After harvest

I got a quick question. If I grow outdoors next year, after harvest what happens to the plant? Can I leave it dominant for the winter? Will it return the following year bigger and better? Diminished quality?

OK OK so it was more than one question. I don't live in Cali or someplace that has awesome temps year round. So frosting, possibly snow is an possibility.

Cheers to the states that legalized yesterday!!!

So, for example, the cali "trees" that people like Jorge Cervantes has, all have grown during one season? Under optimal conditions? And then get chopped down? Granted, strain variance considered, my indoor grows never create beasts like that. Haha

pretty amazing. don't even need optimal conditions. cannabis is a beast of a plant. size is related to the soil container (root ball size) and veg time.

Start with new plants each year. start them early indoors and plant them out at a good size 3'-4' and they will get massive. Or plant them out small and keep lights over them until the days get longer...

thats not what annuals means my guy...annual means once it fruits or flowers its life cycle is done , perennials will continually produce fruit or flowers.

That's exactly what i said my guy! Cannabis is an annual plant that grows for one year and then it dies after it has developed flowers and seeds!

Some people have hypothesized that cannabis may have begun as a perennial since it's the only annual that is dioecious. (Having a male and female plant) . The idea goes that the plant started in the tropics and as it moved into colder areas, it adapted into an annual. Which is the plant we know today.

It's also thought there may be some remnant plants (sativa) that go a little dormant after flowering and reveg in the spring. Technically behaving like a perennial. I assume that's rare.

I think this info may have come from Ed Rosenthal, can't remember for sure though.
