i would top it and do some LST on it. this will make the lower shoots grow out and keep it short and bushy. when you take a cutting it will be replaced with 2 new shoots. the more shoots you have the more cuttings you can get.

I dunno about LST since your going to use it for a mother plant but topping it would be a great idea.

lst would be helpful along with topping w/o a doubt, it increases the growth of new shoots (among other things) but now that i think of it you should maybe just tie down the top shoots repeatedly to make the growth hormone which makes the shoots increases, im not 100% sure on it though. any experts help us out please.

I don't want to sound mean, but I would try to get it vegged longer and get more branches or take clones and start over. If you top it you won't have much of a plant left and your main stalk is soooo thin.

I'm sorry but if you have been growing it for a couple of months it appears to be thin and wispy and not ready yet for a mother or to flower.
