Myth Busting - Revegging Autoflowers

Yeah the idea behind makes no sense. I guess maybe the question that should be asked is "do we all agree that true autoflowers die at the end of their life cycle?" If that's a general "yes," than the reveg points in another direction of what's causing it.
Here on the opposite side I had 4 mega buds colosol purps photos and all were germed @ separate times and all flowered out under 18/6 like full on dense flowers now I've never seen this so nature is 1 interesting lady lol. 1 big thing is we don't know enough about the I think it's 10 genes which is why I think that even in stable genetics we get variations I've had wild differences in clones even and these were the first pulled and they smell similar but if you saw bud structure you would be like wat happened but a clone from same plant and same spot on plant grown directly next to and with same feed came out normal bud structure wise I will look for pics.
 
possible but not very sucessful

It is possible to graft cannabis on perennial strains of hops and I imagine with a bit of effort and unorthodox techniques you might have a more perpetual harvest. I do know of people that have successfully grafted cannabis on annual hops vines, to camouflage among the hops their outdoor grows and did gain considerable results.
A perennial cannabis strain is a bit far from us, unless somebody invests into genetic research and manages to manipulate its genome. That would be obviously more easy with photoperiod plants since they are indeterminate by nature, whereas autos are determinate, despite some exceptions due to hybridisation.
 
It will be a while, but I'll be growing some duck this winter. How they do it is, the plant you wish to reveg eventually dies, and I mean brown, stone dead... at least by appearance, then one day, ( you have to keep it watered ) it sprouts from the base of the stem! It wasn't a fluke, I've seen it and done it several times. I almost threw away the first one! usually take 3-4 weeks.

I would love to see it

What was this?
 
Grafting on a hop vine is not something new and is basically no different to grafting one strain of cannabis on another. Perhaps hop is better in a sense since it can get much bigger than cannabis in size and would not reject the graft as easily as a cannabis plant would do. But on a perennial strain of hops that will overwinter, you have to graft every spring new cannabis grafts, since the cannabis shoots will not survive winter easily. That is not cold related but light related. They will bloom and die after. Revegging them is not guaranteed since they do compete with the much more numerous hops shoots and it is difficult to provide the adequate light schedule for revegging outdoors. Doing this indoors is not feasible as a cost and space requirements. Hops do get very big. An annual strain for beer stays relatively small and is hemp-like but a perennial is usually a decorative plant that is used to cover fences with its vines and gets really huge. And it's woody branches are not so welcome for grafting.
Buds from such grafts are potent, as much as the original strain, but their terpene profile is too hop/bitter beer like and not so pleasant to smoke.

That's crazy, so the buds grafted onto hops will actually produce some of the same terpenes as in hops?

Have you ever tried Hemporer beer? Brewed with hemp oils.

Get ready: an exciting new offering that’ll change the way you think about hoppy beers is coming your way. The brewers at New Belgium have created a new style of IPA: The Hemperor HPA. With the popularity of hoppy beers, our brewers are always on the lookout for different hop varieties and the complexities and flavors new strains can bring. That’s where hemp comes into the picture. Without getting too nerdy, we found a unique way to recreate hemp terpene flavors in a beer, which complement the inclusion of hop flavors and hemp hearts (seeds) in a brand new, delicious way—not to mention this beer is extremely dank! The flavors and aromas are so unique that it’s a style unto itself, hence HPA®.

Dunno if I want to smoke Frankenweed.... :biggrin:

There are some terpenes common to both (such as humulene), even without grafting. My White Chem from Mephisto had very distinctly hoppy terpenes, and smelled like a lemon zest infused double IPA.

Also: Growing hops is fun.
