Dont reveg just harvest and get rid of the plant. You just stated that you already took clones. Find the best clone and make your mom out of that. Transplant into big pot and dont put under direct light in grow room. Take your cuttings as needed. Eventually you transplant into bigger pot until you are final. Then you look into Root trimming to keep the mother plant from getting root bound. You want to stunt the moms growth but not enough where it stops growing out enough to take clones

He probably right, by the time the Mom get back into vegetative and provides enough growth to take cuttings, the clones will be large enough to select a MOM from one of them.....Sorry man, i was pretty lit last night, not my clearest or best advice.

Once you have clones you can always replace the mother. There is no harm in making a clone of a clone of a clone of a clone......

The DNA is the same, so it is the same plant. Each of your little clones think they are the mother. Just replace the mother with one of her clones and then grow out the mother. Repeat this every once in a while and you never have to deal with a overgrown mother.

Believe it or not, it is less stress on the plants then trying to reveg them over and over. So strains will hermie on you from the light cycle change.

Nice looking bud. Best of luck.
