Wierd question, if I switch from flowering to veg will my buds continue to grow?

I now have to kill a male (plant to the right), which sets me back a lot yeild wise. I can't clone a new plant and start flowering it from day 1, otherwise my yield is gonna drop from not being able to veg the clone long enough.
Initially I was worried about space, now I'm not cause my biggest plant was a male. I'm very much hoping these 2 females flower with in the next week or so. Than I want to do 2 clones after they flower, revert back to vegging, and use the clones to LST (which was another thing I regret not doing with my current plants).

I'm not in a huge rush at all, but I was depending on most my yield coming from that one huge plant, the other 2 are a fair deal smaller. And I only started flowering them because of how big the male was getting. So I'm in a weird spot now, I'm only concerned about yield. Maybe I should just flower the other 2 to make sure their female, than not even clone them and revert back to veg just to make them bigger? I'm in a weird situation now, I'm trying to increase my yield with wasting as little time as possible. But like I said if I have to wait its not a huge deal either.

Any ideas? If the buds will continue to grow from day 1 switching back to veg, than I like that idea better. But if the buds are gonna stop growing and the plant is just gonna get taller, than sticking to flowering sounds like a smarter idea. Its my first grow btw.

If you go back to veg the buds will die off.. take some clones now and keep up with what ones are from what plant.. then when the "mother" plants show sex keep the clones of the females... keep flowering these and go to wally world (walmart) or somewhere to get a cheap light fixture and set it up in another part of the house away fromw your flowering plants... put your clones under 24/0 light under 1-2 cfls and veg them for a couple weeks and LST them.. then when you have them to the size you want add them to the already flowering plants under the 12/12 cycle... thats what i would do atleast

Ok great I like that idea that NBTB proposed. Initially I was thinking theres no way I can seperate light cycles (i just have nowhere else to grow) but all I logically have to do is put a temporary wall in my grow house and put the other lights on a new timer. So I will do that then great idea. I'll take the clones now and just watch the "mothers" and that'll give the clones time to grow while the mothers are able to still flower. Than I can LST and move the clones back in at a later time. That really simplifies a lot thank you!
