So I read...

...on a newbie post that one can harvest the buds from a lady, then put her back into vegetative and do it all over again? WTF? This came from an experienced grower giving out info. Is this true? Thanks, Wotanskrieger.

My Mom always told me not to believe everything you read.

Yes it is true. The general thinking is it will grow with a bit less vigor and takes about as long for the plant to re-veg as would one just started normally, but you would know what you're getting.

its true. you have to put the plant back in veg and flower again
might end up with a hermie though

You learn something new every day in that case. Thx

well then folks, i'll give'r a try i'm no seasoned grow, so i may screw it all up lol.

and now i ask....can i harvest the buds then throw her straight back into a flowering state? or does she need to veg for a while first? lol.

Flowering takes two months. Make it easy on yourself and start some new seeds or grow clones in that time. No experienced grower would call this 'reflowering' a best practice.

agree with homebrewer, its much easier and efficient to just clone than to reveg and flower.
but if you must know..
harvest as usual, cut your plant down to resemble a plant that was 3-4 weeks from seedling stage (cut the stalk down, leave some fan leaves..)
flush if you havent already, then put her back in veg

i do this, don't have room to keep a mother, and i like this nl strain
so i reveg, then cut branches for clones, on my 3rd cycle with this one NL

Well I might be that experienced grower and I do tell folks they can do this

the pic is an example of one I did it took 3 weeks to re-veg (some clones take up to 20 days) and the vigor was incredible was growing an inch a day till a power failure and freeze killed it
