cloning from feminized plants - Auto Flowering - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Am I alone having trouble getting cuttings from feminized plants to grow? They live, but that's it.

So true. Grow them out, enjoy the autos, being short lived. Some say you can clone- maybe super autos or semi autos, but generally no, cuttings don't thrive.

Autos are notoriously difficult to clone. On top of that, you're reducing the yield of the mother plant. Unlike regular photoperiod plants, you cannot keep autoflowers in vegetative growth until they're the size you want. Any cutting, crushing or other damage/slowdown is going to reduce yield.

As for cloning normal photoperiod plants from feminized seed? They clone just fine.

...wow, did anyone read the op's post? ...he made zero mention of 'autos', his issue is with femminized plants NOT autoflowering plants.

...and to the op, no, my cuts from femminized genetics perform like my regulars do with the caveat that some genepools are more difficult than others.

...what style of cloning do you employ? ...maybe you'd have better luck with a different cloning style.

peace, bozo

But he posted in the auto flower forum so that was kind of a give away.

...he's a noob with 2 posts so maybe what he says is more important than where he says it?

Which is why I answered both possibilities. Yeah, I figured the same as you, bozo.
