Yikes..looks like I made a new friend...
I guess having a different opinion is now spreading BS..although my "opinion" is based on fact and umm..although I am not a "commercial" grower trying to teach the "trade" to the masses I am someone with alot of knowledge and experience...
You can leach medium all you like..the fact is a re-vegged plant will require plenty of space to hope to be as productive as a clone with brand new medium..and unless you are constantly up-sizing your container or grodan cubes you will not get new growth!
I don't make the rules...the plants grow new roots as they grow new branches!
And as far as time goes I still don't get your turnaround cycles..if you can do it without flaming me maybe you could show us proof..you said 300%???
Also..I dunno the author of the online book either...but we got the link the first time..thanks...
Now..you talk about a big bush being more productive..I guess that's why commercial growers grow small plants and tend to grow from clone as a rule? I know ALL the med farmers I know who are professional growers (have 2 or more tables) grow clones..most in fact in 4 inch rockwool cubes)..
I start with a 2 week veg peiod in my flower chamber..if I chose to I could start those plants in a seperate room which would mean 6 crops in a 12 month period..even if you could force a multigenerational plant to jump from flower back into full vegetative growth in 7 days (which I don't believe you can) then you would still lose a week per crop..
And I'm not even going to address your claim that hermaphrodism (or whatever you called it) is somehow mythical..it's a response to environmental stress and the result of poor breeding..
Ask any botanist/horticulturalist..they will be happy to tell you all about it..but I am going to put this to bed as far as my part in this thread goes..
Here's a few pics of what I (just a lowly non-horticultural/commercial grower can make a clone do)
This is 1-600 watt lamp...
20 clones...
Yield yet to be seen (it's drying now) but should be roughly 35-40 ounces dry... :dance:
Johnny Hempseed Reviewed by Johnny Hempseed on . Return a harvested plant to veg? Comments? Hey all, I've been growing from seed (bagseed from someone whose friend grows Sweet Tooth and Strawberry Cough... could I be so lucky?) and am almost finished up with my first grow. There are a couple beautiful standouts in the crop that I would love to revert to veg and turn into mothers; however, I've read that by allowing a plant to complete its flowering cycle and then putting it back in veg can reduce its genetic integrity and potency. Is this something any of you have done, and with Rating: 5
