flower now or take clones for better yield??

[roxy5050c]

i have 2 criticals and 1 amnesia in veg in 5 gal bucckets dwc 3 weeks old.under 200 watt hps & cfls
out of the 2 criticals 1 of them is thriving , the other growing very slow only on its 3rd node.

any how i will be talking about 1 of the criticals that is doing better.
i topped very early and it grew 2 main tops.
i just snipped those two main tops to get 4.
i have 2 little side branches(lower colas) poppin out as well. my plan is to cut the bottom 2 to take clones . but after taking those 2 cuttings will more tops grow back?
theese cuttings are small, maybe 3 inches . will i get a better result leaving it on the plant and putting it to flower in a week or take the 2 cuttings and flower after it roots?

or should i scratch that and take the top two main colas now?

i thought it was a cal mag issue but if it is i could spray 1:9 vinegar to water on the leaves correct??

anyways what do yall think about the cloning process i explained in first post?

the leaf damage...the little spots all over the leaves....look on the underside of those leaves , they will be there

You really need to do quite a bit of research yet....spend hours on this forum reading stuff. Get the spider mites fixed..this is your first lesson. We have all been threw it

I hadnt had bugs in over 3 yrs...then all of a sudden some aphids showed up. I have some of the most harshest pesticides on the market and the aphids were totally immuned to all of it. Research some good pesticides to use, not neem...you are past the neem stage. Avid, Forbid, pesticide resistence, how to alternate pesticides in a regular maintenance schedule...all that. I wouldnt try to expand your grow till you have these fuckers dead and gone for at least 2 months
