Awesome discoveries by the community recently. This one and then the silver earring fem method (just put one on a branch).

Wonder if the pro auto breeders are already using this.
Would love to hear more about this silver earring method đź‘€ Got a link to a thread by any chance?

Do you have any new information? Did you just kill the mother. How did the clones do?
I scrapped the whole thing because of weather and giving priority to the NH I’m growing.
I found that Tryptophan does keep an auto from flowering and I did root one cutting but it was all really slow because it’s a fine line between preventing flower and stalling growth completely. Exact dose is critical and will be different from plant to plant I imagine.
The bad weather kind of torpedoed my underlying objective which was to make free plants that will flower in rainy northern latitudes. Yes you can clone autos and make free plants that will be auto but UK weather is still no use for growing weed. I hope someone else in consistently warmer and drier (than UK) northern latitude will find Tryptophan useful.

I really appreciate the update. I'm going to keep this in my back pocket. Again, thank you for this post, and the reply.

or maybe indoors, who knows.
Then you have to run your lights 24. No benefit.
The best genetics are still photoperiod anyway.
The only use autos have is outdoors at northern latitudes, that it. Tryptophan and clones of them makes keeping a mum indoor possible but like I say, you still need sun and dry warmth.

so we need less fat nugs, more open area with trichome density, to reduce rot, and speed, cuz of weather. The flower structure of a fenotrigo sativa stacked with trichs, but a 55d flower or auto flowering...shit, there's tough to do and then there's really fkn hard to do

No pics, and that's fine by me, ur description of events is fine...can i ask how far you feel you've gotten in your efforts and how adamant are you on the autoflower vs photoperoid mother plant

i was thinking in the name of science. hence the controlled environment.
