For the island girl in the Beetle with the doobie
There are three paths: seed, clone, regeneration. Ignoring any one is akin to handing a third of the pie back to god.

About the Author
Index
I’d like to thank Andrew and the wonderful team (Heather, Ian and Jack) at Green Candy Press for their undying efforts to make this the very best book possible. From contract to culmination, it’s been a joy.
Over eight long and dutiful weeks you’ve flowered a sweet, succulent and fragrant plant. She’s a keeper: 30 delicious colas, all glistening with goodness. However, just as you’re holding pruning shears to her trunk, you’re beating yourself up over having not taken clones or kept seeds.
“Damn…” you whisper under your breath, stumbling and stubbing your toe. “If I harvest her now she’ll be gone forever—kaput! There’s got to be a way to save these genetics without wasting all these yummy buds!”
Wiping the grimace from your face, and the blood from your foot, you carefully consider which of three possible actions to take:
1. Follow the instructions (in many a grow book) for attempting to “re-green” or “rejuvenate” the cannabis: Cut down your plant, leaving about 15 to 30% of the lower branches, foliage and buds behind. Flick the lights back to 24/0 (24 hours of light and none of darkness), cross your fingers and hope for the best.
2. Take mature age clones: Cut off the ripe buds, replanting them, following cloning protocol. Flick the lights back to 24/0, cross your fingers and hope for the best.
3. Utilize the Marijuana Regeneration System, as taught in this book: Harvest your entire plant, hanging her upside down to dry. Then initiate the regeneration of the remaining stump, growing out 60 or so new tips (each ready to begin flowering) over the next 38 days. All up, not bad for a plant that, prior to the chop, had just 30 colas.
Now, let’s weigh the options:
