what happens if you cross an auto with a regular (non-auto) strain?-

this is old but you can clone some autos fine.
i did it with an auto gg , i took it in start of flower , it rooted , vegged a bit then flowered as big as the mother.
i think it allowed longer veg though on the clone.
i def got more than the single would of made.
i joined just to add this bc of the wrong information

source, i breed autos and photos for seed banks
No buddy, you didn't.

No buddy, you didn't.
uh yes i did and have people who watched it and had pictures of doing it.
nice job being wrong though.
or being a troll, whatever you are.
i dont get why people have to be so negative, maybe try with a few cultivars instead of just assuming shit or going on hearsay
oh and have a nice day negative nancy :)

Again, no you didn't. You say you took a clone of a FLOWERING auto and it got the same size. Maybe if when it started flowering it was 2 inches tall. Again no you didn't. You can't change the auto genes and once it was flowering it stopped veg growth aside from small stretch and that's not enough for a full plant. You're a clown and clearly delusional.

Love these What if you cross questions. I always think what if you cross a donkey with a onion. A piece of ass that makes tears come to your eyes. Sorry too much White widow

You can't clone autos. Because they flower on how old they are instead of switching to "flower" if you clones a auto, the clone with flower the same time resulting in waste of time.

If you cross, the % of auto gene goes down. You can do it. But there's a chance it won't auto flower

You can clone a auto. But you can't clone every auto. Autoflowers come in all sizes. Mostly under 10 inches. The taller ones have nice branches you can clone. I been growing autos for 10 years.

after 3 or four generations you will have an out flower, not just a single generation

Not true. You don't forget some crosses are unstable crosses and it can happen in the first generation of breeding. Just not very often. Now if you stressed your autos with the light they will hermorphadite be male and female. Thus keeping the same strain going.

I can think of a few situations where you might want to clone an Autoflowering plant. For example if you have a single feminized seed of a very special Auto strain and want to do both use it and recreate seeds for it. You then might wait for good solid vegetative mode and grab a couple of clones for later usable harvest and keep them separate. Then take that mother plant and do the 5 days on 2 days off thing to cause her to self pollinate and produce more seeds of that precise mother for future years.
No no need for cloning to keep the same auto strain. Autoflowers are annuals. The same plant will grow 3 or 4 years or more.
I have had God Bud autos for 3 years. The same plants.
Autos will bud 2 to 3 times a years. Don't butcher it. Just top it when ready leave it alone.
The buds and leaves will die like tree leaves, then new veg comes in. Each time it will increase in size.
Try it. You will be impressed.

Besides cloning downgrades your bud after so many times.

There is a way to get your autos to veg longer. On YouTube it's on Grow Pot Cheeply videos.
Besides autos are annuals. No need to clone them.

Wrong!!!!! Some crosses are unstable and by chance you do have a shot at getting lucky at getting a auto first breeding. Does it happen often. NO it doesn't. But that does not mean you can get lucky and it be possible. Under normal circumstances. It takes breeding to autos to get a auto.

Since this was brought back from the grave... Times have changed. Some auto strains are fairly bigger now. They can be cloned if done right. I tried it once, and it was successful. I got 132g from the mother, 82g from a clone in a 1gal cloth pot + 10g from a clone I let grow out in a 16oz party cup.
The documentation on the cloned auto's is in my journal I'm currently running. It's in the link below this post.

How do you stress an auto with light cause it is not light sensetive in that manner

Hey that’s awesome, I’ve seen one video that kinda showed the same thing. Where does the new veg growth come from?

i'm experimenting with this now. It seems like if you cross an auto and a photo you get different results depending on which parent has the auto trait.
