Any advice as to how to raise the best and healthi...

Yes you can. A bonsaï is what you need. You will have to manage the roots frequently ( roots trimming ) to top the apexes frequently , to practice a lot of LST and to bring nutrients ( some brands have a specific schedule for the mother plants ). But if you can settle a routine you'll get 8 to 16 clones every 2 month or something like that

check out a technique called "fluxxing" that could help keep the mother nice and low but with a decent + useful production.

Mainlining sounds good... you can easily air layer those stems for clones Here's another idea. Just keep the mother rootbound in a small container. The plant will start to look stressed down the line but when you transplant it into a bigger pot it'll get healthy and you can take clones. One of the easiest ways to save space on your clones while you wait 8-11 weeks for the current ones to finish

1.5 feet, do you really mean 45cm?theoreticallyit is possible but it would be a lot easier if you just change the veg location. i dont know how much clones you need. but i would use at least 3or4 feet height if you want to keep a mother plant.even then it becomes a challenge after a couple of weeks. good luck bro!

Hi @Sawydawg! Yes it is possible, but it will require some accurate hard stress training, and hours of work to obtain a beautiful and compact mother plant. I would recommend to use the mainlining method, with a flat manifold. Basically what you want is to TOP at certain nodes and propagate the plant horizontally, with the help of strings or stakes. Have a look at my THCbomb diary, you will see how I've managed to get 16 apical summits in a quite compact space, the result is a short and bushy plant with a crazy amount of side stems, perfect shape to make some clones! This works best with indica dominant strains since they tend to have short inter-node spaces and they don't stretch too much in heights. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊
