Autoflower can't clone

I know you can't clone an autoflower, just wanted to know why exactly.

Photoperiod plants can be cloned because they can be kept in veg for however long you want and can theoreticly live forever, so its possible to grow a whole new plant from a cutting. AUtoflowers however start flowering automaticly when they reach maturity and die at the end of their flowering cycle, since any cuttings you take from an auto will be the same age as the mother plant they will start flowering at the same time making it imposibble to veg them into a new plant, nearly imposible to get them to root and in general its just a waste of time as they will finish flowering and die at roughly the same time the mother does

Should of known that, thanks Adjorr.

It's my first auto, just seeing what all the hype is about.

I have a rather interesting little plant,shes an auto clone whos mom I harvested a week or two ago,.Shes just a small bud on a stem!
This is a regular clone taken at the same time

you can clone rudies. it's not easy, and they don't like it, but they do make it. fucking ruderalis is a pita.
