"so does that mean that every time you want this plant you have to get seeds? "
No, it means you can't successfully clone an auto for practical reasons.
By the time a plant is old enough to give up clones, 4-5 weeks by size, it is already well into flowering. The AKR's I got going now will be ready for harvest
between weeks 7 and 8 in dirt. If you take a clone when the auto mother is 4-5 weeks in dirt it would take a couple weeks before you had a small clone ready for harvest.
If you could get it to root. Which is difficult as I've tried it a bunch of times and never got one to root. I would have to buy general, non-feminized seeds and produce
my own seeds if that is what I needed.
" can u still clone it or would it take to long for the clone to root and grow before it starts to flower??" See above. Autos will not root as clones. Maybe someone can do it,
but me and a million other guys doubt it. Say you plant an auto seed on Jan. 1. On Feb. 1 you take a clone from the auto mom and put it in your dome. Two weeks later,
even if you could get the clone to root, you would have a small clonelet just about ready for harvest. You would have been farther ahead by leaving the clone on the mother
so it could produce something.
