I have heard it can be done, but its not a task a beginner should take on.

I never said that.
The post said you CANT clone autos. Of coarse you can. Its a cannabis plant, the same as any other one other than the fact it flowers regardless of dark hours. Sometimes you can get decent sized clones sometimes they grow half a joint. It depends on the strain, and your skill. Is it WORTH IT? Nah prob not.

Exactly Stimpy. Check out @HydroKid239 's grows. He's got auto cloning experience.

Booo Ruderalis, Welcome to RIU!

Just so you know, you cannot clone AutoFlower (Ruderalis) plants right? Plan to have huge phenotype variations between seeds and never have the same plant or measurable results. If it's not measured it's not managed.

Do not be afraid to feed them. You'll know if you went too far. Had a White Hulk auto last year that hit almost 6'. Huge ass top cola. And then bud rot. But she was a beast for an auto. Fed it just I fed everything else.

What rotten luck, no pun intended... If you can't get an auto to grow up in time outdoors, how do you manage with photos??? I'd say from the sounds of the window you have for growing, nothing would make it outside...

You've got way better fishing and hunting there though. My family wants to take a trip up there. Good think I've got my Burton AK Gear, lol.

Fishing is not that good north of the Alaska Range. Much better for salmon and trout south of the Range and especially the Kenai Peninsula. If you head this way let me know.

What can you do with that??? YIKES!!!

Cool…. So everything looks on track. Thank for all the feed back. Appreciate all the input.

Lol. I've done it before. Sometimes it worked ok other times it didn't. If you want to experiment and have some fun/learn there's nothing wrong with trying. Just don't expect much. If you can't root a cut in 5days dont even bother.

Why even grow Autos if you plan to clone though? This is the part that confuses me..

I do t know. Sounds like a waist of time to me. It even sure how that became the topic on my thread but I’m going to give these autos a go and see what happens.

For sure, enjoy it! I started growing autoflower and just learned its better to do normal plants so I can take cuttings off and re-create the same plant and have consistent results.

Enjoy it! Here are some pics of autos I grew in 2019.

I’m using fox farm ocean forest blend.

@Budzbuddha has the thread you are looking for

You can drop beans right into ocean forest and be fine with a sprout in 4-5 days already in their final pots if watered correctly. Meaning not too much water, at the right frequency. Watering a seedling in a huge pot can be tricky. Just gotta stay on it and it will be fine. I have a thread link below my comments for a TS1000 grow. In that thread I documented the cloning of one of the autos I had going as an experiment in a 2x4. It was my very first time with autos & only my 3rd grow. I gained another 80g on top of the 4oz the plant I cloned from gave me, so a waste of time was something that never came about. One think I wouldn’t do is try topping or taking cuts once you have already seen pistils. I may try it on my next auto run just to see how it turns out. If you want to see pics and what happened/how I did it check the thread out. Way more details there. Happy growing & welcome to RIU
