I wasn't sure if you could clone or not clone - so thanks to SL for schoolin' me.
I'm here to learn more in addition to promoting our site, so its all good.

And, I think you can't stop an auto from flowering - that's why you don't start them inside too early and move then outside.
From a personal experiment with getting a second harvest from a plant, we didn't so much as stop it from flowering as harvest it and cut it way back - something we learned from a website. Worked like a charm, but the plant was awesome to begin with.

Everything I know about Autos, I've read. I've been too busy for the past few years to try any DIY projects.

And, depending on how far south you are, you might be able to get a few harvests in - some breeders are claiming you can get two harvests a year outside with non-autos if you're in a "mediterraean" type area.

I'm thinking maybe 3 with really fast autos? Year-round outside would probably be pushing it a little bit unless you're in an area like southern Florida or California.

Here's another tip for you - look for the time that it takes to finish from seed. A lot of breeders will give the finish times for flowering only and leave out the veg stage.
That'll take something that you think will finish in 8 weeks or less up by another month.
