can you keep an autoflower alive and continually budding all year round?

Hey guys & gals! I also cloned some Auto's for an experiment and it was really interesting.., they grew into dwarf one bud plants. This year wasn't a great summer but my babies are doing well apart from one Auto (Blue Cheese Auto). So I'm thinking to bring her inside and not to harvest her but just to let her grow into a bonsai. I mean she's still a weed from Nature sure she will do something.., I will be doing her naturally though , so no harsh bills to be paying.

Yea..u can cut down and will regrow a little bit I tried it with pinnapple exp. And this what it looks like now.

will it die off after flowering?

Keep a photoperiod mother and pull clones

Reveg in most plants is disappointing . I did say most. I have found that land race hot pepper plants frequently make great perennials. Treat em like a rose bush, cut them back in fall, and they will re grow.

If you are going to play with reveg on pot, then use photo plants not auto.

Then why are there so many grow journals of people who plant in feb and then have a first harvest around may, and then have a second or third harvest at the end of July and sept? Do they just fall flat on their face at this point?

Because we are going right back in

In 3-4 months they have done all that they can

Only in your dreams...autos are good for one shot and one shot only. A true auto has a predetermined veg state and flowers automatically when it reaches a certain age.

Which is exactly why so many breeders are coming out with autos
On regs if I find a keeper , I can hold it forever ...no need for seed

With autos they have planted different crops

Plant in Feb harvest in May

Plant new plants in May and harvest in July or August etc.

That's why I have a reg/photo tent, and an auto tent... Best of both worlds ! !
