Cuttings from Auto flowering plants, is it possible?

[Bday Prang]

Just wondering if one can successfully take cuttings from auto flowering plants, and grow them to maturity,  or will they start flowering when they reach the same age as the "mother" plant

No you can't all cuttings will follow the same date as the original.

thanks for confirming that.   I read somewhere that a huge amount of ornamental bamboo originates from the same "mother" and a whole lot of people in the UK where whinging that their costly yet new and ostensibly young  plants had unexpectedly died (of old age basically)

And, when crossing/hybridizing C. Ruderalis (autoflowers), the dominant autoflower trait (day neutral flowering) becomes recessive, appearing in only 25% of the crosses (autoflower x autoflower). If crossing with a photoperiod plant, the autoflower trait (day neutral) is lost. It essentially takes 5-6 crosses to stabilize the autoflowering trait.

 

Autoflower strains are extremely fickle and unpredictable in the best of environments. The slightest bit of stress and they will flower unpredictably with minimal yields.
