Reversing From Flowering To Growing Phase

I have three pollinated girls that are full of seeds (they’re in seventh week of flowering). My wish is to harvest the seeds and then to return the girls back to growing stage so that they could be pollinated again. But I’m not sure how to do it? Anyone knows more about? Thanks in advance.

to be honest unless you have months of time to wait for the plant to re-veg IF it does it at all i would just use the seeds. The problem is, your plant is so far into flowering its nearing the end of its lifecycle. Now I am not saying it cant be done because it can but it will be A LOT of time invested in re-veg...

It can be done, just leave some some leaves and some of the lower buds on your plant and put it back under an 18/6 or more light cycle. But, if you have seeds there is no reason to re-vegg a plant. It takes about a month or longer for anything to happen and then you would still need to let it go a little longer to be able to flower it again.
The only good reason to re-vegg a plant is if you really like the genetics and want to keep them around, but you have seeds, so that isn't an issue.
If you have extra space in your vegg area you can do it just for kicks, a re-vegged plant looks crazy when it starts growing again, there are branches everywhere.
 
Re-vegging works well, try a boost time for 24 hours for a week then go back to 18-20. It won't take a month at all that and all your roots are already there. I always have done it and it reduces harvest by a bit. Depending on system and medium used, make sure you flush well to lower the medium nasties. I only re-juv once or twice as it's a risk after that with salt build up.
