What are your thoughts about reversing a plant that has been flowering (12/12) for 8-9 weeks to it's vegitative state (18/6)

It has dence buds and is about 3 ft tall.

What should I expect will happen?
What are pros and cons?

NOTE: This is for cloning purposes.

I'd like to know as well but i would think you would need to chop the buds off first and leave all the healthy foilage you can on the plant..thats what i just did with mine and im just now showing some new growth now @ day 12 of re-vegg..

** yup, thats what i would do. remove the budz then put it back under 18/6.. it might take awhile before she reverts back to veg (1-2weeks)

goodluck

i wouldnt necessary chop off the buds, when there were a couple plants that flowered outdoor early, I did a little experiment where i chopped the the very top layer of nugs (chopping little under the bottom on the pistils where they meet the nug) I found this basically topped the nug and dozens of new shoots began to come in. It takes a while but if it sounds like a idea to you i can show you pics

yesterday i read a thread on a technique called monster cropping, using plants 21 days into bloom as mother plants (ill look for it in a moment so i can post a link to it here)

i think you would get a monster bush!

Thank you for your suggestions. I think I will cut of the buds (to maximize income) and revegge it. This monster plan sounds good for me due to lack of space to have mother plants or numerous clones.

If someone has other ideas I'd love to hear them. Keep posting.

Bro just harvest it like normal, but keep as many leaves as possible, and a few lower little nugs. I've heard somebody say they leave 1/8oz on the plant total, between many tiny nugs.
And then just treat her like she's vegging.

Also, why not 21/3?

1/8oz isn't much and I should be able to spare that to my plant...
Thank you guys, you've always been helpful !

a little update:

I harvested 160 grams of cured bud and the plants are starting to show new vegetation growng from the buds.
I left maybe 20-30 grams on four plants to revegg them.

So far, so good
