Resurrecting a harvested plant for clones....

Greetings guys, I'm sure this has been covered before but I just cannot find it.

Looking for anybody that has experience with putting a harvested plant in the vegetating room for purposes of salvaging clones off it.

How did that come out?

If an outdoor plant is in a pot, you could take it inside and reveg under a light but before mid September or early flowering. If you can bring it back to life, it wasn't really ripe. I do it to preserve an important strain but I don't harvest off it then. As it starts to veg, I might pick some off but in general that weed will be premature. Gotta take clones from young healthy plants pretty much to have fast growth.

You can reveg as long as you didn't harvest the plant clean. After a couple weeks, it will show growth. Growth might look strange at first, but will straighten out.
Veg as normal and take clones.

I would repot into fresh soil, and then just follow protocol. Veg until you can knock some healthy clones of it.

If I had to guess... I would say it will take anywhere from 1-2 months.


Keep us posted ;)

Thanks for all the excellent replies guys, one more thing I wanted to ask.
I was considering using an outdoor plant for indoor clones. Would that be violating sanitary security for an indoor grow op?

Taking plant from outdoor to indoor is a potential major vector for pests. The only way I'll take clones from outdoors inside is if I can dunk them in Avid or Flouramite or some other nasty toxic stuff. You can't do that with a full plant.

Revegging a harvested plant is totally doable, and I've done it. It takes a while, and obviously you can't pick the plant clean, but it works. I've read that it can cause/promote potential genetic drift/mutations, which means it's somthing you don't want to do routinely, but I've never had any adverse results because of this -- probably cuz i've only done it a couple of times.

Leave some growth at the bottom of the plant basically just chop all the main shoots leave the popcorn shit... Sure it's possible

interesting feedback on this.

wouldnt topping a few inches above the poppycorn branches give the popcorn bud braches more motivation to grow back since that way the energy wouldnt be sent back up to the top where the already harvested main cola an other higher buds would of been if it wasnt harvested? or am i just thinking to far left fo the milky way?
