to clone, or not to clone. [need suggestions]

so im a lil over 2 months into my outdoor grow.

and i was wanting to clone some of my bigger mother plants.

but i was wondering if it was worth it.

harvest will probably be around late october.

would leaving the branches on the mother plant produce more,the same, or less bud than if i cut them off and cloned them?

or would the clones sprout up and get way bigger than they would have been on the mother?

with the clones you can turn those low branches into nice tops.

I think it would be a good thing.

even with the short time before harvest?

clone early and clone often

you've still got a few months before harvest, you'll be fine taking some of the bottom branches.
