hello livingwparents,i have only been growing for 10 months,but i chose auto`s coz of their speed of finish.i read somewhere that you cant clone auto`s coz they wont go back 2 veg,also you will be lucky if they are big enough 2 clone.on my first grow,skunkberry auto from just feminized,i took clones from 2 plants.i took them from the first internode as they were the only ones big enough at 4 weeks,and i could see the pistils starting 2 form.i took 4 cuttings,but only one took root,more luck than skill,as i was brand new 2 all this.this clone never grew more than 6 inches tall,but at harvest it was a solid ball of bud about the size of a grapefruit,yielding half an ounce of dried weed.i dont know if all auto`s will do this,but in my opinion it is worth a try.the older the mother plant is,and into flower the harder it is 2 clone,i done mine at 4 weeks.nothing ventured,nothing gained.good luck in your grow. ps pics of the plant i took the clone from bout a week after pic taken.also pic of nearly finished plant.sorry none of my clone,i lost my phone wid pics in b4 i cud put them in computer.
