Super weed trees?

[Bluberrybudboy]

Hey guys. I stay in South Africa and i've heard some stories about weed bushes that grow into trees and give off buds for years. I dunno if its true or not, so i'm curious, has anyone else ever heard of these things, and if so, what kinda weed is it?

[killerweed420]

Absolutely. Cannabis is a perrinial whick means it normally doesn't die during the winter as long as the roots don't freeze. Nowadays though a lot of the strains don't grow that big but a lot of strains can. I met a guy that showed me some pictures of his outdoor grow in southern Cali. That produced 240 lbs off of 3 large plants. He was developing a fertilizer to increase yeild.

So do you think if i tried to keep my weed roots safe throughout winter that perhaps some of them might actually grow back? Or perhaps could you fool it into thinking it was permanently summer?

[klondike_bar]

permenant sumer? you mean: GROW INDOORS UNDER ARTIFICIAL LIGHT?

yes, im pretty sure thats what this site is about....

[Bluberrybudboy]

Yea, i've got a setup like that already. How often do you think it'd give off buds?

[dylan]

Absolutely. Cannabis is a perrinial

No, cannabis is an annual plant. The plant dies in the fall and drops seeds, which grow into new plants in the spring.

if that were true how come people are able to to take a plant frome veg to flower back to veg again indoors?
im not doubting your knowledge but i did that recently to a clipping...

thanks for the FREAKING AWESOME SITE PEOple!

Cannabis is a perrinial. The roots will regrow in the summer if not frozen during winter. This is how to keep a good mother plant outdoors. Usually all you have to do is mulch heavey on the soil over the roots.

Hmm i just recently read something about molasses on this site and it said that cannabis is a annual. Maybe the guy made a mistake.

[guerillagrowerz]

cannabis is an annual plant that dies after it gives seeds. Try growing a plant and pollinating it then see how long it lives.

Perrenal(sp) plants go into a dormant state during winter. An example of this is what trees do. Now I live in the south, so the winters are mild to say the least. I have also grown outdoors, and harvested the main buds from a plant, yet left the plant still mostly in tact (roots, stalk, some small buds and leaves). The plant never grew back in the spring. By that time the stalk had died and rotted. If it were a perrenal plant it would have grown back like a tree after loseing it's leaves.

[bicflikr]

i left my stumps with a few branches and they are growing back....WATCHA GOTTA SAYTA THAT? haha. maybe im lucky

[klondike_bar]

i think that they can grow back. however, the more ya cut off in harvest, and the smaller the plantcome winter, the more likely itll die.

anyone ever tried growing thier plant for more than a year in veg? id love to see the size of the sucker...

If you want to see some awesome mothers watch Jorge Cervantes' Ultimate grow DVD. They have some mothers that are literally trees. And cannabis is annual and should die off after producing seeds, but because it is a plant, it is subject to the irregularities of mother nature. So yes, you got lucky. Unless someone created a perennial hybrid, which, if they did they deserve major accolades.

I had the same hydroponic mother plant for alittle over a year. It was only a foot tall and it looked like a bonsai plant. Like 60 growing tips and a 2" diameter stem... I never got to flower her though...

[klondike_bar]

aww....shun!

similar happened to me. i had a beutyy growing at 40" in my window and then i overwatered before the first week of flowering could even finish :(

[bicflikr]

i saw a 7 year old mothewr on here once, was pretty bushy lil girl

Cannabis is annual. look it up before you post. Someone need the wiki link??

wiki?
that must mean its true then.
because everything on wiki is true

[Zcomp]

I wasn't saying that. I was saying that such a simple fact should be commonplace. if wiki is not good enough how about this:
Fact sheet for Cannabis sativa (http://www.flora.sa.gov.au/cgi-bin/texhtml.cgi?form=speciesfacts&family=Cannabaceae)
or this:
www.lycos.com/info/cannabis--cannabis-flower.html

[klondike_bar]

well actually, wikipedia is pretty close to as true as youll find for mass amounts of info and links on the most specific of things.

its just the retards that add shit that they think is true, or for sake of being dicks

Cannabis is an annual.

The only reason you can keep a mother for a very long time is that you don't allow the mother to complete her life cycle, which involved producing seeds, and then dying off.
Keeping a mother for many years indoors is very different from keeping a plant alive for many years of freeze/that cycles. Indoors, you are tricking her into behaving as if she was living in a single long summer growing season that you have extended to many years.

Killerweed, have you personally ever chopped a cannabis plant to ground and had it grow back?

so if i grow sensi it will grow back due to no seeds?

[stinkyattic]

bicflikr, you will still have to be certain to follow re-veggin protocols.
Don't allow Nitrogen deficiency to take hold later in flower. This means continue to use some fish emulsion along with your grow fert, and don't flush for the week leading up to harvest.
HArvest only the buds, leaving as much green leaf on the plant as possible. Even leave small popcorn buds on.
Give a dose of SuperThrive or ThriveAlive, and put under 24/0 of blue flourescent light.
Do not over water during this period.
Re-vegging should take about 1-2 months.

This does not make it a perennial, though; you've ARTIFICIALLY returned her to a vegetative state.

Amen....can we put this one to rest now?:beatdeadhorse:

Just kidding.....but seriously, I felt that I was going to get flamed if I kept this argument up.

The plant dies in the fall and drops seeds, which grow into new plants in the spring.

Some of the seed germinates in the Autumn that it drops, especially if you get rains before the frosts hit. Most seedlings die in the first cold snap, but those that survive the winter really boom once the weather warms.

From what my father told me about hemp growing in Queensland during the last century, hemp can be grown for multiple seasons. He grew up on a farm which inter cropped hemp with sugar cane, until demand for sugar outstripped hemp and the product was eventually prohibited.

Granted, you can't really draw any parallels between growing for fibre production and growing for resin production, but maybe that's where these sorts of ideas originate?

cannabis is an annual plant, but is possilble to re-veg under artificial lights. and in some tropical climates is possible to re-veg outdoors. i once left two female plant full of buds mature and the plants re-veg leaves and branches from inside the buds and i let them grow the end result is very mature buds mixed with fresh buds but during this process they lost some potency. i think i have one pic of that. here you can see, is the first 2 plants.
they re-veg outdoor.

why would he pollinate it?
