brainstorm regeneration, whats your opinion

hi green cross, well thats real interesting and i guess it makes sense. doubt it would become common practice though, i know i certainly wouldnt seed a regen. thanx for the input and i shall let you know if i think the quality is down.
 
it may reduce yield in some species, can be done with out to many problems, best to re veg for a mother

Madazz:weed:
 
reveg and genetics is an interesting topic, but would be skeptical of implicating genetic issues based on Cervantes
Cervantes is a good read and the man certainly was not ignorant, but there is no way he could ascribe a reduction of plant vigor from reveg due to genetics.
How would you test for that, some detailed genetic analysis? Show such an analysis from actual tests. He noted a loss in vigor in some reveg situations. That I can believe. But is that loss of vigor due to genetics or other issues?
I have also seen a few reveg experiences where the grower say increased vigor in revegged mothers.
 
I was just reading up on this
Indoor Marijuana Horticulture
By Jorge Cervantes

"Mother plants must have 18 hrs a day to retain a strong and accurate set of genetics. Each time a mother is forced from vegetative growth into flowering, and back to vegetative growth her genetic integrity diminishes..."

"Mothers that are forced to flower and then revert back to vegetative growth, not only yield less, they are stressed and confused."

Now what if this practice of revegging, becomes common place, and the degraded genetics are then used to create seed? The entire gene pool is polluted. :wall:

there are alot of people on this site that would disagree with you (edit: Jorge) ... although i have yet to reveg ever, i will be shortly
 
so far so good, new growth getting quicker, still at the odd shaped leaves stage, will post more pics in next few days. can i also just say what a great smoke brainstorm has been, heavy shit.
 
hi ghopzz, yeah dutch passion fem seeds, yellow leaves at start but a little neat nitrogen solved the problem. had a balloon off my volcano at 2.57 now 3.03 and nice light buzz, tingles in head and neck, now staring to get heavier but still clear. when i have more it just scrambles my head and gets pretty heavy. lovely red hairs and by the way i chopped at 5-6 weeks. grown mostly under 2 x 70 watt hps and 1 blue 250 enviro. not to much and its a clear , strong, almost trippy not mongy stone. lasted me much better than the stuff i buy.
 
we had a dry period of bout 2 weeks and no way im going without a smoke, i always figure if it smokes good then it doesnt matter, you lose some weight but ive already got more going and just chopped last of brainstorm in flower at 7 weeks.you also tend to get a more buzzy stone if chopped early.
 
oh yeah 1 non viable seed, i think lots of fem plants herm slightly towards the end of flowering but not enough to have an effect.
 
:blsmoke:todays pic of regen brainstorm, new leaves have started.bongsmilie

on about the 2nd of september it was just left around the house, was going to bin it and then i began 24 hour light on the 14 september because i decided to regen it. i repotted it and gave 1 dose of nitrogen by roots and then low dose mg each day via leaves.its mainly under a 70 watt hps but i also got a 250 enviro in same cupboard
 
you got to do LST.
i love the reveg, so many bud sites.
right now i got two in a grow off, the winner will be revegged.
yeehoo! that thing looks healthy.
 
pics from today, still just misting with very low mg.bongsmilie
