How to clone autoflowering plants

Cloning autos is not logical, as the autos are intended for quick/early harvests without the hassle of cloning :-). An auto clone will not veg and get bigger, but it will flower.

A cloned indica from a good mother will outperform any auto from seed...

Planting autos outdoors in April, May so you can harvest July, makes sense.

If you clone an auto, you will have very small buds, and lose 2-3 weeks for the rooting process, so you lose all the advantage of autos... Autos are not as potent as photoperiod plants, its main advantage is early harvest.

Haven't read all the posts here but get the general gist of things.
I understand that if you can clone an AF it's not a true AF. Might be wrong; I've never tried it.

But I've never tried it because for me cloning is irrelevant.
I like to force male flowers from my best plant after harvest and self pollinate it.
I just leave all the lower leaves and all the chunkiest lower buds (no need to be greedy and harvest it all, I'll have more in two or three months.)
I assume the genetic material in the male and female flowers is identical as it comes from the same plant and so the resulting seeds exhibit almost no variation from the parent and are guaranteed female (I've not yet produced any males and for several generations my plants are all much the same)

Anyone else regularly produce new plants from self pollinated plants seed?

You can pollinate a female that late? like when you harvest You can leave buds to pollinate? I'm about 1.5 weeks into my autoflower and am thinking of testing clones out of them.
