Mother plant advice

with outside grow well on it’s way and two GSC plants 3 weeks from harvest in the tent, I’m looking at setting up for the winter without running the tent. Power costs were enormous last winter with heat needed 24/24 coupled that with lighting and I’m trying to rest the tent over the cold months.
I have a four Girl Scout Cookies clones that I’m trying to save as mother plants for future cloning next Feb/March or so. The 4 current clones are abt 5-6 in tall and I’m not sure how to keep them beyond leaving them in 18/6 light. Nursery room is warm. Should I keep them root bound? should I train them a certain way. Not sure what else I’m missing.
Could I just take a mother plant and move to the tent at 12/12 next spring?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
