What should i do with my big mothers!?

[Producer]

Anybody have any clue what I should do with my two big mothers?
They are going to over grow my tent pretty soon...
And because they are so tall, i have to keep moving my T5 Fluorescents up, further and further away from all my other little babies down low.

I maybe have enough height for them in my tent for another 2 months at the most....
Should I just keep some clones and make new mothers and toss these outside while I still have time for flowering!?

I would think trying to bend them for LST would be a little late at this point...
i'd probably just break the stock...But I am quickly growing out of room...
Any tips?

Here's what the setup looks like.

You might not be able to tell from the picture but those 2 mothers in the corner (from the floor) are 4.5ft tall...

Thanks again!

put them outside to flower

or murder them after you feel you got some good clones off them.door #1 is the better choice

I'm kinda in the same situation as you. I use a closet for veg(24/0) and I have 4 big mothers in there with all my clones and seedlings. My T5(4ft4bulb) is way 2high for my lil plants, so I'm just gonna use some clones I took from each and pick out new moms.
So this is what I'm doing with my motherplants. I noticed my outdoor plants are just starting to flower(New England Area) so I'm gonna put one outside and see how that goes and my other moms Im gonna put in my flower tent when it arrives(ordered it last week)its a 4x4ft and im gonna put my adjustable 1000watter. hope i helped....peace

moms

why are your moms so big...just cut them at around 18" and keep trimming. keep under cfl or t-5 but not hps...even mh would be ok....

but you can cut them and keep them short and thiinned out by trimming...then once a year..take them out of their container and cut the roots in half....just you a nice sharp knife and put alcohol on it..then put into clean container with your choice of media...

next time take a plant and practice...after you get the hang of it you can even make them like dwarf plants...do a search on google and you will find them...i have seem them last for 10 years....good luck....

huh wow. Thanks for the advice guys. I think I will most likely toss them outside and let them flower because I have other mothers I can use meanwhile.
Thanks Kes 5480!
And NCM thats som sick advice too. Sounds a little advanced for me..
But i'll deffinitely try that in the near future. Or start practicing soon.

could you just hack the top half off?

Umm, not the top half...but said grower could easily top/prune those. I just had to do so with 2 indoor plants in pre-flower b/c the damn things are still vegging as well.
