picking buds and leaving plant to grow?

Hi I was wondering what might happen if you grew a plant, picked the buds off the live plant when she was ready, then put it back onto a veg. Light cycle. would it keep growing okay? An is so After a couple months if you put back onto a 12/12 cycle would it re bud again? Just a thought, would have to be extremely careful when harvesting but any ideas? Has anybody tried this? Am every interested in trying this but don't want to waste my time if its not possible.

Its a technique called re-veg, there's a number of posts on it. Here's one:

I did it once after realizing I had a keeper but no clone. Its not difficult, but it does require patience as you wait to see new growth, like up to 20 days. If you find a winner late flower but have no clone its well worth the try. If you're successful they typically turn into excellent mothers because they don't have single-apical dominance but instead shoot sprouts all over. Like 30+.

Good luck.

I usually pick the fat buds then leave the popcorn buds at the bottom to chill a little long on the plant then crop that once they get nice. Some times the plant will try to heal it's self .

i have 2 plants ive budded out 2 times already in 12 months inside--now reveging for a 3 rd time.--i give a good dose of fish emulsion 5-1-1 after clipping bigger buds--put in dark 24 hrs then lights for 24/0 ----18-6 whickk ever you prefer--i use 24/0---the 2 plants in the background----1 is a early skunk and other is a lemon kush
