Mother/clones or mainlining, how to proceed?

I am not sure how to proceed and I am searching for some advice. Currently I am growing two plants that I have mainlined for 8 colas. They are going into flip next week. While I was growing out the main plants, I had to trim them down. I had read that you can just cut the top off, and stick it in coco with a plastic bag over the top and they will grow. I thought to myself I might as well give it a go.

And grow they did! Here are the clones currently. The roots a big and fat and drain these pots of water twice a day. I've got them under a 125watt cfl grow light. This was my first time cloning. I have never grown a cloned plant.



I would like to do one more grow (personal grower as I grow one to two times per year and a half). My flowering area (2.6 x 2.6 x 5.3) is busy and I can't use that until Christmas time ~ 10 weeks. How should I grow out from here? My makeshift veg area is about twice the height than the plants are currently (I have the pots on old books so they are closer to the light).

Should I trim it down and mainline these as well? (worried about veging in my space for 10 weeks).
should I make these two into mother plants for the next few weeks and clone them?

I would clone the hell out of them. You should open a cloning thread with your success.Wait until you start getting questions about that. Good job.

how many clones should I put in my tent?

I would do as you did before. Mainline and clone the cuttings.

I'm not sure how much light you are currently using, but it may be possible to reduce light to slow growth without causing problems.

I was thinking of getting less light. How many clf bulbs do you think I need to slow the growth but not stretch the plants?

Take a look at the sticky threads and if that doesn't answer it then make another thread in the cfl section

I think I had 55w in my tiny veg can but can't tell you whether or not that was proper. Seemed to work ok but was maybe a little over 1sq ft. I forget. I've been looking at leds for so long I don't have current cfl recommendations

You don't say the size of your makeshift veg cab

It's an old kitchen cupboard but that might have to change. The plants are getting stinky in veg. It is 60 x 60 and about 40cm height growing area.

Yeah some strains will do that in veg.
There's an odour control thread under indoor gardening for ideas
