Cloning auto for shits and giggles

I know autos dont clone well due to lack of reveg capability, but I figured I'm bored and have no life so....

I snapped a branch off last Tuesday training and decided to see if I could keep it alive with next to no effort. I just took off the main fans, cut it an inch or so below a node and stuck it in some potting mix. It's like 30-40% humidity, I'm not using a dome, it hasn't been misted and it's like 13-18c ATM.

It went droopy as shit for four or so days and today it seems like its actually living.

How long does a cutting usually take to wilt up and die in low humidity? It'll be a week tonight and it seems to be fine so far with no love. It sits in between the vents of my two tents. There's one on each side of it and it gets about 1.5k-2k lux for 20hrs.

At the time about 26 I'd say. This is it at 32 now. The gaping hole where the top should have been is eating me alive.

It was one of the tips from where I topped, so I may as well not have topped at all lol..

Not much loss though as the weight from the single non topped cola spread out over all the tops. For sure sucks, but overall this small loss could be a gain if you figure out something with the clone/branch.

It's one of three plants as well, so it's basically a non event in reality. it's mainly my OCD eating me up lol. I did me best to morph every other branch into a slightly different location to make up for it.

I figured it was just going in the bin anyway so what the hell.

I have a question:
I know nothing about ruderalis so my question is can we delay things by keeping the plants in very cold conditions?
If so cloning might be extremely possible and such?

Modern ruderalis hybrids usually begin to flower between 21 and 30 days after the seeds have been planted, regardless of the light cycle. This is why most ruderalis hybrids are attributed as “autoflowering” strains.
