help with regenerating plants

I've been dealing with light poisoning quite a bit.

It ain't how much light but when, and how long.

You mentioned the lower bud sites were revegging, and a sliver of light along the floor.

That is more than enough to screw up flowering.

wow really?? well, its all completely sealed up now, so hopefully the yield this time around should be amazing. i still have a hard time understanding why it is still such high quality but low yield, if this is the actual reason why, then im going to be one happy patient.

by light poison do you mean light leaks?

as for the dehumidifiehonestly i have no idea if it will be enough, but my guess is probally not. still worth a shot though imo, get 2 and if it doesnt work out keep the reciepts and take em back and try to find some bigger ones.

Yes, light leaks.

my grow room is outside, so the sliver of light was also not just some incandecent light bulb, its directly from the sun, so this light poisoning makes sense cuz of the amount of energy coming through. 100000000 watts of sun compared to 100 watts of cfl bulb. lol

In some parts of the country, indoor grows REQUIRE dehumidifiers to be successful.

Humboldt County is one such place. I've seen many rooms there, and all have dehumidifiers.

They come in various sizes, so get what is appropriate. If you use one for drying, your buds will dry far more quickly, but be aware that drying too quickly will inhibit curing. Better to remove some moisure, and then let the buds hang for a few days(to allow the breakdown of chlorophyll) before finishing the process.

A lot of air movement(fans) will help avoid moisture accumulation, as well.

Exactly!

Here are a pic or two of buds affected from a neighbor's 60 watt porch light, through budding. It is about 40 feet away, and affected only buds more than six feet off the ground.

About half of this plant(about a pound) received light from my neighbors. The pix show how the buds ended up very fluffy.

Good smoke(Neville's Haze), but the buds have a lot of stem.
