Regenerate fems into Veg after Flower

I am looking for a good method to harvest and then regenerate my plants into veg using 24 hour lighting so that the root system and everything is more developed. Is this method better than cloning and keeping a mother plant until I can put it in the flower room?

if it were better you would probably have everyone doing it.

From what I've read, and what I plan to do is to harvest approximately the top 2/3 of bud and leaf. This will leave about 1/3 of the lower branches and those, for me, will have very little bud. The plant doesn't tolerate complete defoliation, it needs some leaves to support its own regeneration. They can grow back weirdly.

one mans opinion and experiance when you revert from flower back to veg it takes about a month and a half and freaks the hell out of the plant also be weary of any clones you take from the revert if you plan on doing that hope this is some help although not exactly what you were asking about

Really? The clones may be borked? A lot of the pix I've seen of re-vegged gals show some funky growth, for sure. But part of my own dilemma has been do I clone the clones, or re-veg the mom?

Re-vegged plenty over the years. Works fine about twice, then the plant will not generally produce very well. Never had any negative clone issues when taken from re-vegs, but probably wouldn't bother taking off the third effort (2nd re-veg) just because.
You can take all but all off and the plant will regenerate given the right environment.

You can completely defoliate it?

Basically a single node/leaf will begin the process of re-vegetation.

The less you leave, the faster it should revert, 'cuz there's less to change?
Of course, leaving a few would ensure more success.

Coupla' pics of my last 2 re-vegs, cut back about a month ago. I'll post a current pic later.

Son of a gun! So, that means that I can whack 'em down even further than I'd planned, right? What say you about the issues with clones taken from such a re-vegged mother?

Yeah, it doesn't take but the tiniest bit left to grow the new plant.
I've never had any problem with clones taken from a re-veg. In fact, I'd be weed-less if it weren't doable. I'll get those follow-up pics up here today.

Before and afters at 4-5 weeks and my last re-veg, the mother of all my weed.
You can see the old growth/dead bud stuff if you look closely on the current re-vegges.
The "mother" re-veg shown was 11" tall, 32" round with a 8" thick canopy.
2 ozs. cured.

Man, that's as pretty as a Christmas tree. I can hardly wait to try it! Did you already tell us what lighting you use?

Those re-vegs' were grown under 40w CoolWhite Shoplights X3 (6 tubes) as close as possible, 24/0.
I find them perfect for MY vegging needs. Get about 5 plants under each set of 3, to about 18".
600W hps budder.

Why, that's the set-up I've been chewing on as well. I've got some clones under a single double-tube fixture, and in the past few days the growth on some of them is unbelievable. I told my husband I should be able to veg well if I had two more (plus, those bulbs are SO much easier to mix than CFLs for me). I shall give him confirmation, his wife has finally made a choice!

Oh, I was also thinking about a 600W-1,000W dual-bulb HID set-up. We're going to dig down into the earth, make a slightly raised planting bed, but UNDER the house, where it's going to be very stable conditions. Lay down 1/4" wire mesh to keep out voles and moles and other such critters, string up lights, and I should be able to get some pretty good results.
