the only reason i could justify doing this, is if you broke a branch and you needed to root it so it could finish.

Instead of buying seeds I would recommend you just breed your own. Way cheaper. Just grow a few at the same time and wait for a male, and then harvest the little pollen sacks. Then what you can do is take a little paint brush (with all fans off!!) and brush some pollen onto the lower branches of one of your flowering females. That way you still have seed-free bud on top and only the lower buds grow seeds. You can get a few hundred seeds off each plant and then you can grow as many as you want and never have to order more seeds! That's just my 2 cents.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

what i was getting at is that IF i had cloned the tops of all my Short Riders, 3 months ago, it would take them 2 weeks (average) to root in my DIY Aerocloner, leaving them with 2+ months to grow before flowering begins.

IF i had done that 3 months ago i could have doubled my plant count, and had bushier plants.

The reason people breed seeds is to sell them. they are small and have a long shelf life. When it comes to a private garden, it is much more beneficial to clone than make seeds

Usually cloning is way better I agree. The reason for breeding seeds is because we're discussing autoflowering plants that don't tend to clone very well.

Breeding auto flowers isn't easy. It takes a few generations of offspring to get a batch of seeds that have the auto flower trait, even if your male is an auto and you female is aswell. The first generation might not even be autos. Breeding isn't something to be taken lightly, if you want something stabilized that is. If you don't care, then chuck that pollen bro!

sumtimes short riders don't auto flower, so it may be a good specimen to clone if he's not done in 2 months or showing pistils yet
