Will this harvested plant reveg?

Skunk Baxter said:

Maybe I'm misinterpreting the photos, but it does look to me like one of those leaf structures has two nodes on it - very close together, but it does look like it might be two nodes. Although I'm not as sure of that as I was the first time I looked. If it's got two nodes, it's a branch, and it should reveg. But it is just a single leaf, then yeah, it may not work.

Yeah I saw that later and edited my post. I thought it was just a leaf at first but may be a deformed shoot.

why waste the time and energy. Get some new plants going

That shit is going to grow like the toxic avenger blew a load on it, "If there is something worth doing, it's worth doing it right" HST. Don't be lazy and restart your crop with fresh seedlings!

BobCajun said:

Only problem is; there are no buds of any kind on there. Where do you think a shoot is going to grow from, a leaf? Doesn't actually work that way. The plant will stay alive, until the leaves eventually die naturally, just will never grow a shoot.

Actually it looks like a leaf growing from where a shoot should be. Maybe it just looks like a leaf but has a tiny growing tip on it somewhere. If so then it could regen.

The new growth will come from that shoot that he has, that's plenty to reveg..I've been revegging a lot the last couple years..I've become a huge fan, every plant that I reveg is a huge bush, growth shoots in all directions.

Here is the plant today, as you can see there is no new vegetation. It was transplanted to 3 gal and watered just before the pics. Yes or no?View attachment 3655623 View attachment 3655626

good to seal off the open wounds & sawn off stems from bleeding & infections with horticultural bitumen in a spray can

I like to keep nugs for revegging, they send out singlets (often mutated in one way or another) and eventually grow out of retardedness and become full vegging girls. The only plants I had trouble were SFV, and she just took forever because we took her to 60+ and then revegged, and a banana OG, and that thing just threw massive pre flowers that it never went full on veg again.

Leave more plant next time... and it is worth revegging imo if it's genetics you don't want to lose or would otherwise have a hard time finding again.

i dunno if a plant that revegs is as good as a plant just grown out from seed or clone? just grew out a heap of revegs this past season outdoors, originally plants were growing great in reveg, then appeared to be budding well but as the flowering progressed the buds seemed to not form properly and were smaller & more airey?, resin count appeared to be down also? it may have been my fault too though i did everything as per normal...im not interested in doing revegs again after this episode

I revegged a few plants, the one that took the longest was a Sativa Chocolope, it's on the second re veg. Just start the veg nutes and return the light cycle back to veg and be patient, could be a while or not.

Good Luck

Revegged plants often grow with deformities such as 3 partitioned leaves and stringy flowers. It is more cost and quality efficient to grow a new set of seedlings/ clones. Essentially what you are doing is creating some sort of mutant zombie weed that is inferior genetically

You're not altering the genetics at all; the plant just expresses the genetics differently than it ordinarily would if it's under a great deal of stress - and yanking a flowering plant that was ready to die right out of a 12/12 light cycle and slamming it into 20/4 and forcing it to go back to veg is extremely stressful to the plant.

What you're seeing with the single-leaf structures and weird, whorled leaves is not a genetic aberration, but hormones. The plant is confused, and doesn't know whether it's supposed to be flowering or vegging. It's still producing a full load of flowering hormones, and now suddenly the light is all wrong for flowering and it automatically starts producing vegetation hormones in response to the light cycle. So yeah, it definitely looks like a mutant, because it's basically trying to be two different plants at the same time, and doesn't know what to do.

You just have to give it plenty of time. If you let it go solidly back to veg stage before putting it back into flower, it should be fine, and give you the same nice, dense buds as it did on the first harvest. I think most of the problems people have with revegged plants stems from not giving them enough time to go fully back to veg before putting them under 12/12 again. I always wait until I'm seeing 5-leaf sets, although some may feel that's being unnecessarily anal. I just believe in taking a little extra time to do things right the first time.

I have some clones flowering now that I cut from plants in the first week of bloom over 3 months ago, and it was just 2 or maybe 3 weeks ago that they were finally revegged enough (IMO) to put back into bloom. And even then, boy - did they snap back into flower fast! I only had them under 12/12 for 3 or 4 days before they were already in flower. I barely had time to cut clones before they were already sprouting white pistils all over the place. Even though they were fully vegged, part of them still apparently thought they were supposed to be in flower, and couldn't wait to get back to it.

It could be either one, I really can't tell for sure anymore. The one I'm looking at is on the far side of the plant in the photos, and we really don't have a very clear view. When I first posted in this thread, I was pretty sure it was a small branch, but now that I look at it again I couldn't swear to it. I guess the proof will be in whether it grows out or not!

Thank you for this well thought out post.

Just to ad to the reasons some growers re veg, like Skunk Baxter was referring to the plant switching from veg to flower and the Pheno expressions that result are mostly Hormonal / Chemical processes that are normal in Balance.

Another to remember is the maturity of the plant, a mature plant is fully developed and therefore is more prepared to flower than a immature plant. Some people find that a clone taken from a more mature mother that has been re vegged COMPLETELY and has gotten a good dose of sun or COMPLETE spectrum of life will out perform a plant grown from seed and forced to flower asap.

Take what you want from this, some just want smoke, others just want the best smoke, I belong to the later group of individuals.

The people saying reveg is a waste of time must have never tried it maybe
I always reveg when I find keepers
Grow out one or two packs and reveg the best one
Even if the plant I reveg (which is then my new mother) doesn't respond the best... The clones will be just like the original mother if the cutting is taken after leaves go back to normal some people like to reveg and harvest twice on the same plants and sometimes the bud can come out sub par on those but if u mother it out after it goes to regular fan leaves ur golden
I've tried it on many different strains
Worked on all of them and took different times on all from a few weeks when plants were flipped only to sex
To a few months on plants that have gone thru 2 70 day flowering periods already
It would prolly be easier to go buy clones or grab some from a friend but not everyone can do that
Seeds can be expensive and are kinda hard to get for some people
If you find something special from seed it can not be duplicated sometimes even if u buy the same seeds from same breeder
Maybe ur cloner went out and u lost all ur clones of ur keeper for next round
Even breeders lose parent plants every now and then
Reveg is a great way to keep a particular variety in ur garden especially as a back up plan/last resort
sometimes u just find something special
And need to reveg

how much money do you spend on seeds in a year.

Around 50. I know a farmer in northern cali

I buy seeds all the time but I also make seeds from those plants, and have revegged a few keepers.

What has been your best cross strain?[

I try to avoid crosses unless they are IBL's or Landrace, typically I will inbreed to find the pheno I like in the first generation of siblings and if I can then I like to feminize that keeper and do a write up on it for a futuree grow.

My fave Sativa Thus far is Delahaze, on the indica it would be good old Afghanica.

25 days mark....ding ding dingg

any update?

You are s

u are suppose to leave some buds at bottom. The new plant will grow out of the buds
