Mothers go outside?

So I have a mother plant that I have taken 100 clones from and now my season is under way. Now i have this 5 1/2 ft mother about 3 ft wide.
I was thinking about putting her outside to let her grow and flower with the season. I friend of mine who's been growing for a while said he wouldn't because it prob wouldn't give much of anything due to it being cloned from.
I really don't want to just throw her out, but I like to clear my house out of illegal stuff except my personal stash. So I don't want to keep her here.
Also hardening her outside is not impossible but would be risky and difficult.
Any advice?

Just wondering if she would produce a nice amount.
Also forgot to mention she's about 7-8months old.

I've hardened them off behind a sliding glass door, I actually leave the door closed the first few times then open the door. Maybe you can harden em off inside near a sliding glass door or window?

Well if you want it to start flowering and keep flowering now you would need to cover it to keep the light hours short enough to keep it flowering.

If you want it to go full season, I don't see why you wouldn't get that goal but then again it depends on a lot of factors and even the strain, but honestly I've seen clones catch up or even pass the mothers. I'd light deprive it and have a little early smoke if I were you.

I can get her outside in a very overgrown "garden". Really used to be a sitting area with a bird bath in the middle. Thats where I have all my clones hardening right now. Once they are all gone I could squeeze her in there to get her ready for full sun.
I have almost enough smoke to last me till harvest so thats not really a concern plus i have some autos that will be coming in in about a month.
I would love for her to veg and grow like all the other plants I put out, just wasn't sure if it was worth the effort to only get 2-3 O's from this 5 ft bush lol.
I just don't have any experience with mothers after taking the clones. The couple times I have done it the mother was nothing but stick when i was done. This thing just keep bouncing back again and again and fast.
