I got a whole bunch of plants currently revegging, am I correct in that when a plant re vegges it starts by shooting out single blade leaves then as they fully enter the vegetative state aging fully developed leaves begin to appear again.

My plants shoot singles then triples when re-vegging. The same leaves then develop into 5-7 fingered leaves as the hormones re-balance.
I only re-veg if I have to, because it looks messy and takes forever to turn around.

On the other hand its a shame to waste an established root mass IMO. Has anyone here tried grafting cuttings onto mature rootstock? Supposedly it's also good to use males as they usually grow faster and larger.

Revegging was a necessity they started flowering at 10" tall and the strain is meant to grow to 2 metres and judging by the fact that they were bushy as hel after a months and being topped twice I'd beleive it, plus I was looking at about 1/2 an O of a foot tall plant after 4 weeks of flower so an O by the time they finished which is far to great a prospect to pass up If i can grow them to their full potential.

As for grafting I haven't read much on it, I know it's not that difficult as long as you maintain clenliness and the right temps, I recall a grower using a giant root stock to have a single mother of i beleive 5 of his favorites strains all grafted to one plant, that is the epitome of grafting to me.

anyone ever get seeds fron gypsy nirvana?
several time 72hours from order to my door.

Seedsman and dope-seeds are also good and between them all you'll get any genetics you could want I have only heard good things about planet skunk but he is pricey as hell.

Hey guys, quick question for any outdoor growers (sorry in advance if it's a totally stupid/newb question, first grow here)... I've got some Guerilla plots in WA. Things are going well so far, the weather is picking up too; starting to get into the 30's at the moment so the plants are vegging nicely. At this rate heading into summer I assume they're going to end up monsters... Is there any hormonal effect regarding the age of the plants to help induce flowering, or is it strictly the light cycle/weather? Not that I can really complain about some huge plants heh, but a few more months of growth is going to be epic. Judging from the last seasons weather reports (Beuro Of Meteorology) in about 5 months time we'll still be around the same temps and maybe 1/2 an hour less sun than what they're getting at the moment. I'm assuming it'll work it's self out, but any experienced input would be appreciated.

They'll begin flowering around march as the daylight hours drop just under 13 usually, but thats on the east coast I assume it would be about the same for you guys, I've seen your grow and I got some plants of similar size going and am hoping for a couple of 2-3 metre monsters.

Cheers man. I guess I've got plenty of time to organise a few other things... Do you know if heat stress is of any issue outdoors? I mean; at an extreme like 3 days in a row hitting 40C+.

When you look at some of the countries that the plant is native to (Afghanistan for instance) once they are established with good inground root systems, I doubt that they will suffer any long term heat stress damage - maybe a little wilting and leaf burn, but they should be fine.

sweaty as hell got 1 1/2 of my holes filled with dirt hauling 10 20-25kg bags 500 metres kills my fat ass, not to mention I miscalculated and need to haul 2 more bags over tomorrow at least to finish my second hole and another three for my third and final hole whose plant has yet to reveg. Then I get to spend a week studying finish my uni exams and I have 4 1/2 months free to plot out several other grows and prep a few area's for some winter grows and a big plot for next summers crop.
