questions for the veteran growers

[darklyscanner]

would it be possible to grow one plant at a time, over the course of your entire life, that supplies you with your constant personal stash?

i've heard you can get 10 ounces out of one plant, and i think that could last one person quite awhile.

i'm just thinking for later on, if a person found the "ideal" strain for him or her, could that person just grow one plant at a time of the same strain, and be set over a lifetime, able to still get as high as desired without tolerance setting in?

Some deep questions right there, meditate and think about it somemore

...one at a time is cool.....but most growers prefer 6 or more at a time.

what is your need level....ounce a day?...week?...month?...year?

me?...I just make one big grow....and ride that puppy as far as it will go...comprende?....:pimp:.....

10 ounces per plant is a pretty damn high yield

i had a plant that gave me 8ozs once. Kevin Plant my old dealer from way back. The problem was that this plant had some mid quality shite.:stoned:

Apart from the quantity issues and risk of getting a male if you only germ one beanling. You would build up a tolerance quite quickly if you only smoke the same strain. Personally I feel a tolerance after smoking an ounce for a few days.Grow a couple of strains & if you end up with extra you can always store it or pass it on to friends.

I have read articles regarding some professional growers keeping a 'Mother' plant alive for several years - it sounded like an 'intensive care' situation after the first couple of years - constant partial harvesting could also stress it to turn male, and, you would eventually get tolerant of virtually any strain - it's an interesting idea, though - the few OLD plants I have seen growers keep, were virtually 'pets', plants that were kept out of curiosity, just to see how old they can get - it seems to take a 'pro' to keep them healthy beyond the first couple years, maybe more work, than fun :jointsmile:

I'm not saying its impossible, but it would take some experience and pretty good genetics to achieve this. I've been doing this for going on 10 years now and I'm still struggling sometimes to get my gram per watt goal. But a heavy yielding strain and some really good loving care and its totally achieveable

yes you can get more than 10 ozs. from one plant! outdoors you can get 5lbs

It's been my experience that for inside grows, that have a faster 'turn-around': two ounces per two gal pot is a good yield, depending on the strain. Big Bud and a few other high yield plants will manage 2 oz easily.

Outside is another matter all together. I have mexiseed sativa's that routinely yield 2+ lbs per plant. This is after I have 'sexed' them indoors, transplant outside at about 5 weeks, and allow them to revert to vegging.

The problem will be consuming a bunch of time waiting for that one 'girl' to show herself. I say, plant four to six, and if you only want one, just cull the rest. One other issue you might want to consider; some bag seeds can produce a very high rate of hermies. Check closely for them...B
