Clone a Blooming Auto?

So I've read a little about monster cropping, but came across a comment that said you can NOT take a clone from an auto flowering plant in bloom phase, and expect it to produce. I've rooted some cuttings, but do not want to find out I wasted my time two months from now.. Thanks!

Yes, likely a waste of time... You cannot send an auto back into veg...

People say you can't but it's more like you shouldn't it has to do with its genes. The reason is the plant is in bloom and so is the clone will also be in bloom shouldnt you make one

Not exactly

Autos basically operate on a genetic clock. They don't flower based on light cycles like normal cannabis. They flower because they reach a certain age and their genes tell them to. A clone from an auto will be on the same genetic clock as the mother it ca me from. Basically means that a cutting from an auto that is sexually mature will begin trying to produce buds immediately.
