I should also add a pic of lucky number 7. I'm looking at about 14 hours of sunlight right now, so this could get interesting. All she's getting is the run-off from the feeding of the others. If she takes off I may actually toss some top feed around her. I have had temps in the 90's, but she is shaded by a tree limb during the worst part of the day. My soil is mostly hardwood compost from whatever falls off oaks and hickories. "Mountain Forest" soil 
Ocean Forest can kiss my ass LOL.
I think this speaks to the added vigor you can expect from a re-vegged plant.
Funny thing is, because of where I live I can't really mess with it much. I just bought my house last year, so I can always claim ignorance. I have no idea what the previous owners did...

I had one looked just like that, cant kill them she bounced back and now shes a beaut, she had a few weeks of outdoor veg tho.I should also add a pic of lucky number 7.

I wanna monster crop, my first attempt was unsuccessful, I actually did notice some white bumps on one outta 6 cuttings after 4 weeks, but I got tired of waiting and threw em out, I wanna try again when I can afford to wait.

looks its working good for you!
can confirm the vigor.
at least they give a nice structure, good base for training.
Day 22 of flower

As far as I know she'll be in veg for another month or two until the daylight shortens.
I never plan to be an outdoor grower. Way too many variables you can't control - temps, rH, bugs, bud-rot, etc. At least if stuff goes sideways inside I know it's my fault.

Can't complain.
The little one has about 4 sprouts on top all with little true-leaves. I see an explosion in the near future when she recovers from having 4 arms chopped off
I was looking at more height-training that I could do, but in the grand scheme of things (since they are flipped) I think the canopy is level-enough. So - tops are done - next will just be pulling stuff sideways to fill in holes.
I get bored easily, so this might be the last time they are all together except for a pic. I have a second flower room that they will all end up in eventually, so I am going to try to fit the 2 smaller ones in now.

First things first - Watch for this and prune them throughout the grow.
Its easy now, but if you get bushy they are hard to see later on. These will continue to pop throughout the grow. First attempt I had half a dozen of them that were nothing but larf - nute-suckers... never saw them.
But since I am eventually shifting them you get to see my other two get done.
Room 1 (back to veg room eventually)
And room 2. Need to get something to prop those up higher, but the plant on the left (Skywalker OG) only has a week or two left and I'll squeeze more in, maybe all 6. The Bruce Banner on the left has a month or so.

Fuck does it ever look like a little Bush just waiting to explode

Did that come from a topping? Looks really uniform for a clone, but cool. If it is, I have thought about doing that every time I topped a manifold. Never did.

Well, My job here is done. I think I have documented it pretty well, but now I'm just growing weeds. Nothing is different.
I'll drop an update on here every few weeks for progress (if I remember), but it'll be on my grow page. My intent was to have this just about monster-cropping.
If the one I dumped outside takes off I'll toss that in too.

Yep, it’s the top off a plant, it exploded with growth after it got some roots going, I’m thinking it’ll turn out to be a real bush.
I’d like to see how your plants are doing, it’d be great if ya kept posting them here.

Yeah, I have so many seeds to run (considering I drop a few at a time) that I am done with cloning for a while. I have wanted to see if a manifold-topping (usually 6-7 nodes tall but chopped about node 3) would re-start, then be ready for another manifold after it rooted. Clones don't usually do manifolds well because they have no symmetry. My flowers above are trained and pruned 'like' a manifold, but they will never develop that big knuckle of a nute-distribution-system that a manifold does. Then again, clones don't have that apical dominance (big center cola, small everything else) that a seed does so that's probably a wash.
I would rather this be like the 300+ page thread about manifolds, where everyone contributes their little piece. I added a few pages to that thread just to add my 2 cents and brag a little, but then back to my page. I'm old - too much to keep up with
Like I said, I'll toss an update pic on here occasionally, but my signature block has both links, and I update my grow page almost daily.
