You take a clone from the plant before you put it in flower - you should do this with every plant you flower and root it - while the original plant is almost ready for flower (roots usually take 7-12 days) once its rooted you will be safe to add the original plant to flower and keep the clone alive until after the grow process and see what the final product turns out to be - if its blah or just ok you toss the clone , if its killer the clone just became your mom - as you really can't say if the plant is mom till after you have smoked it .Thanks man, well wen I actually start my "real" grow (the two monster plants) Il be using the 600w from seedling until harvest as Id guess its going to need that much light during veg due to all the topping and LST'ing that Im going to be doing.
Im not sure I understand you regarding selecting a mother plant, how would you pick a mother plant if you have harvested and smoked the plant?
Do you mean smoking the clones of that plant?
people do this usually when running alot of plant like a sea of green or scrog but that don't seem the direction you were headed best to do this only if in a legal or tolerant state as you need alot of clones to make the same weight you will get from vegging a few real big - disadvantage is the waiting for the plant or plants to become big enough for flower . advantage its 1 plant or 2Ah ok, I thought another reason people grew from clone was to keep the plant shorter and stuff like that

In my experience, they only "burn" from light if it's too close and hot, or when they get used to a small light and you move them too close to a big light. I have started many many seedlings under direct sunlight with no issues.Don't put the seedling under the 600W until it's got at least three full sets of leaves with at least three blades. Otherwise you risk it being too young and burning the fuck outta your fragile seedling... I see lots of people who get impatient and throw their babies under that hot ass light way too early, and they're all like "Awww! Why did my little baby die???"
Thanks for the responses guys, yeah I heard that by using the 600w HPS from the seedling stage that it causes shorter internodes thus keeping the plants shorter. But I appriciate the responses and will look into it more.

If you start them immediately under the 600, they should be fine if they're not too close. I would recommend 24-30" from the tops, and move them closer if they seem to stretch.
No I mean HPS, I read in a weed mag before (soft secrets) and they recommend starting the seedlings under 600w-1000w HPS, just further away to avoid burning them
