New Grower Cloning question?

[nuudle]

Hi all, I have some auto seeds on the way! I searched and could'nt find info on cloning an autoflower plant so I defer to the experts. I have grown indoor and outdoor for several years but never flowered and auto. The price of seeds kills me so I would like to somehow save the genetics if possible. Thanks in advance!

Forgot to mention, the seeds I have on the way are 10 lowrider #2 and 10 white russian auto

I was planning on seeding a couple clones that have taken for me of some S60 ill snap a few pics for you here shortly if you want. They havnt really put on more production pistol or height wise. I have taken one out of the tray to see if there are roots and there are so to say cloning is beneficial even for seed making is just mediocre, not worth the time or space or effort. If you want to make seeds just deicate one plant as the mom and take chosen female and male and shake them outside of your grow room then spray the newly pollenated mom with some water drench her to make sure the pollen wont seed any other females in your grow.

If your getting reg seeds then you can make tons with a male and a female but since your worried about genes im going to assume that they are feminized if not then disregard this but if so then the only real way is to use something to induce male flowering (herm) then take that pollen of the herm and pollenate a different female giving you all female seeds. There are several ways but one that stands out to me is Colloidal Silver its popular and ive seen good results on this forum using the spray.

They are feminized.. Can clones be taken?

Hey nuudle welcome to the site
You can clone autoflower strains. But it's not recommended as you can't really 'veg' them since they work on their own time. This means that the clones will be the same age as the mothers
As Indica suggested. You should look into creating your own feminized seeds using colloidal silver

ILuvIndica has put forth the closest possible way to make seeds from that you got if it is only feminised seeds.

Of course if you got both sexes you can make seeds right off the bat just leave a male and female together and you will get a seeded plant.

You can always use a male from a different type of plant and come up with a cross of some kind. Don't bother worrying about whether you know much about genetics. Breeding is about 80% luck. 20% of the time you get so ething way worse, 20% of the time you might do a little better and 50 % of the time it is just like the parents one or the other. It is fun give it a whirl. What have you got to lose.

Hey thanks for the info! Looking into colloidal silver, any good resourses?

Yes exactly Autos produce floreign by age not photo-period like photos meaning you cant reveg them yes you can clone them but look at the outcome, does this look enticing and does it look like you will actually produce something worthwhile ? take it from me its not, try getting some CS spray these clones where cut and placed in tap water and left to sit no light no cloning gel the others were placed in soil placed directly under a t5.

Hey it is poss to clone a auto I did it with a Auto AK47 but....I would say if to dothat would be best with a amazon auto...a big one and something that would go a bit longer I think it LBH has some in the store that could prob work to clone as they take longer...but thats just cloning after to save that clone in veg to later flower...IME dont think itll work the clone will flower same as the mom even in 24/0 So best bet...CS..or get some reg seeds.
