Now that I know their sex, should I...

Should I continue to flower them

Or take clones, and stick em back into veg to get more growth

Or take clones and leave them flowering?

It's just that I have 1 250w HPS and just couple of CFLs. Not sure what to do.

Take clones! Flower the ones you are already flowering and use your new clones for mothers. Then clone your new mother when you can and make an army of pretty ladies! Happy Growing!!

I would.....
Take some clones, and continue to flower their mom(hps). Root and veg the clones while mom flowers (CFL). Then, when mom is done flowering, put the (now bigger) clones into flowering (after taking another batch of clones to repeat the process).

I think that's exactly what I'll do.

I'm just not sure how many clones can I take from my plants. They're relatively small. 7 nodes, like 1 ft tall

I thought people keep the mother plants (original plant that you took clones from). Thats what I've always done. Then vegged my clones then put them into flower. This way i always have a plant to take clones from and wont have to wait until the smaller clones get bigger to take more clones. Sorry if thats confusing lol.

It's not confusing, it makes sense.

But what I don't understand is why a plant that was born from seed is better than a clone?

From my point of a view, when a plant is GROWING it's clones will grow better in theory. When a plant is stunned (a mother) its clones just won't grow as good?

There are countless ways of doing this sort of propagation. it depends on how much growing space you have available. IMO why flower small plants (clones) and keep a large mother in veg. I'd rather flower the bigger plant and vegg the smaller ones (the clones). It takes the same amount of time to flower a big plant than it does a small plant. why waste this time flowering small clones when you could be flowering and harvesting a much bigger mother. Its also harder to keep a mom happy in the same soil for too long. My method every plant gets nice new rich soil in which to grow.
