Cloning Flowering Autoflowers?

It is interesting to observe this experience. But as far as I know, clones have the same stage of development as the parent plant. It makes sense to clone auto flowers in the very early stages of vegetation, if you do it on the flowering period, the small auto flowers all exactly bloom and get micro-growing with micro-harvesting. But again it is in theory! As will be in practice, you can see for yourself. There is a possibility that the plant will become a hermaphrodite from overdose and stress, but it depends on the predisposition of genetics. For cloning autoflowers suitable strains sativa with a long stage of vegetation and if you try to clone a very young plant, so he had time to recover at the stage of vegetation, it is possible you will succeed and you will identify a full auto-flowering clone, a long time ago I heard from friends about such a successful experiment. To do this, you need to comply with the accuracy of the calculations of the stage of life of plants and do everything with surgical precision

@Flavoursuk, @PussyWagon6969, @Coopman, @Squirrel_Master, @Dunk_Junk, @Lou_Grows, @iDontEvenGrow, Hello everyone. Have a look at the photos. I have some closeups of the tricomes. Are they clear? Milky? When do you think they are ready for harvest?

@Flavoursuk, @PussyWagon6969, @Coopman, @Squirrel_Master, @Dunk_Junk, @Lou_Grows, @iDontEvenGrow, Have a look. Cloned from a flowering autoflower. They do seem to be growing a little differently than straight from seed. No flowers are growing yet, but those are odd bunches of leaves. I already have a little nute burn. I just watered the solution down to try and take care of that. But, they seem to be doing ok otherwise. What do you think about those small bunches of leaves on both plants?

Well thanks to your experimenting I now know that cloning a flowering auto does work. There is an evident loss in quantity but it does seem to work. Please update us with a smoke report. Also, do you mind posting photos of the root system? Thanks for your contribution to the community!!!

She's not far away now! Great work documenting this. One request if I may? I'd like to see a wide shot of her so I can see how tall she is. 👌

Hello ! I can see on your pics that's your trichomes are Clear & cloudy , I would say 50%/50% so your harvest will come soon ! The yellowing phenomenon at the end of flowering is the senescence , in your case maybe an early senescence ! An early senescence is mostly cause by under feeding your plants , I can see than you'r using the same amont of Grow / Micro & Bloom : at that stage you should not , the feeding chart says 3ml Grow 6ml Micro 9ml Bloom for 10L of water but you'r giving them 6ml of each so the nutient "balance" is not good ! If you correct it everything will be fine , but I really likes thoses colours 😍 ! Holp it will help you 👍

It is because you are getting close to harvest. It’s normal for the leaves to start changing colors near the end. Similar to trees in autumn. Happy harvesting! 👍

I love experiments like this! Thanks for giving evidence, one way or the other, to something "everyone knows" Good luck and I am excited to see the outcome of this!

Stunning pictures this week (7) what are you using? 👍

Nice work dude! Just an FYI, I tried drying a sample bud next to my light (like yours) while it was running and it dried WAAAAAYYY too fast. My little branches ended up snapping within 48 hrs.... My real harvest I was able to dry for 4 days total before little branches were starting to snap and that bud turned out to be really fragrant (compared to the fast drying sample). Learn from my mistake, the slow dry mixed with a nice month long cure really does make a difference!😀

Lookin great, can't wait to see the final yield off of a cloned Auto!!

I took a lower branch from my TD that had one or two hairs on a very tiny bud and cloned it. It hasn't grown taller but the bud is growing well.

They are doing far better than they have any right too! Amazing progress. Looks like it is a success right now!

Hi @BucketBrigade! I won't worry too much at this stage, your plant is ending its lifecycle, she's consuming every nutrients she can, and most of them come from the leaves. This is called "senescence", and its basically the process of deterioration with age. I hope you've been flushing for the last days, because I see many cloudy trichomes, meaning she's getting ready and harvest should happen in a few days. Depending on the effects you want, you need to get 80-100% of milky trichomes for an energetic high (more THC), or 15-30% of amber trichomes for a couch-locking high (more CBN/CBD). So in this situation I'd stop the nutrients, flush for at least a week with plain pH'd water, then enjoy the harvest 😎Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and good luck for the last days 👊

I think you still have a week or two to go brother

Still killin it Bucket! Love watching this grow develop =D

Wow! What a trip... I thought for sure this was going to be a super stunted plant but its size is legit. Cool to see the growth mutations on those leaves!

Just have to say this is an awesome insight into cloning autoflowers.

Wow she is a weird looking thing! But she is growing! Still interesting stuff!!!!

Awesome post, been wondering for a long time if you could clone autos successfully. Felt like a pos for mistakenly topping my AK auto while doing LST, so maybe i can salvage the clone... Thanks for the info . 😎
