Auto-Flowering varieties Flower according to a "genetic timeline" and not dependent on a photo-period. So while you can take a clone from an auto-flowering female, quite successfully, it will retain the same "genetic timeline" as the mother, and throw itself into flowering accordingly.
It is possible. But not worth it. Since autoflowers flower based on age and not light regime. So the possibility is there but may not be worth it.

Here's one i was given, You wont get much out of them so it's really pointless.

no you can get seeds that are not feminized in autos .
all my blue hemalaya diesels where reg 3 of 5 turned male

Some are feminized and some are regulars some strains give you an option. It depends on what the breeder did and what the seedbank carries and has in-stock.
But they they are like photo seeds(dioecious just as all cannabis is) so a bean could be male could be female. Feminized seeds are generally females unless stressed and hermied but fem seeds are the result of breeders actions not something normally done by the plant.

Yes, you can make a cutting and root it, though just because you "can" doesn't mean you "should".
Yes, if the parent is auto, a cutting will be too.
The problem is that autos flower by age, not by light cycle.
So your cutting will be the same age. . .and therefore finish flowering. . .at the same time as the mother plant.
Since there in no way to maintain an autoflower as a vegetating mother plant, there is no point in trying to clone one.
You don't really need an autoflower for that. Just buy a fast regular indica strain, clone the heck out of it, then put a clone into flower every two months.
If you want to keep running autos, for whatever reason, just cross two for a ceed run. Then you'll have plenty of ceeds to continue growing.
No.
While most of the sellers of autoflowers only sell femmed autos, there are still a few companies that sell regular auto beans, that you could cross to make ceeds.

autoflowering marijuana strains cannot be cloned effectively because they will start to produce buds in two to three weeks after fully sprouting, regardless of the light cycle they will receive. they can be cloned yes but there's no point of doing that because you can revert it back to vegging
