    Question I've searched all over for an answer to this...

    Right, so I think I've accidentally cultivated a bonsai bud.

    I was gifted two tiny little plants that unfortunately lived on a window sill for about a month and saw virtually no growth, the leafs looked healthy though. I decided to actually give these little ladies a chance to try and thrive and built a very simple small closet set up. So I started by transferring them from the tiny pots they were originally in, along with with the organic root net that I was told would just degrade into the soil (it didn't). I could see the net just surfacing through the soil so decided to check it and it was strangling the roots so that is now gone.

    As regards the set up I went in like I knew it all and strung up a 600w duel s. HPS light that was far to intense and started burning the tiny leafs. It was roughly 3ft away from the plants, also there was no extraction set up and my temp was rising to the high 30s! There is a fan for air circulation and movement on the leafs and lined with thick white plastic.

    After this I went and actually started my research and decided a couple of CFLs were best suited for my situation. So I got 2x large 35w (150w equivalent) bulbs set up around 6inch from the top of the plants and my temperatures are sitting at a steady 25C with lights on, 20C at night. This actually encouraged some growth after about 6 weeks of having them. The lights are on a 18-6 cycle.

    I should also add they are planted in organic compost from my own garden that was well sifted through and seems to be a decent substrate.

    RIGHT, QUESTION TIME!

    After keeping them in this set up for around 3 weeks they had grown to about 5inch and started budding! I couldn't believe it, didn't think this was possible? I've attached some image's below, one when they first went, another when they started flowering and some of the stages they're in now. It was completely pointless in harvesting them, the whole thing could be rolled up in a blunt... Still nice n' frosty though.

    So I just left them on a veg cycle to see if anything would happen and sure enough new leafs have started sprouting through and looking fairly healthy. Is it possible to still grow a plant after it's started flowering? Because I'm sure they're seasonal plants?

    Preferably I'd like to clone them and start again now I'm more clued up on it but they still seem too small to clone, is this a thing?

    Any help will be really appreciated, thanks guys and gals.

    Unless they're autos you can veg a plant almost indefinitely (and also force it back into veg if need be from flower)...Is how mother plants are created, trimmed and constantly vegged. A clone of a flowered plant will produce a clone that thinks its in flower. Better to clone a vegging plant as far as I know but I have no experience in this so don't take my word for it

    cannabis is easy to keep alive unless its an auto


    18/6 -24hrs of light daily = veg
    12/12 = flower

    At any stage you flip back to veg by adjusting the light , But its pointless unless you have a special pheno and want to save it , It takes weeks to reveg . must quicker to just pop new seeds imho , They are going to be mega stressed clones to start with , New seeds could be ready to go into flower in 4 weeks, but Your plants need a few weeks before getting cuttings , Then another few weeks to root , So just quicker to get some new seeds

    I wouldn't continue with that grow, they have had such a bad start it looks to have effected them permanently.

    If they are flowering on 18/6, doesnt that imply that they are autos?
