legal loophole for growers?

[isaacnd200]

You can do this with any strain of cannabis.The fact of the matter is that cannabis an indeterminate plant , meaning it will continue to grow while exposed to the same light cycle.Now ,I have never knowingly played with any ruderalis strains , so I don't know.My current mother is a blueberry/lemon haze cross.Inderterminate =growth controlled by internal clock& environmental factors.Determinate=flowers automatically after certain time.Tomatoes are a great example of this.Some strains will flower , fruit and be done(determinated by an internal biological clock)Others will produce as long as they are alive(indeterminate)This seems to be the case with my mother

Your going to make me do some typing. LOL
Most cannabis plants can be kept alive for up to 12 years or so just by keeping a light on it. The lenght of time the plant lives depends on how you treat the plant and keeinp it in its vegative cyle. But bud production does not increase at the same rate as plant growth. Bud production depends on your growing environment, your strain's genetic makeup and the amount of nodes the plant has. All nodes are potential bud areas, but every strain has a genetic threshold for bud production. You can only flower a plant for so long until it reaches its end of its life cycle. You can grow a plant as big as you like and along with more growth you will get more nodes via more buds but bud production is the same. What I wrote earlier was a little misleading and I am sorry about that. The info you posted I agree with you but only to a certain point. I sometimes get bud production and yeild mixed up. My apoligies, I am a stoner after all and a gardener by hobby.

As for the ruderalis, light cycles do not phase it. They have auto flowering properties and can not be cloned nor can you extend its life cycle.

I'm glad to inspire such conversations , sorry to make you type so much,lol.Anywhooo...My original point was that you can keep a plant in a vegetative state almost indefintly.

I am glad to have these conversations bro. thanx for making a old stoner think.

 

[isaacnd200]

no...cannabis will grow perpendicular to gravity automatically no matter where or how it is grown.

 

[isaacnd200]

although.....those new-fangled rotary hydro setups have me very intrigued

 

[isaacnd200]

yes , they are for commercial growers , but the yield for the space used is incredible

 

[Urdedpal]

Its a ebb n flow setup on the rotary, it passes thru a flood tray at the bottom. Its set up more as a SOG so you would use 6 inch clones. The grow medium inthe trays are 4 in rockwool cubes. Cool design I think but like you said expensive.

What I like to do is leave the branch on the plant. Cut a peat moss round in half and get it ready just like you would for a regular clone. Scar up the first layer of the branch I want, revealing the slimy layer. (not removing) down close to the main stem, but not too close. Slather on some rooting compound. Wrap the damp peat moss round around the wound and use two twist ties to wrap this whole thing with a clear plastic wrap. Clear plastic is important because 1. It's clear so you can see the progress. 2. It's plastic so it will hold in the moisture. If your outdoors, try to shade your future cutting. Make sure it stays moist, not wet. (Eyedropper) and in about two weeks it'll be root bound. Clip below the new root level and plant. Clean, easy and you don't have to deal with all those temperamental clones. This technically isn't a clone until you clip it as it's still under the care and feeding of the mother. When you plant it, it's ready to go right to work. No fussy lighting and heating crap. Just plant it and go.

Cool, huh?

i believe they call this an air rooted clone.
