I would take 2 or 3 from each one and then flower them at about six or seven weeks.At that size i keep them in a Beer cup until i see a nice bit of roots then move them to a 1/2 gallon pot and then to my final flowering size pot.The transplanting helps to make a nice full root system and helps me to avoid over watering.20 clones from each one would call for a four or five foot plant depending how bushy they are.

Cr+ is a bushy mofo, I have no idea how Nirvana super skunk grows out.

In about 2 months you'll be able to take 1or2 dozen clones.
What I usually do when growing from seed is take a few clones and flower the mom. Then by the time your new clones are getting big, your original mom you flowered will be ready for harvest. Often times seeds won't be keepers so this can save a lot of space, you'll get some buds faster, and you will know which strains to keep, maintaining some efficiency in your garden.

Yea there's nothing worse than keeping a big mother plant for 3 months, flowering out the clones and finding out the strain was not that great, wasting space, nutrient/soil and electricity.......$$$.
Cloning is easy, it seems intimidating at first...as long as you keep everything clean, not too wet/not too dry you'll be alright. You're not using the 600hps for clones are you?

No but im using it for the seeds I got going now, and all 3 strains are decent. These are the 3 out of 6 from my last grow I wonted to use for the sog, I LOVE the purple trainwreck, it was so dank, hight was awsome, the cr+ tasted like fruity pebbles so that was bad ass, the onky 1 I have doughts about is Nirvana super skunk, but I thinkbthats bc I smoked myself nose blind. Bc the inlaws came over and coulda swore a skunk was living under the house or sprayed the dog. Lmao my oll lady said I was crazzy bc that shit was loud. I just couldn't smell it idk
