Pruning the lower limbs creates more air-flow under the hemp plants in an indoor situation and creates cuttings for cloning. It also forces the […]

It is possible to harvest hemp plants and then rejuvenate them vegetatively for a 2nd and even 3rd harvest. A second harvest can be realized in as little as 6-8 weeks.  Since the plant’s stalk, and roots are already formed, the plant can produce a second, even third harvest of buds in a little more […]
