Greetings all, and thanks in advance for any input you may have.

I've got 2 'mothers' in veg state that I started from seed. They seem to be doing well and I've gotten to the point of having made a clone of each to determine sex. The clones have been rooted and placed in their grow mediums where they've had a couple weeks to get settled in and have started getting taller again after the rooting process. When I cut from the mother to make the clones, I 'topped' the mother plants, taking I what will later become the 'cola' if they turn out to be female. (One of the 'mothers' is already showing pistils so I'm happy with that)

So basically, I've gotten past the seedling to veg state, and created the first set of clones - out of the potential cola's. My plan is to let the clones grow up to maybe 3 or 4 feet and put them in flower cycle, where I will both determine sex, and if female, start my first 'for-harvest' cycle. I plan to rotate out clones from the mother plant into a veg cycle as I put the maturing and older clones into the flower stage, and start a new flower stage each harvest cycle.

Would it be better to take the new clone cuttings from the 'mother' plant each time for a new production cycle, or to take the cutting from the vegetative clones before flowering so I basically would be cloning the cola each time? The 'mother' plant is growing quite quickly in veg state, and has already hit 5 feet tall. Space is of a concern for me, and having just one would be ok, but if both turn out to be female and I keep both 'mother plants', space is going to run out quickly. That being said, if I could clone the clones, so to speak, I could save some space.

Secondly, what's a good height to keep the 'mother' plants at? The last time I grew, I was just starting out and the darned thing got some 13 feet tall where I had bent it around and folded it over. In my current situation, that isn't an option so I'm going to need to keep it well trimmed. I was thinking of using those trimmings as my new clone stock but wanted to see if anyone had any experience with my suggestions above or what works best for you.

Setup:
Indoor closet (damned prohibition state)
Warm and Cool florescent lighting evenly spread out
Soil for rooted plants, clones, and the 'mothers'
Water for rooting cuttings until sprouted (using indol-3 to promote root growth)

Fun facts:
This will be the third time I've grown.
The first was in my early teens, and I got so desperate for weed I picked off all the leaves and smoked them, killing the poor little plant.
The second time the plant did great (the 13 footer mentioned above). Shortly after placing it in the flowering state and it started to look really nice I got so paranoid about helicopters flying over that I ran in it's little closest and chopped her down. 8*( So close
