The Journey of an Autoflower Clone

First grow, started with some wedding cake bag seed that ended up being an auto. I had already started experimenting and cloning before I realized it was an autoflower. For some strange reason the many shocks of white pistils that appeared in increasingly more and more numbers everyday was still not enough to convince my rookie mind that half my plants were flowering despite 18/6. At the time I had thought “daaamn massive preflowers… this one, DEFINITELY FEMALE

( Autoflowers you dolt, you got bag-seed-auto-flowers )

Nevertheless when I took the cutting it was 1-2 weeks into flowering ( which I think isn’t good ) and the general consensus of what I got researching cloning autos wasn’t any better ( clones retain the timeline of its parent, not viable, poor yields ) but I got extra time, extra space, and extra soil so I decided to run it anyways and see what happens. I’m just hoping I don’t get some type of lame lollipop… 4 inch branch 2 inch nug

As you can see… 2 inch branch 1/2 inch nug. Thus at the moment I am not quite as estatic as I think I should be. This sat in a rapid rooter for 5 days before shooting a root and as soon as that happened I put it in a 5 gal coco loco / kind soil setup. I figured the supersoil would take the science out of figuring out how to introduce all those nutes to an already flowering plant. This is 5-7 days in soil

I have been thinking about cloneing some of my auto flowers this time. Kinda just top them and then use that as the clone, I know they will be tinny but thought it would be fun to see them start at flower. @Starless have you tried this a lot?
