How to multiply my auto-flowering plants?

I have a question i currently have 2 feminized jock horror auto-flowering from nirvana seeds that are about a month old It's growing in a unused attic under a roof window and they seems nice and healthy.

I found out that cloning autos will fail because the clones will be in, and follow, the same automatic cycle as the mother :evil:.

I was wondering if it was possible to re-veg an auto-flowering? and what would happen if i took clones just before it 'dies' (I'm guessing that's what the plant does after it flowers) or can i turn a feminized plant into a Hermie so i can produce seeds? as you can see I am still a newb at growing (actually this is my first attempt ) and i don't have and won't have a grow room anytime soon for a number of reasons, so i can't use light cycles (although this should be irrelevant for autos). I also herd about some people that plants last several harvests i think even the nirvana website mentioned this:
In areas with longer summers, it is even possible to harvest multiple crops in a single year!

so if i clone after a harvest can i clone a bunch of plants to get a better 2nd harvest?

so the question in short is: can i somehow use my auto-flowering plant's to create more plants for another cycle?

(would mush appreciate any input or ideas, since I'm to poor to keep buying new seeds :cry:).

Cloning autos is pointless, just stress the shit out of her or buy regular nonefeminized auto seeds and do seedcrops with the best male and best female in the 10pack of seeds you order!

You will get hermie seeds.

Also you cant reveg a auto they flower by age. So its impossible

what's if i use both plants and use the Hermie pollen with the other feminized jock horror, wouldn't i get a 50% chance of getting a non-Hermie from the seeds (just an idea, probably flawed)

Doubt seriously you'll have any luck on hermie seeds.....Your best choice is getting the seeds the natural way....male and female together through their cycle (or at least after the balls on the male spew their magic dust)....Have your JH shown sex yet? If you are lucky enough to get one of each sex, you're all set. And IMHO, potency isn't reduced by much. I just attained a bunch of seeds from a lowlife pollination. Now growing several of those seeds. Last year, I selectively pollinated a couple of buds on a lowryder 2 and had those few seeds. So after a simple 2 month season of growing, I've supplied myself with many many seasons of product.

I haven't got any signs yet But they where all feminized seeds so unless I happen to be really lucky there won't be no males :(

Take your female plant and force it to hermie. If it hermies on it's own it's got shit genetics (just toss it). To force a female to hermie, stress it out by topping it, supercropping, or even sudden changes in the light schedules repetitively until you see testicles starting to form on the female, then you'll get a shitload of fem seeds :P good luck

(is it even possible to turn a feminized seed into hermi?)

That's what many growers do, so they keep seed runs instead of clones. Just screw with the lights and that will do it.

When I get a seed or two from one of my plants ( I only buy award winning strains/ fem seeds) I thank the plant and hold tight the seed. Always grow female, never a herm.

You don't get hermi seeds from a hermed plant. You get feminized seeds from a female that went hermi.

This is exactly what happened for me.
Last year I had 5 Thai SS, all female, one hermied & pollinated a nearby Diesel and a Super Skunk.
Both produced some viable seeds that I carefully segregated and saved. This year I have one of each in my garden, BOTH are female and they are the STARS of my grow! I have named them SSTSS, and SSTD. Since they are "native" to my patio, both grow at an incredible rate and seem to love LST. Pix below show: one each of clones, center is SSTD, & last is the SSTSS. While these were an "accidental strain", they are the BEST I've ever had on my patio! Good luck & good grow.......BB

If only I could pollinate a cannabis plant myself :hump: it would save me so mush work but now it seems like i have to make a hermi to do the pollinating. :weed:
