I was also led to believe that autoflowering plants were not supposed to be cloned due to the fact that you dont control when they flower. and if that is true I cant imagine a ruderalis clone being any bigger than a foot tall.
Wrong forum for all of this, but who said anything about cloning a rudy?
Guerilla's Gusto's no auto flower, and even the website bills it as a late September finish. Macho sounding defences against the elements, though. Rambo's even later a finish, but Mountain Mist looks solid. As does Iranian Short Season.
Iranian Short Season is considered auto flowering however it's not a ruderalis, and mothers and clones kept under 24 hours of light from the day they're popped will not auto flower. There's a whole grip of forums with successful examples of this on The Farm here. So far, that's the only strain that will flower outside whenever no matter what and clone. Even crosses of it flower sooner, not auto. Great yielding four foot phenos as well. Only available fem, though. Smart move by Dr. Greenthumb, there.
Great advice on the land race recommendation, but I'm wanting to build on a more resinous base. Breeding seed takes a long time and I want to eliminate that concern, as well as a dozen others that growers have also worked and documented. The springboard is there, why not use it?
