How many times can you regenerate a cannabis plant?

IMO Learn to clone or grow from seed each time.
Re-veg a plant takes allot of time before you can flower it again.
I can grow a plant from seed to finish in the time it takes a plant to be ready to flower again after re-veging it
The only time I think its worth it to re-veg is when its the only way to save/keep a amazing plant.
What I mean by amazing is a pheno you will probably never see again from that strain.

Very little point... best to take cuttings after the first re-veg and use those for your next grow.

you spend 6 months reveging until you get a healthy enough plant to flower again. while you push out 2 harvests a year I push 6. cloning is much easier

mj is a seasonal plant, so its expecting itself to veg 10 months a year every year, until the death of the earth 
revegging a plant indoors is a risky experience, as already mentioned it can go hermie of not done right, and takes 6 upto months. however.....if done correctly then a revegged plant will yeild some frosty buds indeed!
i seen one just a few months ago which was put back into veg 3 weeks into flower, and after 6 months was put back into flower..... it resulted in buds growing off buds and was quite a sight!!....it really isnt woth the time and risk though, clones much faster, seeds much faster, its really something youd do if you were forced to.

How can u be forced into reveg? I mean, u could always take a cutting and clone and hereby keep its genetics going, right?
Humm.. Come to think of it, isn't cloning just reveging a cutting?

If you ate trying to save those genetics... Your clones died and the only way too keep it alive is to reveg then clone it again....How can u be forced into reveg? I mean, u could always take a cutting and clone and hereby keep its genetics going, right?

i disagree .. i currently have a nice durban female regenning for the 4th time !!!
after harvest . .it takes about 2 weeks for the regen to get underway .. another 2-3 weeks with 18-24 hr light ,
then 12 hour flower and you can harvest again in about a month .. a lot quicker than cloning , plus you
start with with a full root growth ..
plant in Feb , harvest in may , regen , then put outdoors in mid june .. big bush ..

I've seen really old Thai plants, ( In Thailand ) Villagers claim 5 + years.
Main stalk is like a tree trunk. They harvest, chop it back, re veg, harvest etc. Of course it is Thailand.
Amazing smoke!
I just use clones myself.

I think you mean re-growing -- where you harvest a plant but leave some greenery so you can re-veg and re-flower on your way to a re-harvest.
I've been doing re-grows for years and they average 10% of my perpetual grow. With re-grows you typically have 2 bud sites on the second grow where you had a single bud site the first harvest. Re-grow yields average 125-150% of the first harvest because of the increase in the number of buds. However, the second growth buds will be a bit smaller than the original bud. So it's kind of a trade-off. more but smaller buds.
I re-grow bushy plants, not the tall scrawny ones, because you want to leave a double-handful of greenery around the base of the plant after the first harvest. Re-grows are also faster. A re-grown plant that took 6 weeks to veg the first time will reach the same size in 4-5 weeks the second time around. Same with flowering, because the nugs are smaller you can knock a week or so off the re-flowering time too. PM me with any specific questions about re-growing. Glad to help.
Good luck, BigSteve.

thanks Big Steve .. i really like the regen , or regrow method .. i expect to have a good rotation going soon , and will also
put a few outdoors , when the time is right ..
on my first reqrow , i stripped everything except for a couple of "nodes" and it did quite well , then i read where you should
leave a few of the small , interior buds , which i did and got a much bushier plant ...
Currently starting the 4 th grow on a nice Durban plant . I was just wondering if anyone has had anything like 10 regrows..
I prefer this to cloning, but then i'm working a small space , if i had a larger operation , i'd have to get good at cloning ..
also , potency seems to remain strong .. .garce
bigsteve ... taking you up on your offer .. this one is about ferts and nutes .. i have not been able to find a decent answer
after much searching ..
My biggest question is this .. if i use a liquid fert , like DYNA GRO(and dyna bloom) .. it that all i need ? or do i still
fert with NPK and add the DG occasionally ?
I cannot seem to find any product that has ONLY the micro nutes , which help the plants better use NPK ..
I would like to prepare my own soil/compost mix , and just supplement with micro nutes , then use a bloom product
during flower ..
I have also read about "flushing" .. does that only work with the liquids ? When i'm ready to switch to flower , if i've
been using something like Espoma organic(NPK) , will i be able to flush that nitrogen ?
thanks ... garce
