auto-flower clones?

hey there, i just got 2 clones and i've had them under 24/7 lights, 8 2ft t5s... It looks as though they're starting to bud (little white hairs forming at the nodes all over the place), even though they're only 8 inches tall. I understand that a clone is genetically the same age as it's mother. So would that mean that if these clones are from an auto-flowering strain, there would be no way to veg them for a few months?

Wow surprised somebody took the time to even clone a autoflower. You sure there autoflowers?? maybe your just seeing preflowers. Pics??

If you could get some better pics of the whole plant id be able to tell you. They are going to be the same age as the plant they came from if its an auto. You can not put it back into veg. from the pics i do see the typical 3 finger fan as well as the random internodes consistant with the autos i have grown as well as ones i have seen grown. The preflowers you are seeing are more than just signs of sex there starting to cluster and if your running 24 hrs of light and its producing this action there is an auto gene in there somewhere. I have seen half autos out there and this may be one. Id still need to see better pics of the whole plant.

Those one two and three bladed leaves are consistent with a re-vegged plant, the branching looks like a re-vegged plant as well. Re-vegged plants can make more pre-flowers than usuall. But it might be some kind of auto flower too. I don't know. Post a couple more pics, like fullduplex said so we can have a look at the whole plant.

I figured out what is going on with your plants. They are clones from a flowering plant. At least the one on the left is. It has all the signs; the weird leaves, the very bushy overall look of the plant and the flowers. As that plant gets older the leaves will start to grow normally and the flowers will stop untill you put it under 12-12

Why you he put it under 12/12 if there auto flowers?? Autoflowers are time sensitive to flowering not light schedule :-D.

i know if they're auto flower nothing i do will change them flowering. I don't know for sure and am trying to reach my buddy that gave these to me... i'm hoping he just took the clone from a non auto-flowering plant and i can revert it... Again, i understand that if it IS auto flowering, there's nothing to do but bud it...
