You "can" clone autos (ie cuttings taken from one will root), but you "shouldn't" do it, because it won't accomplish anything positive for you.Not sure where I read it, but is it true you shouldn't clone autos because you will hurt their growth? Does that mean we should only clone non autos? Maybe this was for just a super short variety? Thanks for your replies.
Well, there are certain "fast" strains that can flower under as little as 6 or 7 hours of darkness that you can maintain in vegetative state if you keep them under more than 18 hours of light per day.If u clone it and keep it under 24 hrs of light it wont bud. Certian strains at least
Not so sure about this. Everytime I have ran an auto it is kept under 24/0 light cycle and it buds.If u clone it and keep it under 24 hrs of light it wont bud. Certian strains at least

umm, didn't you say it won't flower under 24 hours of light, at least certain strains??No shit cuz u kept it under 24hrs.. Wat i jus said..
This comes down to a semantics question. What's an "autoflower"?and jogro, i'm sure you already know this, but the reason why dr greenthumbs iranian is different to true auto's is because it doesn't contain any ruderalis genetics in it..
Mikado is NOT an auto-flower strain under any circumstances!autoflowering means it flowers regardless of what you do and regardless of the light cycle
yes you can clone it and the clone will flower itself to an early grave , there wont be any point , left on the mother plant it would have produced more , expect the clone which will of course still finish at the same time as mother to make around 1 gram of nothingness , in other words its pointless , autos need to be grown from seed
now semiautoflowers are something else , they are plants that when exposed to certain environmental conditions flower out , this can be light cycles bellow 24 hrs , food issues , root bound issues and even bugs , if a plant can be kept in veg indoors but flowers if exposed to natural light cycles ( 16.5 hrs ideally ) then this is a semiauto , clones can be taken and as long as you dont stress the life out of them ( the cloning process may force them to flower alone mind ) then you can take clones and pop them outdoors whenever you like knowing they will simply flower
as for iranian , nowt special being honest , theres phenos of ak47 cherry that auto along with afg and vrs others , mikado is another good contender for a plant that flowers regardless , the closest match i ever grew in size to a lowryder or a cross of lowryder was fast blast , this year i will be planting out around 40-50 semi autos from gurillas gold to danish to sweet105 etc etc , all will be vegged indoors and flower once dropped outdoors
