How many times can you harvest a single plant?

It depends on the health of the plant after you cut the bud shutes. If you have lots of small growth left on the bottom of the plant, you could be cutting good new growth clones in 4 wks or, putting it back in the flower room at that point.
If the plant isn't healthy at harvest, it can still be done. But, it'll take alot longer to get good shutes for clones or another harvest.

Thank you all for your very pasionate responses. and for all the constructive guidance.

I do not apologise for my ignorance as I know even all you experienced growers asked the same questions sometime.

Thanks Delus' for the link I will put it to good use to answer your question I was Very Serious

I am Very very New to Growing even though I am VERY EXPERIENCED at Smoking he-he!! I'm just tired of trowing my Money away. I have a lot of Book Knowledge about Cannabis as far as history and such but as you can see even all the books I read didn't teach me what I Node was...

and I've only heard about picking and drying the buds and since I am also tired of all the hear-say I decided to do it my self I just want to do it the right way.

and since ALL of you seem to enjoy this so much I only regret not doing this sooner.:wall:

Keep on Toking!bongsmilie
Absolutely, dont apologize because some dick tell syou not you post anymore, some people feel tough on the web. You do need to do some research so you know the basic about growing. Here the best link you will get, this is the ROLLITUP GROW FAQ

I was not talking to you nor do I care what you think about my response. I was speaking to the original poster. He was asking if he could "pick from the same plant to his own hearts content". I answered. Don't like it? Don't read it. The ignore feature works well, try using it instead of hijacking someones thread to cry about another poster. Private messaging system works too last time I checked. :dunce:

And yes, there is nothing wrong with experimenting and helping each other out. It's what makes it fun. Enjoy your first grow. And check out that guide I linked. Tons of information to be found.

You can pick till your heart is content from the buds that are there, but your right its not going to start producing new buds until it is revegged and reflowered.

dont post again until you've read it all....... Cannabis is not something you pick from, like picking berries...... you grow it, it matures, you harvest, then you start again. picking from the plant just means you're ruining it, you're harvesting buds which have not yet matured and you're just mangling your plant. Some people harvest and then move the barren mother back to a different light cycle to "regenerate" but this is not what you're talking about. You're obviously asking if you can just grow a plant and pick buds from it at will. No, you cannot. Also, the buds you pick need weeks to dry and cure properly, you're basically wasting it all. /facepalm
OK, SO SAY FOR INSTANCE YOU HAVE AN ANNUAL PLANT growing in area that never really has more than say a 20-30 average temp change year round, like say the tropics of thailand, will that plant naturally completely die out every year? I dont know about you people but you dont see dead grassfields in thailand, not like the midwest. so I totally think that Nature she might last season to season.

i am reharvesting a plant right now. they can regenerate from almost nothing and veg back to a even bigger better plant and be reharvested. i m not sure how many times - this will be my second time with this plant. i will try for a 3rd, I don't see why it wouldn't work. if you click the link in my signature, you can see the reveg on the last page. i show before and after. I didn't properly clip her for reharvesting and she was still able to regenerate from one small popcorn bud on a node. Just goes to show the resiliance of a cannabis plant.

I guess my question would be, why doesn't everyone take a couple clones from their plants before they put them into flower? Then those can veg while your first one flowers and by the time your first plant is ready to harvest, your clones will be nice size and ready to give some clones before going into flower. Saves a couple months of time trying to get a flowering plant back into veg mode.

Dude are you serious.... its ass holes like you that make this growing community a pain. seriously he addmited that he was new at this and is asking questions. nobody starts out a genius you gotta start at the begining, trial and error and make sure to ask questions and take notes. Lighten up nobody likes a asshole.

Are you the site police?

Who are you to tell someone "dont post again until you've read it all" ?

There is no such thing as a stupid question. If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?

You've just described how a lot of people grow, perpetually.
While you are correct, that is a method of growing, keep in mind,
the question was specific to multiple reharvesting of plants therefore
you'd have to think the person posting the question wasn't interested
in a grow method, only how much weight in total a plant could put out
during its total, extended lifespan.
I personally wouldn't reharvest due to the time and space it would take, and instead would (and do)
grow how you suggested, that is perpetually. I do harvest plant tops first, then one to two
weeks later harvest the plant bottoms. I just don't reveg/reharvest.
None the less, it's a fair and perfectly valid question by the original poster.

I came upon this thread because I am busy with my first grow and it has not been very successful - only got 3 different strains going. Now I don't want to start from seeds again but I also read that clones lose a little of their potency each time you clone from another clone from another clone etc. So I want to keep my original plant as a mother for cloning, so I always clone from the original, but I also want to have a harvest as soon as possible. So I plan on cloning a week before going into flowering, then flower and harvest from her, then go back to vegging her and keeping her as a mother for future clones... But if I can flower her again and again perhaps I will keep doing that anyway along with the cloning.

The amount of time and energy it would take for your mother to reveg after harvesting and then flower again makes it not worth it - just grow a mother; take clones; pick a new mother; flower the old mother; repeat - much much much easier and better yields. I don't believe there is is any NOTICEABLE potency decrease through generations. GL

To awaken a dead thread.....I am currently on my 4th re harvest. It only takes 3 weeks to regenerate them And I flower them all over again. The bases of the plants look gnarly but it works. I started this because I don't have any place for a mother room. So just chop the main colas and I leave a little larf to regenerate. I have left nothing but a tiny leaf and a single node and they have regenerated. Also I've noticed the flower time is a week or two shorter than the original harvest.

I agree with you this my second harvest off the same plant but this harvest is fuller and better looking but im confused that it just start flowering back without me doing nothing but watering it .is this possible

Can you please answer a long age question for me...

how many times can you pick the flowers off a single plant?

can I keep on picking from the same plant to my hearts content?

are there harvesting seasons when I can expect a new harvest from the same plant?

is it just one harvest from one plant and start all over with a new plant and wait AGAIN?

I have a 3 week old Hindu Kush that I am growing indoors, can't wait to see what develops.:leaf:

Last year I harvested about 12-14 oz from one plant over a 5 month period. I budded her til they were huge and smelly. Clipped every decent bud and left 80% of the leaves. I went back to the 24-hour light cycle for approximately one month and she filled up again. Back to the 11 + 1/2 - 12 and a half hour cycle. One month and a half later she was Heavy with buds so I clipped them all off again. Everybody said I was crazy.
I imagine I could have kept this up forever lol. But I put it away vacuum sealed after curing and every once in a while I pull some out and everybody loves it. I'm getting ready to do the same thing. Oh by the way ... Big Buddha Cheese

1 harvest pair plant

i wish i could keep harvesting on 1 plant lol
Well, not true.

Monstercrop, one plant two to 3 to 4 maybe 5 harvests?

This plant is on her third round of being monster cropped.

I grow her indoors, harvest, chop root ball in half, leave some bud on there and transplant to a smaller pot to allow better room or growth.

Then into veg she goes, reveg takes two weeks longer then starts outing out normal growth.

Then flower then harvest then same steps only now I've left her to do it again outdoors :)

il make it 2-2.each plant has a threshold of bud tht it will produce and tht is strain dependant.always start from the beginning wen u grow again.you get much better results.
Not always, monstercropped plants can get huge and produce huge quality and quantities of bud if you have the right strain
