Theorically Double THC-content

What would happen if you were to wait for a plant to be on the last 1-2 weeks of its flowering period and then return the lights to 24/0 to induce vegitating again, wait out the like 2-3 months that it would take to begin vegitating again, and then re-do the flowering period. Wouldn't the buds have some incredable THC amount as they had already had THC to begin with?

my friend is a shaman and he did do that but you better not have a day job as it took some serious babying and knowledge of plants the bud was wicked.....but as you know when you are at that last stretch of flowering the plant is giving everything it has so like i said you have to pay close attention to what she is doing

I dunno about that one....

I call bullshit.
now YOU have to pick up all the card in the pile!

ive re-veged plants and no it dosent make them stronger.
a plant is supposed to die after it flowers.......why would it have more thc? if anything the old thc would convert to cbn......
it can actually make them have a weaker thc content the second go around.
look it up if you dont believe me.

From what I understood about flowering is that once you cross a particular line in the flowering stage that no matter what you do as far as light, the plant will continue to flower and die.

I don't think this method will work but if you have time and product to kill. Try it.

But cant u pick off the buds and repick again

its called double budding, from what i understand you dont wait that long
but you take it out of flowering after a few weeks in there and you end up with premature buds but then you re veg it and then re flower it and supposedly you end up with a bigger harvest
heres the thread about it

This thread is about doubling thc content not bud weight thc breaks down rapidly in light to cbd and cbn so doubleing it by double budding is not an option

this info isnt exactly right but near it.
to reveg remove all flowers possible while leaving as many leaves and stalk as possible and put back into veg until is healthy enough back in the veg stage to flower again.

so basically juss cut the buds and flowers off from where they started from right ???

Well, I've never wasted time with it, but the re-vegged plant will put out new branches from each budsite, and those will produce new flowers. I think the bud from the first crop would die off.

I say wasted time, because before you can revert that plant, you could have a new plant already flowering there.

HTH

The issue your gonna have is that to veg you need high nitrogen to make green luish grow.To flower you cut all nitrogen and go high phos and potassium.Your telling the plants to switch up hormone production and to change its life stage.Now it goes into flower but then you tell it nevermind go back to veg.You have to completly flush the plant now and then re up the nitrogen but the plant will be at a stall til it decides if its to flower or grow.This is a high stress to the plant causing stunting slow growth and the produced early buds will have thier thc levels drop.You can reveg a plant after harvest not sure why youd bother unless you needed it to be a mommy or you can stage harvest the same plant taking buds as they finish allowing smaller hidden buds to ripen longer and get more size.

I have noticed, when vegging clones cut from a flowering plant, that the flower grows on and opens out and then veg growth begins. THC /resin seems to be produced all through this period, and brachts etc get VERY sticky. Never tried it as a method of increasing harvest/potency, but I doubt that a week or so of 24/24 would do much harm. Pesonally, I can't wait to harvest the instant I think they are ready.

when i grew bigbud and white widow i started flowering and it was ok but 3wks down the line i had noticed that sumfin was wrong.. it wasnt till i checked my timers that i found they had went bak to 24/7 instead of 12n12. they could have been like that for almost 2 wks and my plants suffered because of this. when i noticed it my guts churned coz i thought it was all over but i turned the timers bak 2 12 n 12 and waited to see wot happened. nothing at first then after a wk or 2 i noticed a little more crystal forming on the bud that was alreadt there and i thought evthing was gona be ok.
a wk later things went tits up lol and have since chopped the plant down coz its budz were not growing and i found wot i thought were seeds forming in the main cola.. maybe it wasnt seeds but i wasnt prepared to take that chance so i cut my losses and chopped it. the smoke was not good and i now believe that any light mess up will have dire consequencies.
maybe u can successfully turn from 24 to 12n12 then bak to 24/7 but i wouldnt risk it coz its alot of money and effort to waste if it doesnt work..

i know an old grower who has been growing on a large scale in dirt for over thirty years. His method gets insane results. Ive seen pics of his first and second cuts, and he yeilds more on his second cut than the first. The important thing is to find a plant that has tons of bud sites. His method is as follows: One to two weeks before the plant is fully mature, he will top all the buds, including the small ones on the undercanopy. He leaves a dime to quarter size bud on all bud sites. Then he continues to flower them for 4 more weeks. Remember, he takes almost all of the bud off the plant. This tells the plant oh shit im being eaten by deer or some shit. so it busts out tons of bud, and they are much more resinous the second time around. he sells his first cut, and smokes his second. He gets 2oz off the first 8 weeks (he keeps his plants short and bushes them out so each has about 16 tops) and he gets 3 oz on his second cut in only 4 more weeks! this means almost half a pound on a plant thats no larger than two feet tall in 10-12 weeks. ive seen it work, no vegging stage necessary.

forgot to say he clips all the fan leaves when he does his second cut, and no he does not flush for his first cut, which is why its his selling crop.

i just recently read something on this:

Interrupted flowering

Also known as ``buddus interruptus'', the procedure is to switch the lights to 24/0 for a day or two about at the end of the fifth week of flowering, when the buds seem to stall out. It should only be done once during the crop, and for no more than two days. The best technique is to switch for one day, wait a couple of days to observe the effect, and then give it one more day if the buds haven't responded. This is not the same as ``double budding'', as the plant is never actually kicked into vegetative growth.

If the plants react well, you will see tufts of additional flowering parts standing out from the sides of the buds like little towers. Done early enough, these extra parts should finish in time, and they will add extra weight to the crop. This technique can be particularly valuable in scrog, given the large number of smaller buds.

A caveat is in order, not all plants respond well. Some don't react to the light change at all, and a very few may be disturbed into uncontrolled growth from the tops of the buds. You might be concerned with a tendency for male parts to be produced, but I've been practising this method for a long time, and I've never seen a ``hermie''.

This will not add extra THC, it will only add extra weight to the plant. if you want 'extra' THC you will need a plant that has a proven genetic record of high crystal content. then, you must add a good UVB lamp to your setup- that will ensure your crystals mature from precursers to THC molecues.
