What they stated cannot be done, not in an outdoor grow cycle, your first comment was more on point. Yes you can pick buds, but you will get different quality depending on the time of the flowering stage you pick them due to not being mature. The plant itself is either ready for harvest or it's not.
You can do exactly what you just stated, but you shouldn't do it with a full sized plant, you should do it with clones, and re-vegitate it into a full plant (as you stated)... Once you harvest, you should find your strongest plants, clone them, and then you put them back into a vegetation cycle, rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat. You were right to say and stick to your original comment..
There is only 1 harvest when dealing with weed, indoor or outdoor. Indoor you can have 3-4 grow cycles a year depending on how big you want your plants to be when you harvest. Outdoor, you're at the mercy of the daylight cycle. Vegetation (depending on region) April-August, flowering will start showing in mid-late August, and flowering will go from August-October, and depending on the bud type, will depend on beginning middle or late October for harvest.. It really depends on how the trichomes look. At the end of the day, industrial MMJ growers are indoor growers. CBD growers are outdoor growers and this is due to quality. Medical Marijuana you want the best of the best quality so that's why it'll be indoor in a more controlled grow. CBD can be extracted from Hemp which is a lot easier and more forgiving plant to grow outdoor.
This is for those who don't understand the process, obviously you do slade. I just want to clear up the difference between a grow cycle and a harvest. You can do multiple grow cycles a year on indoor, you will always have 1 harvest per cycle.
