Hi guys I took some cuts of my plants just as they was starting to show there flowers. They have been in veg now for about 7 weeks but still have funny flowers growing on them I thought they might of stopped growing these now and gone back into veg, they have been pretty neglected and have just been keeping them alive till there ready to go into my grow room to be honest is there anything else I need to do to get them back into veg ?
Thanks in advance if you can help

I got some cuts from a flowering plant and they also took a while to go back into proper veg. Once they were rooted they were under 18/6 250w cfl for 2 weeks before going under a 600w hps, they had leaf mutations for around 3-4 weeks maybe longer but still grew as they were intended to. What is the lighting schedule maybe a 20-4 or a full 24 hour would put them back into veg, but I'm still brand new to this as its first grow so hopefully someone with more experience can help you

At this point pinch any flower remaining.

I have some TINY plants (still in the germinating pots) that have started flowering. They are photo ( as in NOT autoflower!), and this is the second year in a row this has happened. Last year when it happened, out of 25 plants, I ended up tossing 4 plants that weren’t going anywhere; 2 only grew about 2 ft tall; 2 grew like regular plants YEA!;, and the rest had the one-spiked leaves on a lot of the plant, growing from about 3ft high to maybe 6 at the highest, with many shorter. It was NOT a good year, to say the least.

So, I went with the explanation (see thread under me about it, if you want) that the date I planted them (mid-March; I’m in south-central Texas; was too early, making the dark hours too long……and they started flowering too early.

well, I’ve been growing for a long time. Consecutively now since 2017, and this is the first time it happened. But, I took that explanation as the best one, and planted later this year…

Well……yesterday I went out to water and…..they are flowering again. I transplanted to large pots today. They were germinated April 2nd & planted the 6th, so they’re at 8 weeks to the day, and about 9-12” tall. I waited as they fit into a dog crate that we had protected from animals and storms while they were small enough to fit in it :p. Spring storms have hail around here, and one large piece of hail would kill a small plant. …so, I waited until now.

So, if anyone reading this knows why they flowered so early, I’m listening.

but, in my original reason for this.

Does pinching the new flowers really, truly cause them to reveg?

Pinch flowers off. Yes. It promotes the vegging hormone required. And your flowering From not enough daylight hours. It happened every year I plant before Mother’s Day. Is what it is. I use outside when my space needs to open up. Everything is vegging now. Fully. I’m in SoCal so not far from your geography. I flower march to June.

They probably seem neglected to you because you can't get them to grow. I take all my cuts of flowering plants. They dont like to root fast, then take forever to start single leafs and get going. But they take off after that like crazy, i think its worth it. Its like every branching site wants to grow a whole plant. What do you have them in? Once you know the clone is drinking water after like a day you can start giving it like ½ strength veg feeds. Just wait it out

I'll try it on 2 side by side pinched and unpinched? Thanks for the research

I don't pinch anything off when revegging plants or flowering clones. You're pinching away future growth.

I do this every year. I pick my branches as It re veg. Other wise you end up with a mess. It’s primarily for training. I’ll never ever just let my plant veg out from flower. Holy moly that was a nightmare trimming

But if you wanna monster with branches everywhere. Don’t touch it

I guess it's going to depend on what you're revegging for. I don't usually do it except to get a couple clones from something I realized was extremely nice. I rarely do that but the more branches the more choices for clones. I don't normally reveg to flower the plant out although I have done it.

I take clones from flower mainly because of space constraints, and I don't mind the monster part at all.

It would depend what age they're taken at and how much bud growth there is on the clone?

If I wanted them quicker they get to a certain point then I'd clear off the remains of flower to speed up the vegging process, idk why it speeds it up my thoughts are they're full of flowering hormone but idk, regardless of the science clearing off the bud remainants speeds up re vegging.

Not pinched out.
