Can a plant produce buds indefinitely if it is kept in the 12/12 light schedule (flowering mode) or will it grow to a certain size and stop growing?

actually i dont know. i would have thought that it will stop as it would run out of shoots to bud from after you have harvested them so you would need to put it back into veg to get new shoots then flower again
i dunno tho
maybe some one should try it

it will eventualy die... thats how it spreads it seeds the plant dies and the bud drops seeds on the ground... you could reveg a plant by harvestingall the bud and putting it back into veg like oliwog said... bet yes it will eventualy die... although you can keep them in veg for a longperiod of time.. peace

No, marijuana is a annual plant. It has one life. It blooms and dies and the seeds continue the legacy :(..

hey orangeman you can harvest one plant more than once you jus need to put it back to 18/6 after the first harvest wait a bit for more nodes to appear then you can flower again
in reality the plant should die after harvest but this is only really the case outdoors when winter comes due to the light staying too short for the plant to continue growing
its a bit long tho its better to take cuttings or start again from seed

Having revegged a few plants before, I really think it should only be used if you want to clone the plant but wanted to see the end product first. After harvesting your individual buds (remember this wont dry and cure as well as cutting down the entire plant), give it about 2 weeks of 18/6 and youll see new leaf development. I have rebudded them before, but the result is NOT worth it. It would be much better to just start over and deal with the extra time. First time around, harvested 35 grams. Second time around, harvested about 12 grams, and that was after a good month of veg/recovery. Considering the plant was only vegged for one month to begin with and got 3x as much yield...thats all I needed too see.

The cannabis is very similar to a tomato plant. I have about 50 tomato plants going outside. Doesn't really pay to harvest twice.
Damn, why is it illegal to grow a fucking weed? I would use my garden for weed instead and buy some tomatoes from local growers since the ones at the supermarket SUCK.....

orange and RX are both right it is an annual plant in its natural environment
but if grown indoors the plant can live on after the flowering cycle. After
the fist full flowering stage inside the plant will produce lower qaulity buds
as RX said. I have also tried that its not worth doing but the plant will live
on in a controled environment.
