Indoor Autoflower Clones? Can't be done... Or can it?

[JM]

yes... ive done no numbers vs nmbers testing... but but my judgement... you lose yield in cloning and also stall time to harvest... at least for the short autos... now super autos (90-120 days) is a different story, I'm told. Cant wait to try some SCH soon!

They got allot bigger than i was expecting. Next we need to try this on some indy dom autos to see how big they get.

I'm down like a clown!

it seems pretty point less to do this with regular autos. But i will definatly be cloning some super cali haze to stunt em so they can fit in my tent. how did you go about cloning the regular autos?

The usual controlled environment, high humidity... lower light intensity, cloning gel... unferted soil.

Finals on the mom

see what happens when you rob hr of her energy for cloning? lol the clones combine will produce more than the mom (of course she was also a little light starved being as she was next to another huge ass plant!)

Final day for clones from 2/14 and 2/16 - 54 and 52 days respectively from cuttings

The last one with my 2 finger tips in it is the one i started spraying with colloidal silver WAYYYY too late I found out later on.... lesson learned..

dumped out you can clrearly see, just by root mass, which ones were the biggest... I'll ry a clone round again soon.. I think I have a better understanding of when , how, and the conditions that must be met for better success... overall... I'd say it was a worthwhile experiment... def a breeder-booster option... I wouldn't try it for yield gains just yet... but maybe refined it's possible to boost yields... though I have to say... when you can go 0-60 in 60 days.... why clone? to autos! Thank you Ruderalis! :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

:ama: Autos March! :ama:

OK... so it took me a whiule to get his together... but final clone weights are in:

17 grams off all 4 (well 6 but 2 were discarded in weight tests due to other testing reasons:undisclosed... sorry

so loooks like 4 grams or so each... which works out much less than a well grown uncloned mother... but its great for breeding delays

I've rescanned the thread, I havent found any updates... The only thing I'd say.. is as soo as you go into soil.. make sure biology is present (myco fungi etc) get a good innoculant... and NEVER use chem ferts!!! But, I'm a purist..
