i find that the clones keep the mom up at night playing with the older kids in veg and try to separate them all so the mom has a break. 
if you have the room, and you're keeping your mom and clones on the same light schedule, sure it will be okay. that's why i don't take a lot of clones because i don't have a separate area for them and need to keep them all together in a little tent. good luck on your grow!

Thanks guys. I forgot to mention that they will be under a 400 watt hps light. Will it hurt my clones?

U might need to diffuse the light over ur clones that 400 is intense, clones dont need much light, ur trying to get them to form roots,photosynthesis wont be a factor until u establish a root system.Ur question is a yes have cloned,vegged & had a momma in the same space with no problems.How far is ur light above ur clone station?

Thanks, haven't setup my tent yet but it's 4x4x6.5 so I'm guessing light will be like 5 feet from the floor I think.

u might be ok with the clones if have a shadowy corner in there if not 100w cfl (not equivalant) will work great over clones at about 10 inches till root then u can lower

Why are you keeping a mother plant under HPS?

Because I only have 1 veg tent, and I bought it to get my plants out my closet into a better environment. Including my moms. And I won't replace a 400watt hps for cfls for vegging

You use Metal Halide, not HPS, to veg. But go ahead. She won't stretch like hell.

Your right. I forgot there was a mh bulb with the tent also. I will use that for veg.
Thanks. As for the clones I'll just create a shadowy area for them in corner.
Thanks guys

I used to keep mine just off the floor hiding in the inevitable shade under the large plants. They do NOT like direct light but diffused blue light from a MH is usable to them when they start to actually grow.
