I am with you, cannabis is an annual. How come an annual dies at the end of a year. Plants know when to flower do to amount of darkness. During the dark period hormones are released inside of the plant. Once the hormones reach a certain level the plant flowers. I like to keep my mothers in 24 hours light to keep as many hormones as I can out of there biochemistry. The biochemicals are like amino acids in the human body. Most are bad and cause aging. I figure the less biochemicals the younger and healthier my genetics stay. Biochemicals can be used up as putting a flowering plant back into veg to regenerate into a mother returning the plant to a young self and starting the growth stage again.

One love
