How many clones inna bucket

how many clones is healthy to take from a mother at any givin point? the female that I've been growing for about 5 months has available clones everywere. Im just wondering how many I can take at a time without harming or stressing the mother. Also, on my younger mother, shes got a few braches growing almost the same height and node number as the original stem....should I cut these whole branches as cuttings or should i take smaller branches from those?

In my experience smaller clones take quicker. Depending on the size of the mother, you might be able to take 10 to 100 clones or even more.
How big is momma these days do you have a pic?

At 5 months my indica moms are around 5 -6 feet and taking a hundred clones per plant is fine.
