Grow Setup Question

So,

I have a 5' x 10' grow area all panda taped in. I've even divided it into two light proof parts. One one side I have 1x 1000 watt metal halide lamp electronic ballast. (Will switch to HPS when flowering). With 15 plants vegetating. The other side has 2 tall mother plants under a 400 watt hps in a continual state of veg.

Observe picture (first side)

Anyway, I still have these two big mothers left over. So the question is, do I try to flower these two 3+ foot tall bushes while continuing to veg these other 15 plants. OR do I break down the wall and chop up the two mothers into the remaining 9 clones that I would need to start under that 400w that was originally growing the two mothers.

I think the best option is probably to remove the wall in between and start a lot of big clones to veg. But I would still have alot of plant matter left over.

If I went with option one I would also need to do some fancy exhausting, rather than just building the one open 5x10 area like I planned. And having the carbon filter fan setup hangin. up top

lemme know what you think.

if you really like the strain & want to save the mothers, take 2 clones from each & flower the rest of the plant,after they are well rooted, save the best clone from each mother & build a small box w/ some CFLs to keep them alive, a cardboard box,2-3 24 watt CFLs and a cheap timer would be all you need.with this setup, the little clones wont grow fast but will live until you have room to put them under a real light to get growth.
