Well, depends on what you want out of it. Not all clones have to be "monster cropped', ie taken from flowering mothers then revegged, prob most aren't. People have taken clones from slow growing autos and grown them out in SOG making more bud than if left on the plant. Not a lot, and you can't keep a mother Auto to clone from but if you take a cutting from an Auto and grow it out, IMO it has been cloned. It can be done easily - but if its worth doing, that's up to the individual.
