I'm growing 3 mothers from seed in my closet, they've been under 4 2" T5 VHO Fluorescents which outputs 20k Lumen for about a month. I'm watering every 2 to 3 days using GH nutes @ 800ppm. Growing rate is around 1" per day and seems to be increasing. My environment is completely stable at 25°C - 45/50% humidity.
Critical Sensi Star, Critical Jack Herer, Northern Lights Blue, all from delicious seeds. this picture is almost two days old so they're all almost 2" taller, (5 1/2", 6 1/2", 7" )

Ok, so I read that Cannabis needs at least 2 months of vegging before you cant take clones from it, is that correct?. also read that topping could/should be done during veg in order to keep your plants short and bushy. I only need one clone out of each plant right now so I wonder if I could cut say half of the plant, root it, and then veg it for 2 - 3 weeks.
Shouldn't the clones be ready to flower by the same time I was supposed to be just taking them which is a month from now, thus avoiding the 2-week cloning downtime and another 2 - 3 weeks of vegging?
Would my mothers benefit from this practice?, There are branches growing out of every node in all the plants, especially NLB which now resembles a Christmas tree.
My main concern is if the plants are too young to handle the stress and in case the clone doesn't make it, I could end up empty handed. I'd also hate to hurt my growing rate when I worked so hard to get it to "normal".
Any advice is appreciated
Thank you
