Flowering auto cuttings

Curious...have you ever successfully harvested anything decent from pruned, flowering, autoflower branches...if so, did you just stuff them in a small pot of soil or what? ...for example:

I got a bit over 16g off this 24 Carat clone, but I took the cutting much earlier, on day 22 from sprout. It's still probably nowhere near as useful as cloning photoperiods, but as Son of Hobbes said could be useful for seedmaking.

You could graft them to a donnor plant if they are very early flower or late veg cuttings. I've done it with 2 different strains and it worked, not really worth doing unless it's for experimental purposes.

Glad I don't need the weight and can compost, but someday I'll have enough space for a garden of mini flowers from my auto-cuttings

Let's see 'em rooted! The internet will hate you for doing this! lol

I post a picture of your flowered clone on Facebook just now and I can already feel the shit show beginning to wind up. There's like an organ playing in the background with a monkey banging a set of cymbals.

Yes, you can clone autoflowers by definition of cloning. Your cuttings will root.

The problem is that you can't keep the clones in a state of perpetual vegetation like you can with photoperiods by controlling the length of day. So your clones are still going to flower automatically, regardless of photoperiod, which means the potential for growing larger plants from clone stock with autos just isn't really there.

Food for thought on autoflower clones; if you're wanting to play around with breeding, one small rooted clone can still be pollinated to produce a number of seeds, and makes selective pollination much less risky in terms of working with pollen around an entire plant.

Some guy using L-Triptophan has successfully extended veg indefinitely and cloned autos over on icmag link. Opens a whole new world for autos.

That was an interesting read. Only thing I'm wondering is how long the triptophan effects last after discontinuing spraying. If you could keep a mother going, get clones and root/ veg them on tripto for a while then have them revert back to auto after stopping it would be a game changer. If you have to do your lights at 12/12 like photos, well you might as well grow photos and save yourself the hassle.

They are all auto still...even after extended veg or clone....no light change. Seems he said in a matter of days after stop spraying it will preflower if it's time to. Just stop spraying with the triptophan and it continues as a regular auto. So yes...game changer. Going to be some massive autos coming from everywhere soon. I figured around 2lb was previous possibility....with space and time the sky's the limit now.

Seems I might to start looking for some triptophan.

L-Tryptophan

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid and is used by the brain to produce serotonin, the inhibitory neurotransmitter responsible for normal sleep. Insufficient amounts of serotonin are often responsible for insomnia, depression, ADD, restless leg syndrome and many other disorders. Tryptophan is...
