can you keep a plant for multiple seasons?

[ZMantheStonerMan]

My brother started growing a plant a little late this year so it's going to be a super small yield. My question is after he clips all the buds off can he just keep watering the plant to make it grown even bigger when it comes time for budding next year?

outdoors? no

cannabis is an annual.


indoors, yes. You can trick the plant into staying alive.

indoors u can keep it in the right light cycle (24/0 or 18/6) but outdoors no

unless u live near the equater

Greetings my friend
To throw a wrinkle to this conversation, if your growing season is long enough you can harvest ( leaving some small lower branches ) let'em heal up.
Then ( I use "Grow Big" by F.F. ) start your Veg feedings and soon you have fresh leaf production. The pictures are of one of my girls ( right hand photo, she's the bashful one on the left) that I started flowering inside, moved outside 6/1, harvested 7/15 and the other shot is of her recently, she looks like she'll put out another full crop. This won't work with every plant but, what do you have to lose trying it?
Peace

MJ--Looks preety good and like a dessert after the harvest!

Z Man: I don't know where you live. In 1978 I grew my annual tomato plant for 2 years and got produce. Go figure. Even my Marigolds lasted for years. Wasn't too hot, wasn't too cold! Oh, now that I have the resources to gro mmj, what a fool I was for not putting bud in those years!

There can always be an exception! Depending on where you live and the weather. This year is too cold in Calif. for it! Plus, my plants that went for a couple of years weren't cannabis, but none the less, shouldn't have grown. They were close to the house and got lots of South sloping sun-I figure the heat off the house kept them alive, wasn't me. The house was light and I figure it reflected heat to them and some seeped thru the walls? Who knows! But, what have you to lose to leave them out. :wtf:

You can put blankets and sheets over them to keep from extreme cold. I bet people in the depression from Wisconsin can tell you more about it! Experiment! Unless, you are over your limit in medicine! Besides, I think they are pretty plants and I just love um! Good luck! P/R :rastasmoke:

yes stonerman check out Rustytrichomes Bonsai Downsizing/reveg. It's probably the best thread on revegging a plant. You have to change nutes and amount of light, cut rootball down, leave a certain amount of leaves... all of which he explains great in the thread.

Excellent resourceful thread!! rep 2 U!

I just read in a book that due to cloning, proper preparation of plant use's that it just isn't necessary. Not to mention, it is felt that there is less THC content in subsequent year-less potency.

Again, always an exception! I've seen things grow for years that shouldn't have and come up year after year that wasn't a re-seeding plant, either! Nature and love is a good mixture! pr :hippy:
