Re-vegetated Mother Questions

After harvest the clone was placed back into 18/6 lighting and feeding it veg nutes, and after a few weeks it began to grow new leaves. It started this maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago.

I know this plant is female but I am just curious as to when I will actually be able to see pistils once again. Is the new growth just not mature enough to show sex yet?

I have read that the cuttings from a re-vegetated plant are not as potent as those that would have been taken before the plant was flowered and harvested. Is this true?

Would really like to know more about this, is this a way to keep 1 female yearly, have a main stalk 8-10" tall, reveg her after a first harvest then flowr her again to yield later......or is there special ways about harvesting to do this?

J/w sorry to hijack if i am.

The buds were cut off this plant and as many leaves were left as possible. As much of the stem was left as possible thinking leaves would grow up there also. Turns out all the new growth came out of the stem just above the dirt. wasnt what I expected but its growing like crazy.

It works fine. This plant I harvested in December and it's about ready again. Put it under max hour lights, veg it a while. I do 24/0. Do some shaping if you like. You won't see pistils until you put it back in flower. I think I re-vegged this one about 75 days, but the first 30 were unproductive and it just grew those funky shaped leaves you're likely seeing. Feed it with a balanced fert if you haven't lately. 1/2 strength, I do? Always with all things?
As for reduced strength, I think that kinda depends on the genetics and maybe even the grower? This shit looks great and smells even better . . . a REAL high high. Bye.
:blsmoke:

35 days in bud foot high . . . 32" canopy . . . some kind of citrus.

The leaves started out as 1, 2, or 3 bladed big leaves. But now it has normal leaves. The stems have yet to turn completely green, and are still very weak. I assume with time it will be bigger and better than it was before.

Mine sure did. First harvest, I didn't know I'd want this plant in the future, but after testing it orally, I HAD to save the strain . . . so i re-vegged and cloned. Now it's safe from extinction. This harvest looks to be about 20X's larger than first one.
Yep, treat it just like a "new" plant and you'll be fine. I did transplant it into a little bigger pot to help roots move . . . about 1/3rd again bigger planter.

How long can the stalk be kept, say i wanted to reveg the same main stalk/root system in 1month from now. After my first harvest, i'm doin bagseed myself and dunno wtf it may be. lol might want to save it and keep it going if its good stuff.

Same circumstance. I've re-vegged a single plant two times before, not counting the original harvest. The first re-veg is smooth . . . the 2nd, you may encounter mutant growth. I don't try more than one re-veg anymore.
The stalk/stem would be viable as long as you cared for it, ie: didn't over-do anything like watering, feeding, etc. or let it dry out too long/much.
I mean, bonsai pot plant stem/stalk regularly live 15-25 years.

Awesome cause i have a nice female that has a pretty crazy skeleton frame on her, wondered when i harvested, if i cutt those 6heads in half and revegged her and mabey get something back from her.

Look at my gallery for some side shots of her, she's stiff as a board and very strong, seems like a nice platform for more growth.
