Creating a clone mother....... need some help

hello everyone,

i currently have 2 plants grown from seed. theyre 2 months old and have been topped once and now each one has 4 tops. theyve been under 18/6 and just started showing sex ( theyre both females, yayyyy ).

From this point im wondering what would be the best way to create mother plants from them???

keep them in veg in a 5 gallon pot

yeah but should i top them again

should i LST

yes lst and top . mainly just top to get loads of heads to = more clones

I wouldn't waste the space to keep mothers just take clones from them and flower then take clones from those clones. genetic drift is a myth.

thanks for the advice guys, is there any method prefered over other methods?
