Well then if you want to grow,
Yes, MJ is a perennial, however most grow it and harvest it as a semi- annual. If you have good temps year around, or plan to grow it indoors, than yes you could just remove the buds, and keep it growing untill it wants to blossom again. Many plants can be forced as in what we do with artificial lighting when we go 12/12. If you stay outdoors with it then most likely you will get only one harvest a year. Some plants like a healthy Gardenia can and often do flower twice in a season, but I'm thinking that this is bred into the plant, don't know for certain why some do and some don't.
By the way I would choose either indoor or outdoor, BUT I would not bring an outdoor plant in too fast as you could end up with an explosion of little things that like to **** the juice right out of your baby. critters too love a nice warm relaxed atmoshere where there aren't too many predators. I like spiders that do not chew leaves for nests, wicked little hunters.
Good Luck
smoke in peace
