ok so Im looking into growing automatic white russian for my next grow. they are autoflowering. can you still get clones off of autoflowering strains or what? im thinking SOG for this grow and dont want to be growing from seed every time but i didnt know how these strains work since ive never fuckst wit em before. anybody know? i bet its the same as lowryder. how does that strain work? thanks for all the knowledge!

and they suggest a 20 on 4 off light cycle for these auto plants. can you run a 24 hour cycle? will this work? if the plants rely on age than the light shouldnt even matter much right, and then a 24 hour cycle would make either the yields bigger or the life cycle shorter, either which is good.

ive only done one lowryder but by the logic of it i don't think cutings off an auto plant would be feesable, since after u take the clone stick it under a light with even a 24 hour light cycle it would still think it was ready to flower and flower, I have not personally tryed to take clones off any auto plant except for the lowryder which failed misserably, i hope i told ya somethin ya didn't already no and good luck,

yeah, my early assumption would be that this would not work unless you can keep it in vegg somehow. so everytime you grow this you have to grow from seed? thats different. but not necessarily bad.

if ur willing to take the space and time you could make your own seeds via un male, i couldn't because having a male lowryder would pollinate things i dont want it pollinate so it isn't practical for me, im gona stick to my big girlies, but good luck brother

i have a autoflower strain i clone it can be done just put in really big pot i use 8 gallons and it forces it to veg to expand root to end of container then they budding really takes off and 3 ounces per plant :)

heres something: would it be practical to run the autoflowering plant under a normal veg 18/6 hour cycle, but leaving this plant in veg and not letting it go to flowering, then taking clones from it?

and another thing, i heard about the autoflowering plant being able to do the light cycle 20/4 or even 24/0, if this is true, do you use a HPS the whole time or a MH the whole time? whats the schedule on this.

pointless to take clones from an autoflowerer, it will flower when it wants and midas well just keep it all in tact with its orig plant, will be no difference in the yield really, just more of a pain in the ass.

I got 3 cutting that are from Sweet Afghani Delicious that I'm trying to clone so I'll let you know how that goes. I had a few more but they must have gotten air in the root or something as they wilted,but they were showing root growth and it's only been 4 or so days. I'll post pics if they root.
