If you were to flash freeze a live plant without cutting her down... would she be dead or could you continue her grow after she has been frozen?

Because i've sgudied biotechnologie. I can tell you that its possible but not the same way you think.. You can flash freeze plant tissue and regrow then keep it at low freezing point alive yes and use these cells in a special ms-media to make it do exactly what you want.. grow a leaf grow a roots many possibilities. But you cannot take that and grow it like nothing happenned... Most growth tissues have died. So answer is no.. not that way. And the question is yes you can regrow, but only from the living cell. Neeing lab and invitro equippement. Many nursery uses lab to keep genetic of plants alive... To regrow later.. but don,t expect to keep regrowing that same plant. Youl have to recreate growing cell with ms media and growth solution

1000% dead. If you let a plant get below 50*F you’re gonna stress her badly.... if she is alive. She may turn into a he or a they. Once you freeze its game over. When you fresh freeze cannabis it’s referring to after harvest and doesn’t include the root zone or container...both of which you would need to grow a plant if it was theoretically even possible to do what you’re asking. Extraction artists do this for live resin etc. Hope this makes sense. Cheers

No, all the plants water molecules will freeze and crystallize destroying the cells in the plant. Same reason we cant be flash frozen and reanimated. Lol Cheers 💨

Take a vedging plant and put it outside at minus 40*c bring it back inside you'll notice all the cloroplast cell have been damage . The leaf will turn like a soggie life less green out it under a light all leaf will die... Put depending on how long the plant was exposed to cold growing tissue might nit all be damage.. sleeping meristems might slowly start bursting out but the plant is very weak at this point and should be treated like a clone. And no watering shold be done or if so (light spray) foliar spray and humididome should be use. And that is inly if the plant wasent frosen for to long..

No idea, but would be a good experiment for you to do and report on.
