Check out "air layering". It will drastically improve your success rate. Even with hard to clone strains. The ancients have been doing it for 10s of thousands of years.
You can take as big of clones as you want. I've rooted clones over 3 ft tall. My freshly cut/rooted clones are usually bigger than the plants most people start flowering, lol.
Ever since trying it, i'll never look back. All my DWC/Aero/fogponic/you name it cloners just sit collecting dust. My entire high tech propagation center pretty much unused.
You can literally keep vegging the clone as its still hooked to the plant. No worries about it shriveling. Even if your air layers medium dried out, the branch will heal itself again.
I even hook up an IV bag to the moms, and gravity drip to each air layer through a multi port manifold hanging from the IV bag (my buddies mom was a nurse and i got hooked up). That way I'm not having to water them with an industrial syringe everyday.
I've even cut pots, taped them back together around the branch, and filled with coco. Kept the plants hooked up to the mother plant and vegged them out for a few extra weeks before cutting away.
Also, I'm pretty sure they would consider your mother plant with all the clones attached as one plant. Multiple root systems but still the same plant. Kind of a grey area in the laws for some states. Meaning, you can keep your plant count down while still having a fresh batch of clones ready to replace with, without having all the extra plants. Big clones too, like almost ready to flip ones. Whatever size you want, just try not to take more than 50% of the mother plant at once.
I've saved 75% of massive DWC plants with root rot, by turning it into a bunch of smaller plants, right before it would die anyway.
