Nope, “autoflower” is a genetic trait wherein a plant starts flowering once it reaches maturity – it doesn’t start flowering based on a light cycle. There’s a debate thread about the pros and cons over here, and I think we have a few grows tagged with autoflowering where you can see how they grow.
When I found out you can’t clone them, I immediately hated them 
Nothing worse than not being able to grow an amazing plant again.
