’re putting her in veg. She’s coming out of it. Lights are off now. I will send you a picture later. She’s narly looking
This was the cuttings in mid march, just starting, all survived.
So this was the cuttings on Monday (five days back)

Here they are today, Saturday, looking greener again imo with light left on at night.
Should I cut off the flowers? Would that reduce flowering hormones in the plant right now?
