Attention all Plant Lovers

well I am finishing up my first grow today. I have named my lady Fire Lady. I rescued her seed from a blazing bowl and have grown her with love ever since. I have had a wonderful 4 months growing her out until this little, but exciting harvest.

I was expecting happiness at harvest, but no instead I cried. I cried because I realize how much I will miss Fire Lady. I love Fire Lady. So I cried. I cried like I was about to kill my daughter, because I do have to kill my daughter.

That is why I need all your help before I make the decision. Will a revegitation work? A friend of mine is suggesting preventing the lights from coming back on before harvest. but if I do this can I reveg. Also do I cut any stem off? I am not sure how I would get the top buds off without cutting.

thanks.

Anyone else experience sadness during harvest time?

we all do :(
just say a little prayer and thank her for her gift and all will be done, and yea shell reveg most likely. Do it inside under 24/0 and you can make her a mother so shell never die

will the reveg work if I prevent the next light cycle from occurring?

do it before that cycle . take a cutting ????

Why not "light stress" her and produce "femmed" seeds?

cut everything but the bottom buds, then let the light cycle be a vegetive one, after a couple days shoots will pop out of the buds

{wipes tear from eye} :(
Sugar, what a touching story. A true testament to a man's love for his plant. I'm moved, hold on I have to go hug mine right now and tell her how much she means to me,
OK now I'm back, Now thank her for giving her life and WHACK her bloody head off :eek: :eek: :p

you can also cut of a few branches, and clone them, so instead of 1 fire lady you have 3 or 4 or more fire ladys =)

ok do what llamaman says you dont have to kill her just cut the buds out, and put it in a 24/0 for a few days then 18/6, and she'll get better, try to leave a few leafs, so it will still make photosyntesis

and next time dont plant only 1, (i get too emotional if i only planted 1) then i plant a few so i dont get sad...

hi sugar, every time my girls get the chop ,i can here them cry,.... daddy daddy what are you doing daddy, i make it a swift kill, no point to torture them, with a sudden click my pruning scissors sever there slender legs one by one,without any ceromony i hang there bodys on coat hangers and place them in a dark room, death is normaly noticable within a few days, the pungent smell of there death is over powering, i look in another room and there mother weeps for her daughters, she has fattend so i slice some of her pretty fingers off one by one, within a few moments i have decapitated over half of her, she is shocked but i refuse to let her die, so i feed her and let her recover for a few weeks, before i kill again ............... and so the story goes .......
