Auto Flowers are a strain that will go into flowering @ a certain time period reguardless of how many hours of lighting it gets (great for you veg room)

Why don't you just stop already? You already proved how childish you are. Just say this "Hey look everybody, I already won the dumbass contest. Let's just prove that I am even more retarded. "

Clones are taken from cuttings from mother plants and will be exactly the same, which means that if your mama had a problem, the clone will too - in other words, they'll be exactly the same, even the same age. That's why it's extremely impractical to clone from autos, because of how short their lives are, you won't be able to get a clone that has enough time to mature before it's life cycle is over.
I hope that all that senseless bickering didn't leave a bad taste in your mouth.
Stick around, there's lots to learn and plenty of patient (or not so much...) teachers.

I'm growing a couple of autos right now, and basically they work like magic, lol. Really, though, it's from the inclusion of ruderalis genetics into the typical sativa/indica fray that allows you to get the autoflowering characteristic. Cannabis ruderalis is a short, bushy species of MJ that is tolerant of sh*tty conditions, prefers colder temps and, most importantly, autoflowers.
Autoflowering plants, then, are cross-bred between ruderalis and sativa and/or indica, and often back-crossed, until all you have is the one desirable trait of ruderalis - autoflowering - and the desirable traits of sativa and indica - nice sticky buds
.
Crosses with more ruderalis, such as Joint Doctor's Lowryder, yield pretty good herb and are hardy plants, but are best suited as parents to make dank offspring by crossing with a non-ruderalis strain, adding to potency, height, yield, etc. There are different autos for every purpose, some just want a shorter grow cycle but don't mind a tall plant, so they would select an auto strain regardless of max height, whereas for some the appeal of autos is in their short height, so they'd pick an auto that had been specifically bred to be short and squat (the case with my girls, haha).
Like I believe others have said, most recommend a light cycle of 20/4 or 18/6 for autos, I'd say 16/8 as the max hours of darkness you'd want for your babies.

LOL XD yes, but maybe the question was just phrased wrong... or very, very broadly.
I love the art of Akira Toriyama (looks like his at least), perfect for every application.

Lmfao, why are you even crying about it? It's not like I'm actually mad at him.
Sure, his first post was kind of asshole-ish. So I was bored and decided to fuck with him a little bit.
Don't take the internet seriously.

ok back to the subject am actually interested in this, cuz am confused about autos, cuz i thought the only cannabis plant that flowered automatically with time was cannabis redulas, does this mean they cros emm with sats and indies or is this some genetically modified shit??? ( i know am also a newb bring it on!!)

Alright since I was being a dick I guess I'll answer this question.
Auto-flowering strains are crossed with cannabis ruderalis.
Cannabis ruderalis starts the flowering phase based on age (maturity) and not on the light cycle.
I don't fully understand the clones question. But I'm sure if you cloned a auto-flowering plant, they yield would be very small.

ya i thought so, but i got that info from the growing bible, but it also says that ruderalis ( excuse my first spelling of it) is noth as potent as sats or indies so how do you get enough of ruderalis in a plant that it takes on auto flowering as a trait and keep it potent ???

auto flowers are crossed and back bred so that the only part of the ruderalis that remains is the auto flowering trait , it flowers on any light cycle when it reaches a certain maturity (to a point and with a varying yeild)
You CAN clone autos but the clone will be the same age as the mother plant so its pointless, if you take a clone of a 8 week auto flower strain at say 4 weeks for example the clone will only live for a extra 4 weeks so its pointless ...
hope my stoner rambling makes sence

... I'm pretty sure I answered this earlier in this thread?? Do people actually read through threads to make sure a question hasn't already been answered?
