Keep it as a mother, with proper pruning it will only get better and better at giving you awesome clones. All preflowers mean is the plant has chosen its sex, all from seed plants eventually do this after vegging long enough even if you don't put them in 12/12. As long as you take care of it and give it at least 18 hours of light, it will veg for years.
edit: actually some strains will auto flower even if you keep them in veg but only certain uncommon ones that I doubt you are growing. (like lowryder)
edit2: also don't use miracle grow even for a mother plant imo. It's just low quality stuff. Soil isn't that expensive if you just have a little grow. Get a bag of ocean forest or black gold if you can or if you have to go slightly cheaper Lowe's has some decent stuff in their Sta-Green line. I'm unsure which one, I even tried to look but there doesn't seem to be much consensus. Either way any of the sta-green is sure to be better than miracle grow. What compelled you to use MG anyway?
Quote: yellownotepad said: at the time, mgmc was all i could find and so i used it. i rediscovered the hydro shop i went to a long time ago though (and the guy there even remembered me and what i bought from a year and a half ago) and they have foxfarms and i forget what other kinds of soil. how would i go about changing the soil for the mother plant? would it even survive whatever disturbance to the root system would need to occur for that?
How long have you been vegging it in there? If the roots are established in the miracle grow a transplant is easy; just lift it out of the pot, shake off the dirt, then put it in a new slightly larger pot. If you barely transplanted it a few days ago and the roots haven't reestablished you can still transplant, you just have to be much more careful to not damage the roots when you take it out of the pot. Dive your hands into the sides of the pot, wiggle them under the roots, then lift the plant out and then carefully sift your hands to get the dirt off the roots. Then replant.
Actually you are right though, since it's a mother you don't really have to transplant as long as the miracle grow isn't making her sick. The worst thing about using the miracle grow is supposed to be the awful way the long release ferts in the MG soil make your finished bud taste. So I guess just leave it till its ready to transplant on its own and your fine.
