corse u can clone them, u could clone a clone of a clone of a feminised seed and always retain the genetics. As for auto i think they have small yeilds imo, i see threads that experienced growers have had ok yeilds with them.
not confused about the autos cloning just wanted to know the difference btwn auto and fem auto
yea i hv seen them as 2well aboutt high yeilding autos like "think different", a gud grower can yeild 500g/ plant

i doubt many ppl on the planet could get 500g off a auto. Autos came from weak thc and defficiant strains that just flower at any light cycle when mature. 500g per sq meter more likely but still a hell of a achievement for a plant that usually chooses to flower at 8 to 10 inches.
oh ok misunderstood gsm

I've never had any problems cloning from feminized seeds. It just the same as cloning from any other seed IMO.

You can clone Auto's but the clones will remain the same age and will still flower at the same time. Which means they will immediately go into flower when they are ready. The problem with this often lies in the lack of root development so by the time they have healed and are ready to flower the clones will be small resulting in a smaller yield.
I'm a little medicated so I hope I explained that correctly...

I'm wondering if anyone knows the secret to making feminized seeds? I've read that you take a female plant and stress it so that it hermies, and that's how you get the feminized seeds through that hermied pollen sac. I've also heard though that each time you do that it increases the chances you will get a hermie next time. So if you take a feminized seed and stress it to hermie, and then use that it will be more likely to hermie when you plant it's seeds. I've heard it's best to use a regular seed and then take a female and stress it. Is there any truth to this? Obviously there has to be a way to make them, but I'm just wondering if anyone knows the correct way.

when colloidal silver solution is sprayed regularly on a female cannabis plants during the early flowering stage, she will grow male "balls" (which are full of female pollen) instead of growing buds.
This allows the grower to collect pollen from a female cannabis plant. You can use this all-female pollen to pollinate another female plant. With two female plants as parents, ALL the seeds will end up being female.
That is why colloidal silver allows can be used create female x female cannabis crosses and produce your own feminized seeds.

U must not have read too much then, there is a world of info on this on the web.
thx fa the input brother

to the op, fem's aren't made by stressing a plant and forcing it to go hermie.. fem's are made by applying a chemical like collodia silver, to a healthy female which forces that plant to grow male sex organs, stamen..
some breeders will either take the pollen made by the male stamen and use it to knock up a different female plant, or some will use the pollen on the same plant the pollen came from.. don't really see much of a difference honestly in either method.. seeds that come from the stamen used to knock up the same plant are called s1's, or selfed, and seeds which come from a different plant are called fem's.. s1's are also always fem's.
but there is no hermie trait in this genetics to begin with, so no hermie trait to be passed onto the offspring.. the only reason the plants grew male stamen were the introduction of a chemical, therefore these plants are not true hermies.. if they were never sprayed with a chemical, they never would have grown male stamens..
and as far as cloning an auto plant, it's already been cleared up.. yes, you can always take a clone from an auto flowering plant.. the problem arises in the way auto's work.. they don't have a veg period like photoperiod plants do, and they there fore start to flower automatically at a certain age not by a change in light cycle...
so if you were to clone an auto, by the time it rooted itself, it would already want to be flowering as technichly a clone is the same age as the plant it was cut from.. this would mean that a clone that hardly has any roots and would be very tiny would try flowering, and the yield would probably be like a gram or so per clone.. pretty much a waste of time unless you of course enjoy growing low yielding plants of course..
