budding question ...

[bandit2912]

right people i need a question asking becouse i am heading towards my 1st harvest but my plant is small and i dont wanna harvest it this time around so i am wondering.

 

if i dont bud this time round and leave the buds on will i be able to bud them when they get bigger or is it a one time only ?

 

or can i bud it this time round and bud it next time round if i just cut the bud branches off ???

 

pleaseeee help people and thanx

bud em, cut off whatever they ome up with but leave a few leaves on em, re-veg, grow again.

Yes you can do what Baron said but make sure you leave enough groth on the plants then put back into the required light and dark period they need to vege which is usually 14 hours or more a day recomended 18 hours.

 

Cannabis is an annual and in a natural enviroment will die after flowering. growing in an artificial enviroment there is alot more control over your plants but to get a good result will cost alot more to produce. In this kind of enviroment you can test to see if your plant is worth growing (ie male or female) by shorteneing the light period to 12 hours a day, once you know chuck the males and if you want, keep them growing by returning your lights to 18/6 (18 hours of light/6 hours of dark).

You can grow what we call a mother plant for an average of 3 years under these conditions but it will grow large if you arent taking cuttings from it regularly.

 

Its not recomended that you bud your plants chop the branches off then put back into vege. Your bud wont be the highest quality that plant can produce and will probably be a pretty crap standard of bud. If this doesnt bother you then by all means go for it.

Ive never done this before so i cant tell you from experience but my guess is that each time you do this the bud will become less and less potent each harvest you take off.

 

Hope this has helped a bit.

I've read that regulars who do this suggest an _increase_ in potency through 3 reveg cycles, not sure about yield. Seems (from what I read) that subsequent cycles drop in either yield or potency.

 

I'm not _absolutely_ sure whether such people allow full maturation, but I'm relatively sure it's at least 'near fully mature'. As such, there is little to no expectation of reduced potency.

It would be interesting to find out but i wouldnt be confident in doing this.

My logic says that it would decrease in yield and potency but ive been wrong before and have no prior experience in doing it.

you will gain poetency but you will most deffinetly looze yeild and size ,by the time you stuff around for the vegitive stage your better off finding yourself a new clone (or seedling) and start again ,quicker faster and more productive, but by all means stick it out with this one if you have the patience and the time
