Newbie Mistake. Untrained clone growing out of control.

Hey RIU

I got 3 different clones a lil over a month ago. I wanted to just keep them as mothers and take clones for my Flower Chamber. Well as a Newbie I was scared of actually LST/Topping so I just let them do they're own thing (Mistake). Fast forward a month later and I have no room for the my Mom in the Veg Chamber. I have a 9x4 2in1 so 8x4 Flower and a small Veg Chamber. Even worse I don't think it will fit if I flower her since max height is only 7f but really 6 because of the light. I have 3 clones 2 are bushing out and the other 1 Shot up almost 3x the size of the other 2.

Any suggestions? I know I can take clones and say screw it and try and flower and probably bleach her buds with light but I really wanted to save her as a mom.

Pro Mix HP/Perlite
GH Flora series
PPM 500-700
PH 6.3

Ohh and another quick question. For moms do you usually just stay on Veg Base 500-700 PPM Forever? Right now I'm feeding 5ml Micro 6ml Grow 2.5ml Bloom. Considering when to move to equal parts Micro and Grow. I'm doing the Drain to Waste feed chart.

I really didn't want to but I think this is the only answer I'm gonna get. My poor baby. She is going into surgery with a doctor that got her degree in clown college. Lol Hopefully it will all come out well. Thanks.

Well, a mother is there to cut clones off it, anyway.
Perhaps google bonsai techniques. Rootcut, small pots etc may help you in the future throttling unwanted growth

Really?
This kind of plant abuse needs to be stopped, plants should be protected from people who do this.
Its like that day at the grand canyon when joe dirts parents left him there, he was just a kid, only 8 years old left on his own.
These plants were kids and what did you do?

Don't listen to that advice please.

You need more light to prevent that stretch you're seeing. Or get the light closer.

I would top that really tall one and try to clone it if it was me.

They look great besides starving for light. What kind of light are you using now and how far away is it?
