Ok everyone, I've begun to plan. I'm going to reveg my plants after harvest so I'll never need to start more clones as long as the sex of the plants remain female. Also, the plant should get bigger each time I harvest and produce more yeild. I'll have to use dirt because hydro wont support the weight of a big plant and I don't want to have to re-tie the plants every day to support the weight.

I can buy rooted clones to get this party started, but I'm limited to the strains that I have access to. The first dispensory I contacted has 2 strains available currently, Skunk & Sour Diesel.

Skunk seems to be a pretty generic term. I'm not sure it's even a real strain. But are either of these strains suited for the type of growing that I'm going to be doing.

I liked the NY Diesel that I used to get on the east coast, how close to that strain is Sour Diesel?

The dispensory told me that they have different clone strains available at different times, so if there's a strain that I should be seeking for this type of growing please let me know.

P.S. I'm going to start building the room tommorow (hopefully). I can go around and collect the information that I'll need, but it would help a lot if I could find a diagram of what a grow room with individually potted plants should look like. Anyone know of any diagrams like that out there (I'm really good with diagrams)

both skunk and Sour D are great strains. I'd get some of each.

Your question: Can You Trim Bud And Leave The Plant Alive To ReGrow Bud?

Well, you *can*... but I wouldn't recommend it.

You can trim the bud off a plant and try to "re-veg" it and regrow the same plant. It's technicially possible. The process stresses the plant immensely (making it possible for your female to grow male organs and pollinate all over your plants, seeding your bud and making it worthless for your situation) as well as providing a diminishing return. In other words, a plant that once yielded three ounces might only yield half that if you reveg that plant. And you would still have to re-veg the plant before putting it back into eight more weeks of bloom, so why take a diminishing return instead of just spending the extra couple weeks in veg and getting a plant that will give a full yield?

For "Maximum Yield", there are a ton of factors... type of grow (soil or hyrdo, personally I'm a soil guy), the strain that you grow, the equipment that you use (lights, nutriants). Strain selection is really important - take some time and do some research before just grabbing seed and getting started. Plus differant strains treat differant problems in a medicinal state.

yo dannygreeneyes. did you used to live in g-wood? i think we know each other. anyway, in colorado you can posses 3 plants in veg and 3 plants in flower.

you really can't find any good clones where you are..?
colorado has sooooo many good strains going around.
i can point you to a dispensary that sells TGA seeds too..
they are sexing their TGA plants and should have clones in a month.
pm me if you want to talk..

btw,,
co law is 3 plants in veg 3 plants in flower.
any more than 3 plants in flower and you're outside the law.

Yeah, I was doing some thinking, and I was thinking maybe 3 strains, 2 of each. This way if one goes male I can destroy it and start over with a clone from the other.

But if I'm only allowed 3 flowering at a time then I'll probably do 2 strains, 3 of each and make a seperate room for each strain so I can flower them seperately.

Is Skunk an acutal strain? I always thought it was a generic term for good stinky bud.

There has to be a way. A few messages ago I posted a link to a pic of a big outdoor plant around 6 foot. Since it's an outdoor plant it has to flower at least twice a year, and at that size it's at least a year old. So if that plant can survive & thrive after 2 or more flowering periods then there has to be a way to do it indoors.

The only fear that I had.... The pics that I used to see in Hi Times of the guys with guns in the middle of fields full of plants over 6 ft. in S America were pictures of where the "doo doo brown" comes from, if you follow my meaning.

I'll experiment with the first few flowering periods and try to get this to work and I'll let everyone know how it's going & if there are any secrets that I figure out.

Oh, I'll be checking the plants daily so as long as I can tell right away when a plant turns male, then it shouldn't become much of a problem as long as it only happens occasionally.

G-Wood? I used to live near a G-Wood. Which G-Wood are you talking about though?

Well, I haven't found any of the super strains yet. Either that or they're just not being grown properly. I saw some NY Diesel last time I went, but it smelled like hay so it wasn't cured properly. So I can't tell you if it was actually NY Diesel or not. I can tell you that the Maui Wowie wasn't real, still wasn't too bad though.

Not sure what TGA is but I can't wait a month. In the video I saw with the guy with the green face, when he said a Qtr Lb in 2 months, I thought he meant total time for both veg & flowering stages. If I have to veg them for a month then flower them for 2 more months, I'm already looking at Dec or Jan before my first harvest. And since I'm growing in dirt it may take even longer.
