Auto Clones Test

[Rwise]

I found training to be great on autos, keep the canopy level and low works best. Tie em down, top em break em over

[PRIMO]

Ok, so being easily bored and naturally curious I've heard you can't train or clone autos, thought I would see what happens. Topping and tying down, again and again, mainline? quad? then what sexline?. About six weeks in I did a trim job and dropped a couple for clones. On the clones I decided to not touch em and see what would happen. I ended up with a two foot cola. Oh yeah these Sweet Tooth autos. are under a 315 lec. 20/4 hr. in 5 gal. smarty pots with my prefered soil amendment, with f.f neuts. The pics are obviously not in order,my bad.

LOL Rwise felt that way about the first auto i grew WTF should of grown 20 to make a lid

[SoOrbudgal]

Do ya need any help with the harvest, maybe hire some trimmers LOL

[Rwise]

I have one going too, just a tad taller than yours if it makes 2 joints I'll be surprised

CDLC clones are growing but already into flowering. as suspected and stated they keep the age and growing stage of the auto mother plant.. But let's see if I can grow them at least 1/2 an inch taller and wider then Rwise

[JohnEmad]

Thanks Rwise Ya, doing it just for fun with no real expectations of a harvest. The leaves are already pointing up and looking better. Realistically I would think the slower flowering autos would be the best candidates for something like this.

[Rwise]

Ok I'll try, it took 10 days to get roots, ~14 days to start growing. During that time it seemed the internal clock was on hold and started counting when she started growing. It was fun to do and watch, but not worth the time involved for a small teeny tiny harvest. If you have extra room go for it, but dont depend on it for a harvest. Consider it a learning thing.

Clones now in solo cups with roots 1.5 " long. Planted in precharged coco/perlite and will be hand watered with a weak nute solution (350-ppm, ph'd close to 5.5) and 36"s below the QB full spectrum light.
Now the test begins!

[JohnEmad]

The CDLC auto clones are showing roots finally after 2 weeks. Again all I did was place them in a glass with ph'd tap water with a little kelp solution and dusted the cut ends in rooting powder.
A few more days and I will place them in solo cups in coco/perlite and see what happens. Doubt I can grow monsters like Rwise but who knows. LOL

[SoOrbudgal]

OK need some help harvesting that monster LOL sorry just messing cause i'm feeling good today.

[SoOrbudgal]

Hmm interesting experiment rooting autos. Good luck

[JohnEmad]

Hey Rwise,
Can you add more info on the cloning time frame. Doesn't appear to be worth it when looking at the size but even a little good smoke can be better then nothing if it doesn't take too long or too many resources.?

[Rwise]

Here is a snowryder I done,,,

[JohnEmad]

9 days and no roots yet.
Cuttings are healthy and green. I suspect they will root fine but it may take a while and then we shall see if they can be grown out quickly and with a decent return on the invested time, space etc.
