Some people have told me that when pot plants age they lose potency, others said every year a plant will get danker and danker.
What do you think

No, one that is just old. One that has been alive for a year or longer.

The stories I hear about old plants the people just grow outdoors then let winter come and the plants die then come back in summer. This one weed I smoked was suppossed to be from a 20 yr old plant. One person said there was a plant so big and old that he couldnt hug the stock of it.

that would be the ultimate man! i would believe it too man. marijuana is just like a little tree. i bet leaving one for that long would totaly create a monster tree like pot plant!!! i want one!!!
the only thing ive heared about the age of pot is the age its at when you harvest. if you wait too long to harvest and do so when the plant is closer to the last cycle of its season, the thc has already broken down and become less potent, this is why its so important to harvest befor the maturity of the plant begins to spiral into the death cycle of the plant. this is usualy when there is about 60-70% red hairs to whites. or if you can look at the tricombs really close its when about 50% of them have turned an amber colorl. as for budding and reveging, it does nothing to the potentcy as long as its compleatly resorted bach into vegitative.
ive also heared that weed looses potency over time after it has been harvisted... i guess im saying it has a shelf life? i have heared that after about 8 months the thc begins to deteriate also. i dont know if this is true or just verry very slow, because i got some bud from my uncle and he had it in his sock drore for 2 years and it nearly knocked me on my ass... so idk... anyone else have anything like this happen?

Theres really 2 schools of thought on this subject. I wouldnt say either are wrong, it all depends on the genetics of the strain.
1. You can clone the same strain for years and years from an original plant without ever losing potency, it may even "evolve" and get better over time with advancement in nutrient programs.
2. Plants have a "biological clock" and this clock is predetermined for a 1 year cycle. This is why plants will show preflowers and show sex without being flowered if you veg them long enough. They start to "show you" they are ready. You will also notice that after time the Nodes stop growing parallel and stat to offset. Some people will say this is a sign that plants are ready to flower, I would somewhat agree.
The reason the clock is 1 year is because all Marijuana orginated from outdoor strains that were vegged, then flowered and cropped always in 1 year cycles.
IMHO both of these have parts that are right, but I believe that with so many hybrids and new indoor strains, marijuana evlolves very fast because of going through so many generations. You can pick traits and cross pollinate plants and have a whole new strain in 2-3 generations.
I think what it comes down to is your strain, How Pure the genetics are. If there is a recessive hermie gene then you will have like 1% or .5% of all clones that turn out hermie. If you have pure strong genetics then your plants wont get that genentic breakdown overtime and can potentially be cloned forever, and never lose potency, If the conditions were kept ideal.

The person who saw the one that the stalk was so big that when he tried to hug it his arms couldnt wrap around it was in MS. But he said it was a really long time ago.where is this pot grown,i've herd of older than ten year old plants i just forgot where it was.

About when the plants stay outdoors for years and years. Die in winter come back in summer. Supossidly they get woody like a tree. and the branches and stalk are supossed to stay in winter leaves come back in summer. Thats what I have been toldTheres really 2 schools of thought on this subject. I wouldnt say either are wrong, it all depends on the genetics of the strain.

Any pot plant starts to get woody stalks when they get big enough. You veg a plant for 6 months under a 1k light and you will have a 6 foot tree with an 1-2 inch woody stalk.
I dont have a lot of experience with re-vegging plants, there havent been much studies. But if you have a healthy root system and you keep feeding the plant the stalk will fatten up and build up with callous cells and eventually pop out new branches. If you have a healthy root system there is no reason why you could not re-veg a plant. Anythings possible with a little patients and care.
I think most people tend cut and toss the roots is because most growers use promix now instead of oganic soils. People are using cheap soiless mediums that break down over time so you can get 1 good crop from it, then just throw it away before it gets too acidic.
If your going to re-veg plants it would definitely have to be a really healthy root system with some really fresh organic soil and fetilizer, lots of earth worms to eat up dead roots, it would be easier outdoors for sure.
I think you just dont hear a lot about this because most people want to produce as much as possible in shortest amounts of time. Not a lot of growers have time to just experiment. Its definitely one of my goals to have a grow set up and an extra place just to experiment.
