I am cloning some autos now also. Pretty sure its not going to work because its going to be hard to keep them in flower. Thats why I didnt start a diary yet. For them to root just keep the root moist and temps not too high. I dont use root hormones or anything but it would speed up the rooting. In plain bubbled water they usually root in about 14 days for me on average. I got a diary monitoring my fire og clones I am trying to root now.
