<p>I don't think the Geode could be a WMD, I feel that it's more of a power source for the warp pads of something like that. I also don't know if homeworld would've used the kindergarten to make more soldiers for the war. Gems take a couple hundred years or so to be made so they would've had to be planted in the ground around the beginning of the rebellion in order for them to even emerge during the rebellion, they probably made some to help them but I don't think it was their main source of where they got their soldiers from. </p>

<p>Well when the Gems where talking about the Geodude they did say if it broke it'd essentialy kill all Gem-Life on Earth but I do understand it's probably not a WMD and more rather connected to the warp pads. And normally Gems do take a long time to grow but then Gem Years are different to ours, and Pearl said that she didn't fight a "thousand year war" there would of been plenty of time to grow new soldiers and the process probably could be sped up, yes the Gems created might be weaker but if they're just essentially canon fodder for the war I don't think they'd care, the whole strength in numbers ideology and so forth... And even if they did speed grow soldiers Fusion would make up for any lapse in strength or size anyways... Ontop of that the Kindergarten was functioning before the Rebellion and we don't know how long for thousands of Quartz Gems could of been already incubating when the Rebellion started.... </p>

<p>No I don't think it was the main source for Soldiers, but I think it would of become a main source, if the colony was completed because it's confirmed that the Earth Kindergartens are for Quartz Gems, and theoretically I guess it could be possible to speed up the growth of Gems but It'd require sucking more life out of the earth??... And it'd make sense that they planned for more soldiers to be grown for later down the line, to restock any they'd lost during the fighting as I assume they'd already have a large supply of Quartz Gems and Soldier Gems for planet conquering escapades. Also judging by how quickly Amethyst reforms maybe Quartz Gems take less time to grow into a Gem? </p>

<p>I assume homeworld already had plenty of Quartz soldiers but used the kindergarten to grow more to help fight. I don't know if Quartz gems take less time, they might but reforming is different than growing in the ground. It makes sense for Quartz gems to be able to reform in a few hours since they're the main soldiers for homeworld so you wouldn't want them to be useless in their gemstone for too long. </p>

<p>Another example of soldiers not taking as long to regenerate is Amethyst herself. While Pearl took two weeks to regenerate, prior to Reformed, Amethyst did not seem to even try to take her time while regenerating. I think the concept of regenerating quickly to return to battle is programmed into soldiers' minds somehow, as an intinct. </p>

I base this on the base concept of Pearls and what they are on Homeworld because they're not fighters or designed to enter any form of combat if a Pearl get "poofed" it'd probably be because they messed up at their role or were no longer what their masters desire anymore, they are an accessory and trends in accessories change often and so would the desire for different types of Pearls and their appearance, and so when one Pearl fails or becomes out-dated they're probably harvested to make a new one. This could also be why CG Pearl takes so long to regenerate, primarily she didn't take long to regenerate as shown by her flashbacks she seemed to regerate rather quickly, due how naturally she wouldn't of regenerated... </p>

Since soldiers aren't any help in their gemstones, homeworld wouldn't want soldiers that take to much time to regenerate. We've seen from Amethyst that they don't just come back in a few seconds since she came back to fast and rushed it. But that they take less than 4 hours as Amethyst had never taken that long before. </p>

Considering Amethyst regerated that quickly and she messed it up. I do think Pearl would've come back a lot earlier than 2 weeks, but not in a couple of seconds. </p>
