However, regeneration also has its fallbacks. It’s not a walk in the park. Novice growers and even those growing weed for decades can still fail to regenerate a plant. It is best to read more on the process, watch video guides, and read forums. But of course, mistakes are still welcome as they are the best way to learn.
Yes, regeneration takes less time than growing weed from scratch. But do not expect the process to happen overnight, either. Since regeneration happens depending on the environment and light cycles, the time it takes until harvest is up to the grower. Mess up one factor that affects the transition from vegetative to the flowering stage and expect to spend more time than planned.
Growers should be on the lookout for reduced yields during regeneration. Although potency doesn’t change in the process, successive harvests in a plant may lead to lesser yields. Regenerating the plant may be great for a second or third time. However, continue observing for signs where the plant becomes less viable and stop before wasting time to regenerate a non-regenerable plant.
Stress is a phenomenon that affects the growth of any plant. In cannabis plants, stress may cause alterations in its physical appearance, potency, and yield. It may even be the reason your plant dies. Regeneration poses a risk of stressing out your plant. Try not to prune too much of its leaves. If you need to move it someplace else, avoid bouncing or dropping them or the container holding them.
