Hey Peeps, Just Wanted some input on what you think of my re-vegged Afganni. She was My First Time Growing Indoors and her Smoke Was Quite Good So I Decided not to kill her , but to Re-veg her.


This Is What She Looks Like About a week into re-veg.100_0258.jpgShe Suffered Abit of a broken arm While I Was Trying to Do some LST :sad:


This is Her Currently 100_0330.jpg100_0334.jpg100_0335.jpg100_0336.jpg100_0337.jpg100_0338.jpg100_0339.jpg

She looks great in the later pix! As a first time re-grower here's the unheralded benefits of re-growing:
* She will veg about one week faster in the re-veg! Watch and see you will be up to first harvest size in about 7 days less
second time around.
* She will flower about 7-10 days faster while re-flowering! By harvest you have knocked 2+ weeks off your turnaround time.
* Your second yield should be 125-175% of the first harvest! I re-grow a couple strains that regularly return 200+% when
re-grown.

One thing I'd mention -- You will have better luck re-growing if your first harvest leaves the main stem at 50% it's original height.
This cuts down on re-veg time. More importantly, if you had originally trimmed her into more of a Christmas tree shape she will re-grow
much better balanced than she is. Notice how your bud producing area the second time is much wider than the pot. This says you don't
have enough bud sites directly above the stem. If your re-grow looks like the bottom 1/3 of a Christmas tree then that is an inefficient use
of your light. A minor criticism considering the success of the plant. Keep us posted on how your second veg and flower times compare to the first.
If she does not veg and flower quicker I will send you two of my secret clones.

Good luck, BigSteve.

Thanks Mate, Thats Actually some interesting info on the christmas Type Prunning, Tbh It was a Very Last min Choice to re-veg her. But I agree She Has Burst into grow alot Faster then i would have expected, Considering that im Running On Cfls (and Not that much Mayby 8k lumes i think) I plan On Adding more powerful lights But not till Summer is over as its 29degrees(84.2f) Avg indoor temp in my house (30.8degress (87.44f) in the box atm)

I Do Plan on Re-vegging Her After harvest so I Will Try Your Method and Just Trim Off the bud and Prune it into a christmass tree, I also must add i didnt expect her to bush out as much , as before this i had topped and lst'ed Her, Next time ill know not to do that as she didnt need it lol.

Hi and thanks for the thread. I'm going to +rep you. Please could I ask where you got the info specifically on how to re veg. As a 1st time reveg grower yourself. I'm thinking of re vegging my Moby Dick which is going to be harvest fairly soon.

Google lots and lots of google. Since There is alot of Differnt ideas About re-vegging i just had to Try my own.

What I Did was this. I Cut off 2/3'rds of the plant and left at the bottem a nice little Section Off leaves and a few bud sites.
Then I Took the plant out and gave it a nice shake to losen the root's.
I Then Broke off abit off the root ball , mayby half,and i rinsed the roots under cold water
i then got some nice new soil and replanted my little girl and Gave Her a Very Good soaking.
I Then Put her into my box and started her 24 hour light cycle.
After a week i did some LST (thats when she suffered a little brake)
I Only watered her when she feals very light. (She seems to drink all the water in about 2-3 days)
i Left her in a full 24 hour cycle for a month (thats the pic u saw above) and i put her in 12 hours.
Thats it really.

Update Of my girl. Im Thinking about 20 days Later since the last pics where taken. Shes had a few rough days lately as we have had Some of the hottest summer days in a very long time. So I Decided to Swap out the tiny Plastic water holder that held mayby a cup of water, the one that comes with the pot and Replaced it with a bowl that holds alot more water. (mayby a litre or 2. That way she doesn't die of thirst . Plus ive had to open the box up as the temps Can Get over 35c or 95f Before 9am.

Looks great! I have never re vegged a plant but I didn't take cuttings from my critical kush or strawberry cough and I love them.. Great phenos and the critical kush is ridiculously frosty.. Maybe I'll re veg them and just have two plants that are trained so they produce a hell of a lot.. Was going to do 10-12 plants next grow but can't decide what damn strains to run anyways. This would certainly solve that lol. I also have some sweet god girls going but they've given me so much damn problems that I don't even want to deal with the other 5 seeds I have lol. Now I'll lay in bed thinking about this all night and searching info on it.. Keeping the fiancé up and likely switch my mind numerous times till harvest comes around in a few weeks and I have no choice but to decide what I want to do lol.
This is a close up shot if the critical... Seems obvious why I'd want to re veg her I'm sure..

yeah wow, she has some nice dandruff on her lol. My Girl is getting there, her hairs are starting to turn red so hopefully les then a month now. Thinking about after this revegging her agin but this time trying a coc mix. Apperntly the yield is even bigger from that apposed to soil, Have to wait for summer to leave ebfore putting in a hps light , but the cfls are working fine atm.

Thank you! She is a frosty girl for sure and even more so now. I'm thinking my strawberry cough has a little over a week left; I'm thinking a Christmas Day harvest. The critical kush will have about a week and a half to two weeks and so will the sweet god.
I am definitely considering doing a re veg for the critical kush and running a few other strains in the next run. Most likely though I'll just start an entirely fresh new set of girls and re harvest the best ones of those so I can do the next set quickly after that.
I am very excited for the critical kush though, it's by far the frostiest girl in the garden and so I'll give her the longest cure time

I hope she does produce more for you in the second run.
Cfls are great, this is my first time running hps and though I do see thicker buds it isn't a huge difference than with cfls.. Not like every one says it is at least.
