i was stoned and reading some of these threads and was thinking to my self, "could you harvest as small as a join?" anyone know. like one leaf and start flowering. dumb question but though id as the pro's for the answer.

LOL...if you look around and see some pics, you will see yes, that some plants will yeild an entire joint.

Not a hair more :)

Of course I dont think those are by design :)

I know I am attempting at age rather than height....21 days is a pretty quick veg :)

isnt a dumb question dude,.. i took a cuttin from a plant just started its flowering,,, flower was like 1 - 2 weeks old.. soon as it rooted i started budding it and ended up with a tennis ball size bud =) well i thought it was fascinating.. my own little lowrider.. ?

oh and i got about a quarter and an 8th =)

Why would you take a flower, root it, and flower?

Thats kinda like taking a joint, unrolling it, and rolling it again and smoking it :)

" ended up with a tennis ball size bud =) "

sounds like a very neat concept... you'd wanna get your cloning basics down before you go chopping off 2 week old flowers.

Basically you can "flower" the plant at any time..."flowering" to most is the 12/12 light cycle.. a "veg" light cycle would be 18/6. some people have the plants on 12/12 from day one.. and let the plants automatically flower without a change in light cycle until the very late weeks of flowering. All you're doing by switching from an 18/6 to a 12/12 light cycle is simulating the change in the season.. the days get shorter, telling the plant it's time to flower..and bud.. to produce seed, regardless of size.

why? thats a dumb question... because i wanted to is why. i wanted to know wat wud happen is that ok yeah? least im keepin it in tune with the guys quite pointless topic of budding 1 joint per plant.. (no disrespect to him) i didnt see u ask him WHY..?

and the next guy on about light cycles.. yes it was a neat concept.. it made me laugh, if even to get a laugh it was worth it..

i know wat i was doing, i was revegging a plant i started budding n had to re- veg it due to unforseen circumstance.. i also had no plants left cause of troubles and wanted cuttins.. so i thout I WONDER IF A LITTLE FLOWER WUD ROOT N CLONE? and it did! i then thout i wonder wat will happen if i keep it flowering? and it flowered to nearly half oz! F..KIN INTERESTIN TO ME.

why why why..

because people wonder????????????.. thats why. i like to play and experiment.

who disses lowriders? they are handy yeah, bonsai skunk plants? fast grow? fit mor in small space if thats all u got? well wats the big deal about wat i did.

I think it's a great idea and I was thinking of doing exactly the same thing. I've got some secondary growth shoots low on the plants that are no doubt going to be starved for light and was thinking of what I could do other than put lights down on the bottom. The pic of the one BobBong posted suggests it's a pretty good idea!!

Bob/Cyberbud how long did it take for the cutting to take off again? And exactly what did you do to succeed this well? If you have it posted someplace else let me know I'll go have a look. May do this today!

sorry ive not been here to answer Marc,, it was so long ago i cant remember much,, took as long as any normal clone to root.. just cant remember if i left it on 12 12 or put it back on 18 - 6.... point is dont listen to all the pros tooooooo much.. if they are pro theyd tell u to play around not jus slam somethin as pointless.

I cut a flowering secondary shoot 2 weeks ago tomorrow. Was 23 days into flower. Has survived and must've rooted as..it's still alive! Am going to give it a light of it's own tomorrow for it's surprise 2 week birthday. ha Course, I could've just put a light right on the flower as it was attached to 'Momma' but now that wouldn't be very creative now would it. And not near as fun. But I did it more just to see if you could because everyone was saying you couldn't.

She would stretch, stretch and stretch until mature enuff to flower, or, show alternating nodes....

Then she would develop one main kola and grow straight up like a pole with bud....but becasue the internodal length would be so large, it would never deveop into a good sized bud. It would be small and frail......buds....

If you wait, the internodal length will remain short and she can grow into a single good kola....I got one i did that too....
