Thinking of cutting the top 5 nodes off the biggest plant, and cloning it. is that a good idea? thinking about putting the clone + 2 other plants into flowering, but keeping the "mother" in veg in another part of the shed.

140 might be a bit of stretch for me to shell out in 2 days. Might have to stick with the 368 cfl watts i had planned.
