1 Big Plant or 5 cuttings? Looking for advice...

Hey there,
I am stuck and can't make up my mind, wanted to ask the RIU peeps what you thought. I have a Northern Lights x Blueberry Plant living in my 4x4 closet under 1000 watts. Temps and other environmental factors are looking great. I want to do a ScrOG for the first time and can't for the life of me decide what would be better; Veg the one out (she's super bushy and will fill up the closet if i veg out more) or take 5 clones and do the scrog with them. Anyone worked with this strain before? I am looking to get the best yield possible (obviously...) and don't know how this strain reacts to growing big. I am growing in soil with fox farms happy frog and Omri Organic ferts. Plant is in a 15 Gal pot. Any Ideas?
Thanks

Just to give you my view point is that I would go with the 5 cuttings. reason being that One big plant takes longer to bud. Needs more nutes. If it gets bugs or a disease and dies then you out of the game. Also, because light doesn't penetrate deep into bigger plants resulting in airy stretched light pop corn nugs. Now with the 5 plants if one or two die you still have 3 or 4 plants growing. and with good light penetration you'll grow dense phat nugs. and I believe they mature faster but, I know people that say it doesn't.

how big will the clones be when you go to flower them? if you set your self up right you can keep your mother plant and still get a few onces a week.......i would use the clones this time and leave one clone in the veg room so that can be your new mother plant and after these plants flower put your big one in you can do both......if anything i said helped you in any way dont foeget to +rep....
happy growing
