Put mother into flowering?

Hey RIU community,
I have a two month old mother that seems to have been stunted a little bit, i think i took too many clones at once, but she has shown little growth lately and i dont know how much more use im gonna have out for her in terms of generating more clones. they preflowerings are looking beautiful on almost every node so i was wondering about the possibility of flowering?

lol why not? growth is going to slow because its like topping plants when taking clones. two more shoots grow back. also you might need to put it in a bigger pot.

i dont see a problem with flowering it

Well certainly you can flower it, but I'm sure that as long as you didn't remove the foliage completely it will continue growing in veg after a few days.

thats basically my logic at this point haha migjht as well, bud production might be a bit slow/stunted but dont see much other use for the plant at this point, thanks for the input!

lol its gotta be something youre doing. i know a person that has had a couple mothers for 3 years. it gets about 7 feet tall and gets cut back to 5 with clones being taken. and it just grows back over time so...

its still growing just pretty slowly, the lower 1/3 - 1/2 of the branches have been removed

haha thats crazy i dont have 7 feet really (know you were just makin a point but just sayin...) and the slowed growth has kinda discouraged me from keeping it as a mother cause i feel an unstressed one could be more productive

Stressed plant is better in veg than flowering.
thanks didnt know that, still think im gonna flower it tho cause i'd rather spend a little more time flowering it then trying to force a couple more clones outa her, thanks for the input everyone
