Come to mexico with me, We could photo document this in the wild.
I may be a Trait. Mexican breeders breed those plants for that reason.

So after reading 33 pages I flip to this? It's over and everyone just quit? Hmm, being the experimentalist that i am, I wanna try this
With a few more variables. Being familiar with a wide variety of plants, and the way that each has it's own specific needs&tendacies, I believe that this can be made to work with mj in a controllable, repeatable fashion.
I'd sure like to speak
With a few of the believers and confer..
This was a great thread/ certainly piqued Interest in a lot of folks.
Even if some of the interest was aimed at nay saying. It takes all kinds folks. Indeed it
Does.

You know autoflowers are a cross of the ruderalis plant (hemp without thc that flowers upon age not photo period) and a good strain. I see why auto flowers are so popular because the word auto flower is just attractive lol... But in reality auto flowers compromise potency and render the grower without control of his/her yield... Although from a botanists stand point it's very interesting just not practical for what the average grower wants to achieve (a potent strain with control over your harvest). There are many different cloning methods we should start a new thread on that as I would be interested. Remember experiments are the reason we can even communicate right now. 
sad panda read the whole thread and everyone quit. This was abloody good experiment, gogo again!

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I'm amazed at the potential for this type of cloning technique.
This actually looks very possible. I've done some research on hops (ie Humulus lupulus) which is in the Cannabaceae family, and root cloning is the most popular way to propagate them. Though hops have a much stronger root than cannabis (hop plants will regrow from their roots from the previous year) I believe that cannabis would be able to do the same thing. Hops contain a rhizome which is an underground stem.
I'm a new grower but I believe using a root from the 3rd order lateral part of the root system of cannabis would be about the same as a rhizome.
link: Hop Rhizomes: What, how, and when
Perhaps a stem could even be turned into a kind of rhizome by planting it with rooting gel or putting it in a bubbler. This would be ideal for shipping clones over long distances or storing genetics for long periods of time. I will soon be harvesting my own crop and will try saving some 3rd order roots and also creating a rhizome-like stem. I'm planning on moving soon so this will get a real test.
I'll make a post with links to any useful research I find on this, what methods I used to prepare my roots, and hopefully good results. I didn't have a lot of time for this post but I wanted to get my thoughts out there to see what the community thinks of this.

I skimmed through this thread looking for the Eureka moment but didn't find one.
I'm interested because I have two White Widow autos with wildly different phenotypes, one is tall (30-32") and the othr (17-19") both are very bushy but the short one is ideal for my "Bath tub" growing, with light leaks. I need short plants in SCROG to fit in my ~50" max height and 2'x3' Scrog net. I grow in a modified Stinkbug NFT system that is easy and efficient. If I could root clone from it it would be brilliant.
If I could root clone these autos, or a Cinderella Jack auto I could save on seed costs and keep an auto perpetual grow going.
