this plant right here is amazing and I want to kick myself for not cloning it...im about to harvest in about 5 days...

I want to re-veg so....do i just cut the main cola and some of the upper branches...leaving the lower 1/3...then water the plant with 1/4 strength veg nutes and throw back under 24/0...also re-pot?? does that sound about right?

also what are the chances that it will revert back? i really want to keep this one..

Years ago I was in the same predicament as you're in now. I cut all the buds off the plant and left as many branches, leaves, and nodes as I could. Then I repotted with fresh soil, watered, put in on a 18/6 cycle and waited. 2 weeks later I had new shoots growing and within another month, it was a monster! I didn't feed it though until it started to grow again, as there are usually enough nutes in the soil from the previous grow to get things going, also, you don't want to risk toxifying the soil. If you're successfull, you'll notice that the new growth will be vigorous and she'll grow into a monster because you already have a well developed root system to pull the water and nutes.

Good luck to you.

Leave as many small leaves as you can. I actually leave some of the smaller buds (not bigger than a dime), which, when they revert back to veg, grow several (sometimes more than 5) branches which are then perfect for cloning. If you stress your plants before harvest (dry, or no nutrients), you should make sure you water and feed them at least some weak nutrients... and I just noticed that the date was a few months ago.. how did it turn out?

I forgot to mention in my last post.... I do some things a little strangely. One of those things is this .. before I switch the lights back to 24 on, I turn them OFF COMPLETELY for 3 days. (I can just hear the gasps now.. ) I may be crazy, but it has never failed. Here is my logic - during the dark period plants use their root structure to re-build the leaves and stems, and of course, during the day, the plants use the leaves to feed the roots. SO.. if I let them stay in darkness, the roots will make the existing leaves and stalks stronger. Then when I switch the lights on, they start growing almost immediately in veg state..
