look into LST and topping, you also might want to lower your lights so your plants dont stretch as much and dont forget to maintain your humidity and temp
this happend to my buddy once squrils ripped out his plants and lef them right there and dug the dirt out of his pos and burried berrys at the bottom, darn critters
i grow a few small lst plants givin a emergency i could chop them all to hell and the cops wouldnt be able to say how many plants i had, but either way i live in canada so i dont got much to worry bout, my area most people seem to just get fines if there case makes it to court
i wouldnt reccomend cloning a flowering plat allthough iv heard people saying iif you take a clone from a plant early in but it makes the clone grow more bushy but ether way id give any clones atleast 2 weeks veg before flowering to build up a healthy root system
