autoflowering is supposed to flower even on a 18/6 or 24 hrs of light. I haven't tried them but it makes sense you won't be able to clone it since you can't really vegetate it, the plant would turn out smaller I would think unless you take good care of it. they come from places that have a short growing season. the flowering always takes time, the plant might be smaller , flowers too, because of the short light schedule
