Letting buds die off naturally

[Nootnam]

Hey guys i have a very small outdoor plant thats flowering already, if i let it go through the natural cycle will it revert back into veg after the flowers all die off and reflower next season?

Reason being is because i got a clone and stuck her outdoors beg july and it went through stress so is only about a 7 to 8 inches tall and im not gonna be yielding much anyway.

Also if i do this, should i just feed it veg nutes through its first flower?

Cannabis is an annual that dies after it completes its flowering cycle.
Without photo period manipulation the plant will not reveg, it will die.

what kind of photo period manipulation do i need?

 

[georgyboy]

It needs to be kept under 18-6, or 24-0 after it flowers for it to revert to veg and grow another season. You have to bring it in over the winter and set it back in spring. If you keep it outside over winter the days are very short and the plant will just die.

Why waste buds?

 

[Nootnam]

Im not gonna yield more than 5 or 6 grams off of it and the amount i spent on soil and nutes isnt worth the amount of bud im getting. I would rather just veg it longer and get bigger juicier buds next year but i dont have a spot to manipulate the photo period like that so i guess im just gonna have to harvest it.

I didnt realize putting out a clone from a mature mother would flower so soon, live and learn ayy

you can still harvest those 5 or 6 grams and keep the plant growing, I do it every year.

How would i do that without choppin most the plant? Will this work outdoor as well if i put it in a greenhouse?

No dumb dumb he just said you have to reveg. Search reveg and do some reading

Take only the buds, and leave all the leaves that you can so they can still photosynthesize.

I understand what reveging is, im just curious if the plant will reveg through the winter after taking the buds and leaving whatever leaves i can

It will if you have it under more than 12 hours of light per day - 18 would be my choice for lights on in a 24 hr period.

Does it have to be direct sunlight or will say 8 direct, 5 indirect hours be okay also?

That's only 13 hours with approx 1/3 of it being indirect/diffused ?
No, I think I'd like more than that to keep them solidly in veg.

 

[Nootnam]

well thats approximately what it would get in the middle of summer right?

I don't know where you are to answer that question.
A quick google on your part will tell you your sun rise/set times.

 

[Nootnam]

Longest day in summer is 14 hours 22 minutes of light

 

[gioua]

give it more light then she is getting now (hopefully over 7hours per day now goes to 12+) will allow her to reveg

I flowered a 6 inch clone and got an oz...I did it on purpose though...so after stretching it is only that tall? Because the clone that started flowering at 6 in ended at 16 inches.

 

[Nootnam]

Her first bunch of pistils popping out were on august 4th so im claiming that as day 1 of flower so definately hasnt stretched yet. Should i expect a pretty big increase in size and hopefully pull an ounce as well?
