regeneration question??

I was just wondering if anyone is familiar with regeneration a friend just harvested about 1 1/2 ago and put the plant back into veg.. hes been looking for new growth signs and hasnt had any yet.. the question is where should he be looking for the new growth and will he still get another main cola or just branches with cluster flowers on them?? will the yeild be only a fraction of what he got on first harvest?? thanks in advance for the help!!

New growth will more than likely start at the main stem...but depending on how badly it was trimmed you may see shoot tip growth also in time. Hard to say without a picture.

You'll probably see only clusters..and they will not be as large as the first go around. It will also take a LONG time to get from now to veg to harvest...probably as much time as starting over with a new round of plants.

good luck

if the soil is super salted this plant will be a waste of energy. cone nex time no reveggin

Yeah dude, it's certainly not worth the effort. I am doing the same, & I have one left that is still semi-alive. To have it work, you need to leave on plenty of leaves at harvest time. having said that, it is not worth the effort, it takes longer to re-veg, than to start all over.
Peace

Yeh but if your desperate to save your baby's genetics and you have no growth tip but some good foliage use a kinetin spray (Bonide Tomato Blossom Set Spray) it can create new branches at where the leafs intersect the branch, even if there isn't and hasn't been a growing tip (or unharvested bud) there before. Worked on mine, thought it might help increase flowering sites... gave me branching all over the place from the leaves, even under HPS in the middle of flowering!

Oh and Kinetin is known for targeting plant growth activity where applied, so the top will start to re-form asap.

Well, plan on a really long vegging time frame, like 2-3 months.

Agreed, best to take cutting before you flower, regenerating blows.

thanks all i will pass on the info!!!

Sorry, but you guys are no help, No-one really answered the question. I will cause currently I have a ww in regenerated after a harvest in Feb. I will tell u what u need to do, and yes it is worth it. I harvested the plant leaving some smaller buds and leaves. I put the plant in NEW dirt, not the same soil/hydro, whatever. Then you'll need to trim the roots, cause its no longer needs a large root mass. After 1 week give the regenerated plant a dose of 20-20-20 ferts and within 1 month it'll totally have new and vigorous growth.
After 3-4 weeks you'll need to repot, and then if satisfied w/new growth u may then do 12/12 again. I am putting my regen back into flowering next week, I let her veg until she is now 18" high and busy.

To each their own, vburton. There isn't much enthusiasm or push to promote from anyone here because many of us know from experience that the 2nd go isn't anywhere near as productive as the first.

If it were, it would be the standard in growing. It isn't..and that speaks loads to the lack of productivity and the incredibly time-consuming aspect of the practice.

The only time I would ever do this is if I failed to *somehow* (unlikely!) take a clone of the plant earlier on or because I lost the "up and comings" to pests or other problems and needed to preserve the strain.

Growing and *knowin* what I'll yield is part of the game here because I use my smoke for pain control. In re-veg, you never know what you'll yield..you only know it won't be as much.

good luck

Correct to each his own. But, if you have a plant that had excellent growth, and was all in all your favorite plant then, by all means reveg. I revegged cause I choose to have a genetics I fell in love with, revegged, and was able to take clones, in which i failed to do so in the first harvest. I don't push, i only advise of my circumstance, and with that would like to share my EXPERIENCE...... It doesn't always have to be about yeilding a large crop, but experiencing different techniques to share w/others. Also, were not talking about standard practice, but personal preference.....
Oh, by the way, the 3 pictures included are all revegg's... Just wanted u to see I know what I talking about from my own experience.... The one
showing by my name is 1 of them in the 5th week of flowering and I have 1 more that needs to go into flowering when these 3 are done. I had a total of 4 revegg's.....

Just wanted to show what my flowering-revegg's looked like in there 4th week of flowering when these pictures were taken, this week makes their 5th week. I like a heady more type of high, not so much of a body stone. So, I'll be pulling these ladies in a staggered harvest startin end of 6th week thru the 8th all indica's so I'll enjoy a combination of head and body w/staggered harvest...

Hey vburton517, my hat goes off to you. You are lucky. I have heard nothing but horror stories from other growers who tried this and came back saying that they wasted there time.

Like you, I was a believer in re-vegging too. I started with 4, I now have one, the other three died. The last one had a battle with heat stress when I mistakenly left her in the grow room, when I introduced co2 to my other babies in there, she couldnt handle the heat. So I am presently treating her with stress relieving seaweed concentrate. However, I do not have high hopes for her at this time. Not to mention, the veg time is usually greatly lenghtened when re-vegging.
Peace

thanks for all the info everyone!! i have passed it on and hes gonna try the kinetin spray (if he can find it) but has considered starting over from scratch!! next time around he will clone!!!! but thanks again for everyones help i love this site have even used some of the other info on my own grow!! thanks again everyone for knowing what ur talkin about!!!

I wanted to share my revegg, She's 6 weeks old. She was harvested in Feb. and I put her back under 24/7 for 6 weeks, and now she returned back to flower for the 2nd time. I took 20 clones during veggin, and they're outside for the summer. She is larger than the 1st harvest by 1 1/2 feet. I first had her in a 10" pot w/2 other plants, and severly stunted growth. This time around I put her in 1 gallon pot for 3 weeks and 3 gallon pot at 4 weeks, and then into flowering on week 6. Let me know what you think! 1st picture is when she was flowering in Feb, w/2 plants w/her. 2nd picture is of her now, heading into flowering at 6 weeks of revegg.... she looks great, mind you she is going to put out one hell of a 2nd harvest.

Omg, my avatar has been jacked.

Update, wanted to show what my newest reveg is looking like in her 2nd week of flowering. She is gigantic, I'm so proud of myself, this the first revegg from a flowered plant, my other revegg's were never flowered but only light starved and not cared for, until I revegged and gave them a new shot a life, but this girl was harvested this past february and did horrible in the yeild. But now it looks like she definetly throw my ass a 1/2 pound easy! Oh, Yeah.... Dried will be atleast 4 ozs.
