I was just wondering if you can clone an autoflower plant or do they just flower to quickly?Or am I wrong in thinking you cant clone from a plant in flower. By the way great forum thanks

No since they flower too soon you cant clone them

I've actually seen someone clone a Lowryder #2. Took the clone at about 2 weeks after germ. Ended up with 2 very small plants. Not worth it in my opinion. Very difficult to clone an autoflowering strain. And in the end, why would you clone it in the first place?

Autoflowers start budding due to plant age, not photo-period. That's why they will flower under 24 hours of light per day. A clone is technically as old as the mother plant it came from. So your clones of an autoflower would still finish at roughly the same time as the mother plant. You couldn't keep a perpetual grow by cloning an autoflowering strain.

That's why you order lots of seeds! Or you can skip autoflowers altogether and get a regular flowering strain and find a good mommy to take clones from.
