thats a baby. Ill try to get a picture of an adult one here in the next few days
I may be relatively new here but i recall going over the original question proposed in this thread in a plant bio class i took. Here goes my understanding of the subject.
There is much speculation as to which hormone actually causes plants to flower. However the most common belief is that the hormone florigen is primarilly responsible as first described by Mikhail Chailakhyan in 1937. Long story short the experiment conducted involved grafting two plants together. Plant A was exposed to the correct photoperiod for flowering and Plant B was not. The result was both plants flowered therefore proving that the hormone to flower was transfered from one plant to another through the vascular tissue. My point is that if florigen could travel between grafted plants then it could travel from one part of a single plant to another part of the same plant so long as some of the leaves were exposed to the correct photoperiod for flowering. In light of this theoretically a series of plants (5 for example) grafted together should flower even after all the leaves were trimmed off except for those of one plant. If that plant was put under the correct amount of light to flower then the rest should also flower
Additionally other experiments were conducted between different species of plants in which the same experiment was used that i mentioned above. As in the original eperiment both plants flowered. This showed that florigen was a universal flowering hormone in most if not all plants. This then brings up a question. What if a cannabis was grafted to another similar plant but another species. Would the cannabis plant flower if it was not exposed to correct amounts of light/dark to flower if the other plant of another species of plant was exposed to its correct amount of light/dark?
Once again this is just my understanding of the subject and if i have any of that wrong feel free to say so.

grafting dosent have to be done to experiment this. If you would like to see it firsthand, go outside and cover a branch of cannabis for 12/12. It will show sex on that one branch and the rest of the plant will keep vegging...

You are right man, that is the only way to tell. Try it out for yourself if you want to know so badly. Also always have some kind of control for your experiment, just in case anyone's theories are proved true, it is much more believeable if you have something normal to compare it to. I guess it doesn't really apply here 'cause one side "is" the control/normal flowering side, but for most experiments this isn't the case. just my 2 cents. peace!

So anyway coming back to the original thread.
What would be the advantage to splitting 1 plant into 2, rather than just growing 2 plants?
I'm not asking whether or not it can be done because it is 1 smart weed and I reckon there's every chance, just whether or not there's any point.
I suppose that splitting 1 plant into multiple, smaller grow boxes rather than 1 large 1, would allow for lower wattage lights to be used giving same yield for less power maybe?
Anyhow how this is helpful in bringing us back on track.

this wont work a plant is one whole thing itwould fuck it all up it would know where it was at and would maybe turn to male with the stress....heres an idea grow 2 plants lol

Thatd be a very intresting experiment. Makes me reall curious. maby the veg side will start preflowers or something?? Be intresting to find out what id does to the buds.
But yeah ^^ it might just stress it and turn it into a big fat tranny haha
