Yes you can clone autos. I've done it many times. Critical auto did well. Look back to page 22. I didnt veg it for long so it grew into a dual headed pinecone size plant but i had to accomadate for the nearing winter. I only flowered outside so by the time i took it out of my box it got hit with fall weather. This was last year. This fall i am moving to an indoor setup cuz im moving to the city.
Im not saying everyone has success reveging autos, just that i have.
I grow under insect netting which covers up some smell. But i live far away from schools and such that would make people care what i am doing. I haven't got the ok to grow by the government yet but I do keep a pretty nice garden around the cannabis. Also i use bokashi which has a strong smell of its own. This stuff i have made from fermenting spent coffee grinds and coffee has a pretty weedy smell, as you probably know.
To help your plants survive tomorrow's journey, simply water them and put a ziplock bag over top the container. Zip the bag tight around the rim to prevent moisture loss. This will give you at least a week of cushion room to disappear. You may see some stressed plants from excess moisture but it's nothing you cannot fix woth some tender loving care.
Something like that
