does anyone know the longest you can keep a marijuana plant alive? Could you keep it in vegetative for as long as you want before flowering? would it get bigger or help with yeild at all? or is it just worse for the plant?

Are you asking if you veg for say 2-3 months, you will have a monster on your hands?
The easy anwser is yes, but so meany other facters come into play.
Instead of waiting the extra time for more yeild, try clones.

the longer you veg it the more budding sites it will have but the more space it would take up, SOG is the best way to get the most flowering plants for the same area as 1 big plant

yes , trees are like us , if we treat our bodies right we will live longer compared to people who don't , if you treat a tree/weed right it will live longer but it to will die at some point of time

- Some varieties require more care to keep in a constant veg state than others. Sometimes you don't need to do anything, but some plants will start to show flowers eventually. In this case, it's time to prune if you want to keep vegging

- I have heard of plants being kept alive for a decade or two... but I have no real way to verify this.

:joint:The hypothetical answer given "forever or infinite" is a bit full of itself. It is a hell uva long time smoking one strain. From experience, can we count cuttings of cuttings of cuttings... i lost count at 45 or 50 odd generations of cuttings, from the same germinated seed [William's Wonder circa 1988] that was kept alive 4 years+ and circulated from that point to??? And then there is the dooms dayers camp that insist genetic drift will at some point, make the plant unrecognizable from the original seed. What was the question again:eyesmoke:.?

theoretically if ideal conditions are maintained a MJ plant would very easily outlive a human being stuck in its vegitative state.

As for eternity, well I cant say anyone knows the answer to that, some trees are 1000's of years old, some more!!!

But it would be very difficult to say keep a MJ plant in veg state for 10,000years although I say in theory it is possible.

if you grow the perfect mom so nothing is crowded and took awsome care of her she can end up being super healthy and not die for a long time

If one was to renew thier moms yearly you would lose that specific phenotype that you carefully selected out for that particular strain.

yea and that's why I bought seeds and want to make my own seeds that and if I'm gonna get rid of my mom I'm gonna try to get 4 green houses full of clones
