Yeah, you can take a clone.

You'll need to read up on cloning but you make the cut at a 90-degree angle mid-way between nodes with a razor blade.
However
If your plant has been outside for awhile it is flowering. This presents 2 problems.
-Clones taken from flowering plants have a lower rate of success (growing roots) than from plants in veg. It takes longer too.
and
-know that you'll lose whatever bud the part of the plant you make a clone from would yield.
I don't think you have a shot at putting a clone outside in a 3--4 weeks, prob. as long as it would take the clone to root. By then it's mid-Oct, and it takes 2 months from that point to finish which puts it close to X-mas. Plants flowered that late generally don't produce quality bud do to short daylight lengths.
It would be pointless imo to take a clone unless you have an indoor growroom set-up.

There are too many variables to give you an estimate of yield. If you post a pic with something like a can of coke in the pic for comparison I could take a stab at giving an est.
