Revegging Questions

So around mid-March, I picked up a Super Silver Haze clone from my local dispensary. Because I moved it from indoors to outdoors so early in the season, the plant decided to flower early. I feel that lately the plant has begun to attempt to re-veg. Normally i would view this as a good thing, but now there are already a lot of buds on the plant. Also, I have been giving it FF Tiger Bloom (high in phosphorus) relatively lately, assuming that it would not reveg. Since it is reverting back to veg, what will happen to the buds already on the plant? Also, should I start fertilizing it with FF Grow Big again which has a high nitrogen content?

Hopefully this made sense. I've been struggling with clones flowering too early all season. I do have a few from seed that are doing wonderfully though ;-)

Thanks for any input!

Normally I get pretty quick, helpful responses. I could really use some of those right now. I'm not quite sure what actions to take with this plant. I want my SSH to grow larger, but I want to know what will happen to the buds that have/are already formed(ing). Any insight would be wonderful, I just want to be the best grower I can be. Fill my head with knowledge :dunce:

Well you don't want it to start to "Reveg" because your flowering cycle had already bugun. Try to keep the lighting to a 12 on 12 off ratio to keep the flowering going.
P.s nice plant haha

we're in the same boat. my plants were set out too early this season and are all flowering. i dont know what will happen to the buds if they will ever mature to be smokable. i guess we'll just find out and wait to see...either way early bud or reveg are the options and they don't sound bad to me.

I suppose I could place it in an area that receives less light such as under a tree or somewhere with lots of shadows. Would that help it continue its flower cycle even though the days are still getting longer? The plant is big enough, I would expect an ounce or two dry weight if it continues to flower. Does anyone else have any other predictions of how much it will yield?

Last year I didn't have much luck revegging. I made an attempt on a White Rhino strain, but it grew into a really bad hermi almost immediately.

I'm hoping this year won't be a repeat. This season I'm growing DNAFem Blue Hash. She was transplanted outside on April 20th after a month of vegging indoors. The smell is great and just look at her... looks healthy to me. :)

I'm still worried that if she doesn't finish soon, she could hermi just like last years crop. I've only got a year of experience under my belt, so I'm still learning like the rest of ya.

I would suggest taking a cutting with no bud sites yet to clone now and re veggin that and continue to keep this big one at 12/12

I would take clones but as you can see, there are not many places to take cuttings off of; it's just one large cola with a few, already budding branches near the bottom.

I guess I am most afraid of it hermie-ing and 'infecting' the rest of my girls. I'll move it into an area that receives less sunlight throughout the day. Will more shade help to facilitate the flowering process or does it need to be in pitch black, nightlike conditions?
Also, any predictions as to how much it will yield?

It should shoot out new branches where the buds were... in theory.
It is doing just that actually. What does this mean in the long run?
Also, what are the actual chances of it turning hermie on me if I let it attempt to reveg?

Sorry for all the questions guys, I just keep thinking of new things to ask

If you are seeing green leaves appearing at the ends of the buds, and a bit of stretching, it's done flowering.

Cut the terminal bud off of each branch and you'll get a bit of smoke.

Hazes reveg easily in my experience.

Her potential in the fall will be limitless.

SSH is a great strain.

Read up on photoperiods.

Outdoors in the U.S. its best to have your Spring crop finish by April 15th. Even then, some strains will show signs of revegging.

But the buds that are there are barely buds at all, they're not even close to being ripe, the hairs are still completely white and there is hardly any bud mass. Are you advocating that I go ahead and cut off all the buds anyway and wait for the plant to reveg and flower again for my real harvest? So much stress can't be good for the plant...

Carefully cut out the crystally buds only, you can still dry and smoke them or do as you choose. Make sure to leave plenty of fan leafs and not harm there new growth.
If she has a strong root system she will come back to veg as you slowly start feeding her nitrogen she will fully recover and flower again next 12/12 photoperiod.
The plant will revert back to veg no matter what unless you force flower by covering it. By cutting the plants old buds it speeds up the reveg. good luck

So a budded plants can revegg right? In the sense that it will show up more green new leafs.

A fully budded ready to harvest plant can not be revegged(at least its really hard)
Only if the buds are relatively premature and the plant is showing signs of revegging.(new green leafs)

ok well great then :] problem solved, ill snip off the buds, feed her nitrogen and hope for the best. From what I've heard, SSH is a very hardy plant and can deal with a lot of our n00b shit. If anything, she'll be my 'experiment' plant; I have other beauties that are doing just fine ;]
Ah man, I've always wanted to start a grow journal but by the time I get my lazy ass around to it, my plants are halfway through veg :P
Profits, if any, from this grow are going towards a nice grow tent setup. Then I'll for sure do a journal. Although outdoor will always be my favorite!
I'm slowly making my way there and gaining experience on the way! Thanks for everyone's help, I'm sure I will have plenty more questions before my grow is through.

Damn I'm rambling. Finals tomorrow, attempted all nighter, RIU keeps me sane... not to mention the P91 I picked up from my local dispensary, its FIRE!

There are a bunch of pix in my grow show giving examples of how to cut a budded plant back.

Cutting the larger buds off will encourage new growth in the remaining bud sites.
