flower yellowing?

I missed this part when I originally read your thread, I went from 12/12 straight to 18/6, then a week later up to 20/4 (was getting impatient waiting for veg to happen). Then back to 12/12.

I was in veg, flowered for 3 weeks, vegged for 3 weeks, then back to flower. I'll have to try it with the more moderate lighting changes and see what she does structurally, because mine grew basically 2 layers of buds, with the second layer growing out of the first, more similar to what you'd see with a plant thats harvested and then revegged
So is what you have kind of like an extreme form of foxtailing would you say? Where a bud starts to grow out of another one? I was also wondering about that. How do you reveg a harvested plant? I mean I know you would have to take the light back up but do you just have to leave some of the buds and leaves or can you strip it completely bare and it'll reveg if you give it nutes, water, and more light?

Yes, and yes.

It kind of resembles foxtailing, except the new growth doesn't HAVE to come from the top of a bud. It can come from the sides as well. In fact, I found, depending on the orientation of the bud you can manipulate where the new growth forms (likely due to auxins). New growth comes out of single calyxes on the bud, and depending on light distribution, can have a single new growth or many off of a single bud.

As for revegging a harvested plant, you need to leave some buds on there as that is where the new growrh will form. For this, you would harvest say 90-95% of the plant, leaving some popcorn nuts and leaves, then just put it back into veg and 2-3 weeks later you'll start to see growth. Generally, revegging in this manner isnt worth it though... in the time it takes to reveg a harvested plant, you could have started another one, and it will end up producing more in the same amount of time.

Its likely my reveg will end up with the same story... extended grow time with a harvest that doesn't reflect that. In the time it took me to reveg, I likely could have harvested, and started a second plant, and been at roughly the same point I am now. BUT I could also be wrong, as the size/shape/number of nodes this thing has is insane so well see.

Ah that is pretty kewl. I didnt know thats where the new growth occured was out of the calyxes so that is pretty interesting. Oh ok that's what I figured. I have never revegged a plant but I assumed some of the little things at the bottom would have to be left in order for new off shoots to grow out from it. And that makes sense if you have plenty of seeds you are better off just starting a new one. Plus I figure if you do reveg that perhaps the quality would degrade slightly every time you reveg it. Although I don't know this for sure since I have never attempted it. I do appreciate the info and advice though because I thought about trying to keep this one I have now since it was the only seed I had but I probably won't. I know the number of node sites on this plant is ridiculous as well...lol. Best of luck to you bro...I hope it turns out great for you. Keep us updated.

Well, you could reveg the plant after harvest in order to take clones from her. If you like that plant, revegging is useful for that.

Or you can take clones during flower, which is called "monster cropping" if you wanted to research that.

And yea, I need to throw a journal together so you guys can keep up. If I make one ill link ya so you can see how she finishes up, otherwise check the pages I linked, as ill deff put pics in those places as shes finishing up
