ОглавлениеOver eight long and dutiful weeks you’ve flowered a sweet, succulent and fragrant plant. She’s a keeper: 30 delicious colas, all glistening with goodness. However, just as you’re holding pruning shears to her trunk, you’re beating yourself up over having not taken clones or kept seeds.
“Damn…” you whisper under your breath, stumbling and stubbing your toe. “If I harvest her now she’ll be gone forever—kaput! There’s got to be a way to save these genetics without wasting all these yummy buds!”
Wiping the grimace from your face, and the blood from your foot, you carefully consider which of three possible actions to take:
1. Follow the instructions (in many a grow book) for attempting to “re-green” or “rejuvenate” the cannabis: Cut down your plant, leaving about 15 to 30% of the lower branches, foliage and buds behind. Flick the lights back to 24/0 (24 hours of light and none of darkness), cross your fingers and hope for the best.
2. Take mature age clones: Cut off the ripe buds, replanting them, following cloning protocol. Flick the lights back to 24/0, cross your fingers and hope for the best.
3. Utilize the Marijuana Regeneration System, as taught in this book: Harvest your entire plant, hanging her upside down to dry. Then initiate the regeneration of the remaining stump, growing out 60 or so new tips (each ready to begin flowering) over the next 38 days. All up, not bad for a plant that, prior to the chop, had just 30 colas.
Now, let’s weigh the options:
Solutions 1 or 2? Forget ‘em! I don’t know about you, but I don’t like putting in all that love and care, all those nutrients and lumens, only to sacrifice up to 30% of yield. Nor do I cherish lopping ripe buds for a possibly ill-fated cloning attempt when they could be put to better use; too much wasted goodness. There is no doubt that the first two methods may produce new growth—a good 50% chance, by my estimate. Yet the question is this: At what cost? In both instances, harvest is severely compromised (with corresponding reductions in yield) and you are left with a mutilated mess to dry.
Solution 3?
That’s more like it. A full harvest to enjoy plus the potential to regenerate 60 new colas in the same pot. It’s a no brainer. In fact, it’s just like magic!
It may sound far-fetched, but the reality is anything but. This book is about refining existing wisdom and then applying it creatively. It offers a planned, tried and consistent technique; a reliable system allowing you to grow a single plant over and over again. Yummy. Decision made: Solution 3. Safe now to address the bloodied toe.
