A second harvest on the same plant????

Is it possible to harvest w/o killing your plant? (If so how?)Someone told me awhile ago that he had a plant that was yrs. old. He would harvest, re-veg, and harvest again off the same plant. Is it possible or was it bullshit? I have a couple plants almost ready for harvest and I would like to try. If that isn't possible could I root one of the stems? I would appericiate anyone's info. Thanks.

Hey SMoke... it is possible to re-veg... recently i saw a plant that was re-vegged 3 times... it was a huge and unruly plant..

you are better off CLONING...

cloning produces better or equally as good buds with a shorter turnover time


cheers

How long does the entire cloning process take?

Thank you Garden Knowm. I will try that. But I still want to try and re-veg one of my plants it's almost ready and only a little over a foot tall and could grow some more w/o being overgrown.

Take your plant and cut off almost all of the buds. Leave just a few.

Then, take it out of the dirt. Cut off half of the soil and roots that were in the container. Place it in a big container of fresh nutritious dirt.

And grow again-lights 24/7. at least that's what I am going to try to do in a few weeks.

This technique is called regeneration.. My only question is why would you cut off roots? I can understand why you'd want to rid the old dirt, but I don't understand how cutting the roots could ever benefit the plant unless to prevent from salt/nute lockup somehow. You might want to research this a little more before using that exact method.

just take the big buds..leaving the smaller ones on bottom alone...then stick back on 18/6 or veg.whatever hours you like..
no need to cut the roots or anything..thats krazytalk...
the buds you leave..will turn into funny looking leafs...and new growth should appear in a couple weeks..
veg till its nice and full..then flower again..that simple..
and even know you could do it..cloning at time of harvest..im not a expert,but i think it would be hard to get the clones to root at this stage..more experinced growers would have to give you insite on that one...

and if its one foot now.when your flowering expect it too get grow another foot or two...depending on strains..they get much taller when flowering..

I'm pretty sure you cut off the bottom roots, even an inch from the sides and some on the top as well. This allows for the roots to have new room to branch out and signal growth.

it seems like an awful idea to me ! big risk of hermies!

tried this be4 took ages to reveg and was very disapointed with harvest wouldnt waste ur time and if ur going to clone dont leave it any later than 2 weeks into flowering be4 u cut the clones just wont take once they have started flowering

Revegging will take a long time and you lose those popcorn buds (popcorn buds are buds too!). Better to grow from seed or clones taken before flowers show.

i just seen this and i am going to call you a liar!

i think fddblack should permaban you for stating such a thing that plants cant be cloned after they go to flower!!!

trust me, pm him if you dont beleive me, he will say its bulllsh!T!!!

When harvesting with the intent to regen/ reveg do you just use a blade and cut the bud off at the stem? I understand the rest... Just not completly understanding the harest procedurefor this method. Any/all good anwsers get a +rep for the trouble. THANKS!!!

Yes. try to leave as much stem on as u possibly can as fan leaves gotta start growing out of something.

cant you just cut the parts of the plant that you think are ready and leave the other buds to rippen better for a week or 2 n cut again?
i am thinking to use this "method"..just guessing it should work.what yo think?

no its not bullshit! when i harvest my buds, all i do is cut the top half of my plants! then the trunk grows into 2 stems,,,,n you get twice the buds! (next harvest, i cut 1 inch below my previous cut) whats this 18/6 vegitative i read? i leave mine 24 hours a day under a 400 watt high presure sodium for 1 month,,,,then 2 months in 12/12

im due for another harvest dec 26,,,thats how precise i am with my timing!

just 3 months ago i tried a new strain,,,just with my luck,,,12 males came out and only 3 females fuck the new shit lol i will stick with my regular plants!

i do keep 10 empty bottles of 2 liter coke bottles, where i put fertiliser in the water,,let it sit a few days, and i kid you not! i fertilise my plants to near death!

so dec 26 i trim all my plants,,,put them bk in veg state for 60 days,,,so every 3 months i harvest! enough to smoke up everyday,,and never run out! oh whay a cerebral buzzzzzzzzz

by the way,,,, i never switch pots! if roots come out? which they will after 6 months!cut everything out 3 inches from the side of the pots, and put new earth,,,,fertilise the fuker alot,,,will draw the new roots to it lol

good luck to all of ya!

come have a look at my photo album.... see my set up,,,its so simple! why do idiots always tell everyone to paint a grow room white? ya dont need to be a fucking genious to realise that aluminium parer reflects alot more lite lol

put garbage bags on the floor,,,throw them out when you harvest! keep your room clean! thats important!

remember all a weed plant needs is lite, water and fresh air!

lol did he really suggest aluminum?

aluminummmmmmmmmmmmmm.... lol wow im a stick wit my white walls and mylar ..fuckin a
