Has anyone ever tried to re-veg a flowering plant?

[ryan1918]

I'm curious if anyone has flower'd a plant completely, cut off the buds, re-veg'd it and reflowered it, seems like you could cut several weeks out if it is possible, I known people to re-veg them after a few weeks but never heard of anyone doing it after the plant is completely done or close to it..

PS this isn't a mt dew thread!!

 

[Walter9999]

Yes, no problem...all the time, just revert back to veg and Nute schedule...leave as much green leafy product on the plant As possible

 

[a senile fungus]

It is possible, but I don't think you'd save any time. It takes a while for the plant to revert fully, in that time any clones you'd taken would be taking off .

Not to mention, reverting to veg could have a negative impact on plant vigor or medicinal quality.

I have done it before, but, I'd prefer not to.

And here i was gonna say supplement with the DEW.... ruin all my fun

Fungus hit the nail on the head it can be / it has been done before but the results are not always ideal, that being said it's better then losing the genetics all together in my opinion.

Hell yes-
Nov 1 I stripped a plant and today its got TONS of nugs on it-gonna strip that one again in a few weeks

 

[jacksthc]

you can do it and get great results but it does cause the plant a lot of stress and it take a very long time, sorry did i forget to say it takes a very long time
a full re veg takes 2 mouths or more, I have done it a few times with great results

you can buy a pack of seeds and germinate veg and start flowering them in 5 weeks

what exactly did you do?

oh wow I didn't think it would take that long I was thinking maybe 2-3 weeks so I guess it wouldn't work out to well but don't you have to worry about the pot getting root bound?

 

[jacksthc]

not really as the plant don't do much for a mouth, just grows a few wierd single leaves

 

[Joe Blows Trees]

I grew a sweet chocolope plant and didn't clone it. I harvested all but the bottom buds and left as many bottom fan leaves as possible. One month after placing her back on 18/6 with veg nutes, she started popping out single weird leaves and then regular growth resumed. She's got about two more weeks before flowering. Revegging is faster than from seed IMO but a clone will be faster than revegging, depending on when the clone is taken. Here's a pic of her after a month and a half.

Hey Ryan! Did u give her Mt dew!
Haha!!

@a senile fungus is 100% correct in what he said. Run clones from a dedicated "momma" under 24 hr veg (never let her flower) and always have the same genetics/potency/yield etc. The clones can be cut, rooted and under the big light in 7-10 days on average. Much faster than reveg and better yield, quality & preservation of genetics than what you would get from a reveg as well.

Did this with me Bastard Bubba Kush (seeds made by Aeviaah) and worked great. Took a bit but she came back looking better than ever!

ive found that for outdoor grows using reg beans regrowing can be a good way of ensuring a solid female crop, instead of planting a number of beans then waiting for them to get half grown before showing sex, if matured early then sex is shown & males can be discarded then only females left to regrow, here is an example of some regrowers, these were planted early in the outdoor season(southern hemisphere) september 2015 & fully budded at only 12"/30cm high because the daylight hours were soo short plants went into maturing very early, males were removed , as the daylight hours increased naturally the plants regrew to approx 5'-6'/150cm-180cm & are in their first 2 weeks of rebudding, there is some thought that an amount of potency is lost in regrowing, but i feel if its a killer strain this is not a real issue, i think regrowers also appear to have at least as many buds if not more than an original plant with 'the thing' phenomenon...in that the plant appears to have denser branching...like branches on branches on branches etc, this hedge consists of 5 plants being NL x romulan & UK cheese x mikado x blueberry...wooden clothes pegs on top of some plants are to ensure recently supercropped plants stay in place

 

[MonkeyGrinder]

Yep done it. It depends on the plant in question if it's faster. I had a girl mainlined that I harvested. I made sure to leave the bottom budsites on each cola.Threw a 2x2 T5 on top of it for 18/6.
It had New growth going in 2 weeks. In 3 it was chugging along perfectly and All the tops were firing out 2,3 and 4 branches per budsite.She was filling out a scrog net shortly after. Mind you that was 1 out of several plants it was attempted on. Just my best result. Others did good. Some I chucked cause they weren't going fast enough. She's a mom now though

Its simple. switch the light cycle to 24 0 or 18 6. Whatever your preference. Be prepared to wait for almost nothing to happen for a while. Growth at the beginning is terribly slow.

I had some bag seed that grew well. i tried to clone it but my cloning skillz are shit. i had to reveg because I really like the weed and had no living clones. i took several clones a month after the light cycle flip. Basically when it started to really grow again. I tried to flower her again but she seems to be dieing. it really looked shitty so i tried to flush her and then she looked super shitty. The soil seems to stay wet for a long time. She might have root rot or be severely root bound. Anyway luckily my second last clone that must be a little over 3 weeks old has started to kick some ass. Strain survived and is now looking forward to a future in dwc where root bounding wont be a issue.

yeah I have to agree with you, I was just trying to see if it would cut time out but like you said I don't think it would be faster doing so, too bad you couldn't put a clone into like a frozen state where it doesn't grow anymore as I'd just like to keep them around vs having them keep growing from veg

That's why you use different pot sizes, leave plants in a small pots and feel it low amount of nutes, the plants should stay happy and healthy for weeks, restricting the root size for a few week, will stunt the growth, wouldn't do it for more than a mouth as it may get root bound
could leave a few small plants under a twin 2ft t5's tubes, works really well, very low running cost and the t5's last for years

I'm doing a revegg now with a money maker plant by strain hunters for spring cloning I know people talk shit about strain hunters but this plant is a beast.
Plant was vegged for 5 weeks and harvested on Jan 12 I left the bottom 15 percent of the plant and its now the 19 of February and I am starting to flower tomorrow this is one of the fastest strains ive ever grown. It showed preflower fast flowerd fast and re vegged fast all in 3 gal pots. My little bonsai lol.wish i had room to veg it a month or 2, but keep in mind every strain is different some just take really long before any new growth, some growers think its a waste of time but i have seeds started the same day i put this plant in veg and its not even comparable this plant will yeild 3 times more than any of the others in the same amount of time.
