I am in the process of vegging right now. I have (White Widow, Blue Dream, OG Kush, Purple AK/47 and Sour Diesel). They are all about 1 foot tall. I want to keep them strickly as mothers and just use them for cloning.

How can I get these to grow fast, and big?

The White Widow seems to being growing the fastes so far.

I currently have them all under two 4 foot 6500K Flourescents. I have a 1000 watt HPS and a 1000 watt Metal Halide but im not sure if I should use them.

Using the 1000watt MH will give you much better and faster growth, which will in turn produce more cuttings at a faster rate.
You are topping those mothers, right?

when should I top them, they are all about 1 foot tall?
Next time you decide to go this direction in tems of pruning. A good time to prune ( example topping ) when you see the 3rd or 4th growth node in vegetation. In a majority of strains it occurs in between the 2nd and third week of vegetation if you have not run into any major hiccups. And when you do top those ladies use those sections to root then flower to make sure what you have are indeed females.

And more suggestions keep topping throughout the lifespan of your mother(s). Keep your prospective mothers green. Keep your mother area sterile. A 1000 watt mh to grow and sustain that number of plants is overkill. You could easily get by with a 400 watt MH. Allow your mothers to reach an age of 2 months before taking massive amount of clones.
