Regeneration
After the marijuana plant has ripened and the flowers have
reached full maturity, it still responds to changes in its environ-
ment. Plants can be regenerated and can yield a second, third and
possibly even more harvests.
In its natural environment, marijuana flowers in the fall, and
then dies as the environment becomes inhospitable and the number
of daylight hours decrease. However, if the daylength increases, the
plants soon begin to revert from flowering to vegetative growth. At
first, the plant produces single-fingered leaves, then 3 and S

fingered leaves. Within a few weeks the plants grow at the rapid
vegetative rate.
There are several advantages to regenerating marijuana plants
rather than starting from seed. The plant has been harvested and its
qualities and potency are known. The plant has already built its in-
frastructure. Its root system and main stem are already grown so
that it takes less energy and time for the plant to produce new
vegetative growth. A regenerated plant produces the same amount
of vegetative growth in 45 days that takes a plant started from seed
75 days.
To regenerate a plant, some leaves and bud material are left on
the stem as the plant is harvested. The stem may be left at nearly its
full length, or cut back to only a few inches from the ground. The
more stem with leaf material left on the plant, the faster it
regenerates, as new growth develops at the sites of the remaining
leaf material.
The plant started flowering in response to a change in the light
cycle. To stop the flowering process, the light cycle is turned back
to a long day period. The plant reacts as if it had lived through the
winter and renews growth as if it were spring. Within 7-10 days
new non-flowering growth is apparent.
Marijuana seems to react fastest to the change in light cycle
when the light is kept on continually during the changeover period.
After it has indicated new growth, the light cycle may be adjusted to
the normal garden lighting cycle.
