Is it a good idea to top a Lowryder V2 Fem?? I heard the plant will not be able to recover because of its low growing time.

ALSO

Does cloning any plaant work the same when its outdoors??

I wouldn't top a auto flowering plant. Their yields are already low enough already. The idea with auto flowering is to have as less stress as possible in the 9 weeks of its short life so you can yield the most.

You can take a clone from a plant outdoors and bring indoors. Do not clone auto flowering though.

Not sure why you'd say that? The point of topping is to get more cola's...more yield!

Autoflowering plants start budding based on age from seed, so the top would just start budding like it's mother, you basicly stop the the top from growing up for light and focus on roots when you top the plant. Thus wasting time the plant could be vegging, creating more room for bud. Tho you could top it for 4 main colas and a little extra on the top? But I wouldn't waste my time for something that would add maybe a quarter to a half a O...

two cola"s doesnt always mean more yeild..it really depends on the strain..DP blueberry is one to top it will have more buds..other strains just share the bud from cola to cola...cloning outdoors is no good..bring it indoor its reallly easy to do https://www.rollitup.org/3601-post1.html that will work perfect ill vouche 100%..as far as cloning auto flowerin strain i dunno..i guess this is something i need to test..i could see why not too..but it never hurts to try
