I think the good thing potentially about long auto is that (im hoping) you can take cuttings.
Oh right lond auto as in an auto that has a longer vegative stage than standard auto that buds almost streight away yeah lol but in terms of keeping a clone I dont think that would be possible, as they are still autoflowering, and under 24/24 would still bud,
I remember biddy early being kept by a friend of mine who kept it under 24/24 but it would not keep in veg and even transplanting and cutting off roots, put it back somewhat but it would not revert to veg stage and was a waste of time for cuttings (this member posts on uk outdoor thread)
and i would imagine it would be even harder keeping the danish in veg being as they appear to finish, so early, in august for some people even in as such northern countries as denmark. (colder than scotland, but-far less rain)

Don`t think it will work , even with a longer auto if you were to take a cut early & then place it under a long light regime for vegging the clone itself will still keep it`s auto traits & go to flower ?
I think the only option is to seed if you want to keep the plant .
Pity about the hermie Rocket , 1st one from this strain i`ve heard of , fingers x`d it`s the last .
Heres acouple of pics of the Erd/Purt female i have ,she's the shortest female in there but well formed and budding well .

I havent tried this with these plants so i dont know, but what im assuming is they will keep growing roots while flowering as all autos presumably must.
And since for any plant its all about how much root you can grow, then by dividing the plant i will create more rooted specimens, that though they wont grow as large as a plant grown from seed, the aggregate will be an increased yield.
It may work out that i end up with a number of small stature plants, which would suit my purposes to some extent.
Like i say, i dont know, i havent grown any long autos, in fact the only autos i have tried are two lots of joint doctor.

Rocket, those plants are haring away, will you make seed for use later this year?
Hi Mossy & MJB
You get the odd hermy now and it again but im not sweating it. The flock needs thinned so any weak ones with a bad structure and slow to flower will be culled unless someone wants them to continue flowering to the end ..we'll see.
I have to agree with MJB on the cuttings from auto's .. i took a cutting from my Big Devil super auto and it rooted but just continued to flower and only grew a half inch or so ...but it was very tiny and cute ...got a joints worth out of her tho so its not all bad.
I dont think the seeds will be ready in time for this year but next year will be rocking

Like i say, you may well both be right, but anything is worth a try.
I have seen a thread in here from last year where someone told you that you wouldnt get any decent ganja from outside, but it didnt stop you trying. Nor should it, and arent you glad.
It wont cost me more than a few pence worth of compost to experiment.
By all means experiment, thats what its all about 
it was just my experience with a clone off a auto. longer autos might get a little bit bigger , you could lollypop a hundred of them tho .

That would be excellent, i have a very bright velux window id like to grow a load under. Both lots of Low Ryder and Low Ryder x ak47 where done under the velux to save on power and give me a bit extra.
Both did really well considering how little attention i paid them, i made a load of seeds from the LR x AK47 so ill add those to the mix.
My Hashplant2's are still tiny at present, so we shall see.
Any pics of your Hashplant2's Mossy ,,, mine seem to grow really tall ...male and females alike. i had to cull a Rd x OFN male tonight it wasnt a nice plant and had off coloured leafs so its gone ... i got pics of my 2 HFH scottish females but it wont let me up load them ... i'll try again,
Heres the pics of the HFH Scottish girls .. and they look amazing .. the largest one had the most amazing serrated razor edges and the little one has big leafs and looks more indica dom.
heres the pics
The two together.
Serrated leaf from large plant
Leaf from small plant .. not so serrated but chunky.
Top of the small plant.
Two little buds on the large plant
Huge fan leaf on the small plant .

Hi Weegie & JGP im happy with the way things are going so far the males are gonna pop anyday
Somebody told me that to several yrs ago , & i know they was right . It can`t be done growing outdoor uk & it`s a total waste of time . This guy must be right , after all he told me he knows all about cannabis .
That`s why i never try to grow outdoor , every plant i have ever shown is purely fictional & should never be confused with reality .
Glad ? oh yes .
Erd/purt should show a bit of colour & the HFH Scot`s girls look interesting , nice job .
It looks like i have the light green strain of Erd/Purt the less potent one. the Erd/Purt took a long time to show sex so they might not be the right ones for trying to find a good early strain for scotland .. but the auto EE/MMxGG looks like a real winner for a cross with a early showing male. probably wont see the benefit of the cross till the F2's or F3's .

Looking like your going to succeed in your mission rocket, you are alert enough also to seize on the hermy/he she.... get her to fuck! lol
just keep doing what your doing and you will be fine, stretching a bit...... you could easily put a cane in there and some gardening wire to tie the stem though no bother, and all is perfect again. they are stretching. What light are they under?
