Keeping the plants in flowering stage?

Hi everyone. I tried to do a search about this but came up empty (rollitup & google as well). Sorry if it was asked before, but I was wondering if it is possible, after the general vegetative growth of the plant, to keep it on the flowering light cycle (ie. 18/6) for the rest of it's life. Would it keep producing buds, or does the plants have to switch back to the vegetative growth for a while then back to flowering to produce?

Anyone ever tried that? Just curious. Thanks!

18/6 is vegetative cycle, 12/12 is flowering cycle.

From what I understand if you let it flower too long it will hermie and self pollinate creating seeds... which is what bagseed is.

I've read that you can have a plant keep producing multiple batches of seeds. It will continue to grow new calyx's, but will eventually die, probably from using up all the stored nutrients.

You can re-veg the plant back into a vegetative cycle, you don't hear about people doing this as much I guess cuz it takes a lot of time?

I'm not 100% on this information, cannabis is so engineered these days you rarely ever hear about it's natural growth process in the wild.

it wont keep producing buds. like lmn8r said it will create seeds. but as many plants do it will eventually die out leaving you with a huge plants and mad seeds and the bud it made will pollenate and leave you nothing.

Sweet, I've been going crazy trying to find that info. thanks a lot guys!

no problem man.
