3 Interesting questions...

Hello!

I have a few questions and will be glad if someone that now's a thing or two about
cannabis cultivation can help me:

1. What happens to Cannabis plants grown wild outdoors - lets just say in
India for example - between the 10th to 3th (march) - do they die?

do they just continue to go back to re-veg or what?

i would like to understand how it works...

2. I live in the middle-east, some of my friend just harvested some nice outdoor grow
in the last few weeks and they want to know what will happen if the will plant a seed
again right now and not wait till march/april - I think, since it starts to get dark around 17:00 pm and light around 5:00 am it isn't a good Idea because it will flower immediately -
am I right?

3. I read a little bit about the "bending test" for taking clones - but didn't really see a lot
of information about that on the web or in books so can someone please confirm what is said over here:

"The right location to take a cutting is a zone somewhere in the middle of the stem which is not too hard and not too soft. There is a zone on every
plant stem that goes from low carbohydrates and high Nitrogen to high carbohydrates and low Nitrogen; you want the middle of this zone. How do
you tell where this is? Most growers know this from experience, but new or less experienced growers might want to do the �bend test�. You bend a tip
still on the plant at a point where you want to take the cutting back on itself. There are three things that could happen: it bends (high Nitrogen and low carbohydrate), it snaps in half or nearly in half (low Nitrogen and high carbohydrates), or it partially breaks in one spot (just right). This spot is the cut zone. This is the section of the stem where roots will most readily form. Next we need to know where on the stem to cut."

Thank you very much for your time and help!!!

In nature the plants get pollinated and drop thousands of seeds on the ground over the winter. A few make it through the winter and germinate in the spring.

From my understanding, cannabis is a annual; like corn or beans or zinnias... whereas (I think) tomatoes and peppers are perennials
...although I'm not 100% certain how long you can re-veg a mother plant, but at least in temperate climates, I've watched my annuals die by late October regardless of frost ... not sure how this works in more 12 hr "day neutral" latitudes closer to the equator however

Tomatoes and peppers are NOT perennials.
actually yeah they are, waaay too many references to dispute that ....


heck in AZ I had a pepper plant over 2-3yrs old ... also if for your own satisfaction, there are a few links to this gigantic tomato tree grown in Florida I think...
anyway, we a cool ma'man as I know why you are thinking because I live where they die every year also, just incorrect this one time (this is a you are right but I am right thing, a more correct term might be "non-annual")

Tomatos are perennials, makes ya wonder about all the scientific studies people have that compare tomato plants n weed doesnt it
don't wanna deviate too far from the OP's topic but I was kinda shocked when living/visiting the sunbelt how many flowers/plants we grow up north as annuals actually aren't: tomatoes, peppers, impatiens, begonias, verbena, vinca (I think), et et..... up north you can tell the "true annuals" by late sep/oct from their growth: I'm watching my flowers turn real crappy looking regardless of the weather....

You guys are right. :oops:

They are perennials in their natural habitat of the tropics. Grown as an annual in temperate climates. Makes me wonder though why my buddies tomato plants in a small commercial greenhouse die after fruiting.

Interestingly I watch my own tomatoes just get crappy after a while no matter what you do...I know there are so called "determinate" types, but I have no idea why they just don't do well after a few months... since weed is a annual, I'd like to know the science behind "re-vegging" ...I think that's the thrust of the main topic here (or should be)

Perennials can be grown as annuals in colder climates and annuals can be grown as perennials in tropical climates. Marijuana has a life cycle and dies after budding. If he plants a seed now it will stay really small and not do much til spring

Revegging is done indoors, not outside, you cant flip the sun from 10-12 hrs of light to 14-16 hrs of light. Indoor growing manipulates the plant in ways that cant be duplicated naturally.
