Revegging? Same as before or not as good?

Hi, who here reveges plants regularly, or has revegged before and been happy with the result?

Reason im asking is , my last plant i really liked and tried revegging it ...it worked , and i got cuts off it and they looked good , but i decided to flower out the original revegged plant and keep the clones and it turned out trash in the end ,

It never regained the full 9 finger leafs, it hermied, the bud ended up all stemmy and larfy , hardly any thc... through the entire batch including the clones away...

Now im at a quandary.

Im growing c99 again and out of a 4 pack i selected one for having beautiful smelling stems as a seedling and it has turned into the prized pineapple pheno, just crazy smells of pineapple juice and haze. Flowering and growing like a dream. Its a 100 percent need to keep ..

But i couldnt get any cutting i took before it went full flower mode to root..they all died.

So im thinking about revegging..again but i have to wonder based on my last attempt,
is it sort of a grower myth type thing , or are people exaggerating their success and in reality the plants are never the same in quality...

On a couple of occasions I have had to take cuttings from flowering plants. Yes, I was happy with the final cured product.

Some of my experiences with monster cropping:

• Rooting takes longer than with veg plants.
• When re-veg starts, the first few leaves will show as an elongated single finger leaf - totally normal. The fatter multi-pronged weed leaves will show up eventually
• They will grow like normal veg plants.
• Monster cropped plants can become overcrowded with branches. Be prepared to clean-up some of those excessive branches. Each time I monster cropped, the ladies required a pretty substantial clean-up to keep them manageable.
• Usual training techniques work - manifolding, topping, FIM ... whatever floats your boat.
• The bud size, potency and flavor are identical.
• Assuming a good cloning environment, cuttings taken from a monster cropped plant will clone.

Well revegging does work out just fine. At least it has for me. I just harvested a plant in October that had been first harvested in late May. And the bud is fantastic.
Perhaps your plant that didn't turn out got sick somehow.
As has been stated, you could also try cloning your current plant again. I've had good luck cloning late in flower. It has seemed to have been most successful when I used suckers from the interior that had little or no flowers on them.
Good luck friend!
