is it possible to reverse the stage of flowering back to vegetation?? I have a Fat Budda plant that I tried to force it to flower trying to determine sex... now with what looks like thin white hairs at the end of each new growth I can only assume that the plant is female... I am sorry, I am a first time grow idiot, and I have already discovered that I have a very long long way to go if I am ever going to figger this out... but..... any help is appreciated... and I don't mind the negative, mean, evil, huh well, not so much the evil, comments... I am just trying to get some info... oh... and I have read, and researched the forums looking for self help... but I have not found any good info on reversing what I have started... Please....

You can switch the lighting schedule back to 18 hours and the plant will reveg. You will get some funky growth. Normally the plants put single bladed leaves out but eventually they get back to normal growth.

thanks for that DST... plain and simple and straightforward... thank you....
before I put it back into the 18/6 lighting schedule, can I cut a lower branch off even with the pistil on the branch end?? I would like to try my hand at cloning even though I have never done it before. just don't know if it should be done at this stage...??

Doing what you want to do is known as “Revegging”. Do as @DST has said to do.

Edit: Replied at same time. You can definitely clone a plant in flower.

i believe some folk have classed cloning from a flowering plant as 'monster cropping'. This is due to the fact that if you take a flowering clone and then clone that in an 18/6 light schedule it will root and also reveg creating very bushy plants.

and as I am going to be re-vegging the "mother" the lighting schedule will be the same...

That stuff from Lowe's will work just make sure the conditions are right for cloning.

okay J.... I will try looking up "right condition" for cloning... just a hint tho... am I looking for moon phase, or planet alignment, or.. oh.. crap I can just check the wifes phase if that's all it is!!

Cloning is fairly easy. You don't have to pay attention to moon cycles or menstruation cycles of your good lady:)...thank the lord.
I get the number of pots i am using and fill them with seed/clone soil which is basically soil with good drainage (little bit of sand and small stones and not overloaded with nutrients.
the filled pot gets put onto a tray filled with water. This enables the pot to soak up the water (fool proof way of not overwatering the pot). When you see damp on the top of the pot it has enough water.
I then snip the clone from the plant, dip in rooting powder and then into the pot and under a propogator. Then just lift the lid once a day and in 10 to 14 days you will have roots. Good luck.

Well, that is very encouraging DST.... Tell me, just how deep to you repot the clone... I assumed from the direction written on the hormone jar that it must not be very deep because it says to wet the tip and apply the powder to the plant and stick it in medium..... nuthin about one inch, half inch, three inches... I would guess just enough to stand up right on its own?? thanks

Depends on the size of the clone, but like you said...enough to be able to stand up (1 to 2"). I don't bother wetting the tip either. Once you snip the clone the tip will already have enough moisture to get the rooting powder it needs to adhere to it.

I have been searching everywhere looking to find an answer to a question regarding the lighting requirements of a new "clone".... fearing reprisal for asking I searched everywhere and one thing I learned FOR SURE.... there are as many answers to the question as there are questions to the answers.. oh my God why is there so much controversy over what seems a simple, easy question.... well... I guess it ain't so simple, and or easy.... but with the mother in the veg light 18/6 I am gonna stick with that.... it ain't that I know the right answer, it's just that this answer isn't any worse than some of the others I have seen....
Jus Sayin.. Peace Out..

Next grow, if you're trying to determine sex, wrap a branch with light proof cloth, paper, whatever and see that that one branch gets 12 hrs of light. It will show sex soon enough without the entire plant going into flower.
