Re: how long is too long is a good question, how far can you stretch cannabis longevity? [Re: Iamasmoker] #48645 - 06/02/08 05:25 AM (16 years, 8 months ago)
Quote: Iamasmoker said: Being that it will flower no matter how short it is if the plant it was cloned from was budding(i know this from experience), what I'm asking is, despite that, since the plant is brand new as a clone, and is very young and short, will it be able to live longer if it is a short enough clone?
When you take a clone, regardless if the plant you are taking it from is in vegetative state or flowering state, the clone reverts back to vegetative state in order to root.

Well, as soon as it roots, the clone will enter flowering if the photoperiod signals it to do so. You said the other plants stopped growing when they started to flower, but I'm sure they had their stretch as soon as the photoperiod signaled it was time to start flowering. The clone continuing to grow was probably just it doing its stretch.
So, essentially, what you're asking is if you could take a clone, and take another one from it after it grows and stretches a little before it really starts to flower, and continue on the process like that? I definitely wouldn't think you'd have a few months in which the clone, in flowering from the time it roots, would grow and stretch before it focused on bud production.
If you're looking to keep refreshing an outdoors site, I think the best thing to do would be to keep a mother in vegetative state indoors and take the clones out there.
