How do you know it’s a auto? If you cloned it and then flowered the clone it’s not a auto, if it was an auto it is going to flower no matter what, by the time your clone rooted the main plant would have been flowering pollen sacs
Whelp, frk.
I cloned it at 6nodes. Took 3 and split into a top for test sex flower and two for learning training techniques if they were female.
They were not so I scrapped them but kept the father for breeding later on as plan b.
You can't clone a true "auto flowering" plant. (To my knowledge of the matter). An "auto" has a "pre-determined" lifespan whether you are growing it at 12/12 or 18/6 or 20/4 or 24hrs. Doesn't matter. You clone to lengthen a "photo-period" plant lifespan of genetics.
If you breed a "true auto", I believe it is either 1/8 or 1/16 auto-flowering traits in the f1's of having that particular trait and as you progress the lines, you will get more and more. Aiuto-flower is about the "seed". The more seed, the more chances of finding the desired auto trait in the line. Does that make sense?
Most likely, the more auto male will show 1st everytime, if it has went the proper length of time.
I'd let him go and collect the pollen. Decide what to do later.
When I first started looking into all this back in Aug, I had seen a time lapse video where a guy had but it flowered at the same time as the mother, just at a smaller size and the mother got a decent multi-cola, but it wasn't worth it overall.
Pollen collecting was always the plan, but I wanted to let him grow a good while first. All reading has pointed to thc being fully present in males (albeit slightly lower) but still gives great benefits when baked or juiced.
BUT THIS STILL BEGS THE ORIGINAL QUESTION.
Why is my guy flowering himself under 24hr light?!?!!!!?!?
And an epic many thanks to all present!
