Has anyone or does any1 flower ya plants trim the buds and go for a second flower? any advice/tips

i`m no expert in fact know little about growing but even so, i doubt it... otherwise there would be tons of threads about it im sure ..

i actually heard of doing that...from an old friend. just figure out what they need most to recoup. (which nutes and such) then they are on their way. ive heard(if this idea has any truth behind it) to use an autoflowering strain so if youre in canada, like i am, you have time to flower twice...otherwise no ****ing way.

My questin now. if a plant is half torn down, when it finally does come back to health would it be stronger than before?
I had some plants (RIP to a few of them) that were beaten down by hail in august...yea thats right, august. and they were some beefy, half snapped off, mother ****ers when they revived. The reason i ask is if you were to harvest...or greatly harm your plants in other words, they should be even better next time around.

How do I regenerate/rejuvenate/reveg a plant after harvest?


How do I regenerate/rejuvenate/reveg a plant after harvest?


After the buds are harvested, you may realize just how much you want to perpetuate a plant you neglected to take cuttings from. Cut the main stalk down to the point where below several growth tips or buds are remaining. Return the plant to a vegetative fertilizer and photoperiod. Over the next several weeks, the plant will elongate and devlop new upward growth. It is very important not to overwater the plant after it has been cut back. The reduced above ground plant structure is still being fed by the entire existing root system, which can cause an excessive amount of water uptake and the resultant stress associated. The use of products containing ammonium form nitrogen, such as chicken manure or Genesis Formula Grow 2 will encourage rapid growth and stem elongation. Trace element supplemenation, co2 and 24 hour lighting are helpful.

thats what im talking about brotha!!!

yeah, i co-sign with bubba. ive done this several times because i decided i wanted to save the genes after well into flowering and its worked every time. it actually works so well ive recently considered flowering all my plants twice. it seems like they regenerate pretty fast for me.

I tried it, and I had much better luck taking a clone or three from each plant I bloomed for a new generation. That way by the time you cut one, its little replacement/s has been vegging long enough to go straight under the flowering light. For seasonal growers who want several staggered harvests indoors for just part of the year, this is a great method, no worry of keeping mothers small enough to handle, and you can have a tiny little veg space pretty near your fruiting plants.

I do this everytime, because I am developing a strain. I have a few criteria: 1) if the seed was very old and took 2 weeks to germinate, I grow it, I figure this will be helpful for future generations. Hopefully making the strain hardier from germ. 2) I rejuvenate, the smallest plant with the biggest buds, and the plants with the biggest buds, and all early girls(auto flower), especially if they autoflower on 24 hours of light, which I have never seen until weeks ago. Not that I have a whole lot of experience, but I have a lot of friends. 3) Any plant that gets thrashed early on in infancy and actually continues to grow, example: a seedling gets flattened cause I am not paying attention, and instead of shriveling up and dieing it seems frozen with the starter leaves but stays green, then starts growing again. After flowering if they are stoney I will rejuvenate and reflower to pollinate.

PS- OH yes and the stoniest plant always is rejuvenated aswell.

I have heard of revegging, i know that works, dont know if "reflowering" would even make sense

What would be the point in revegging a plant if you did not intend to reflower it? Example: you chop the tops off a plant, put in to veg, then stick it back in your flowering room after some good veg growth. Would that not be "reflowering" a plant. My terminology may not be correct but the idea is sound.
