Help me revenge this cheese lady.

I'm about to harvest this plant and there's plenty of green leaves at the bottom and I want to revegate this plant if possable.

I've done this years ago and i'm hoping I can do it again.

Besides repotting it in a smaller pot and trimming off some roots and adding fresh soil. What else can I do to help it work? Also, it would be moved to an area with a low light that is on 24/7.

I wouldn't repot it. Just top it off with some more soil to cover up those roots and leave it alone under the 24/7 lighting. Good luck.

Bit of grow food.

Actually, a lot of grow food, to run-off, wait to soak, then again. Being sure you have a complete feed, particularly that it has Ca and Mg, often missing from soil feed, but easily added with calmag

I bet you could use green fencing wire in your training. Not just the plant wire I use, or house wiring, but that structurally stiff plastic coated wire. The stuff held in tension for wire link fencing. It could make sturdy hoops, for bamboo uprights. I just got 50 reusable zip ties for a dollar. It seems to suit your style

Cut off all that top noise, top off with rich soil, pull off rest of remaining bud sites (not mandatory but helps) & be patient, DONT overwater put under 16-18 hours light

Is this because you have an aversion to calmag, from it's over use?
Many soil feeds miss them both entirely. However, if you are going to flush like hell, you don't want to leave your plants in that situation. No Ca or Mg in solution, doesn't need thinking about. Now you could mess about with other Calcium sources and Epson salts, just to avoid the obvious recoil effect of finding a product made for the job, or you could just use it.

Canna is a perfectly good soil feed for many, but it's total lack of them leaves my plants wanting. They want Ca in solution for intensive growth, and a good flush removes it. Also the Ca&Mg are good at sorting the cec, which might have high K after flowering, or other lesser attractive things like sodium after months of use.

they are both antagonistic bases, CalMag is a marketing scam and ratios all wrong. Plants definitely need Ca & Mg just not as they are delivered via CalMag, to get his roots pushing he should focus on N, Ca, P and B - B due fact Ca/B are directly related, like Bricks and mortar....

Happy growing, your plant will be revegging in no time cheese ;)

I've revegged dozens of plants, both male and female. I've never done anything special with them. Just trimmed them up leaving a few lower sites, topped up the soil if needed, and put them under longer light hours. Feed and water as normal.

It's a simple process that doesn't require any significant input from the grower. Just set the plant aside and let it do it's thing. That's all I've been doing for years. The plant does the rest.

I wouldn’t move her to a smaller pot, trim a fair bit around the current root mass then repot into either the same size pot or get bigger, you want the keep the new roots happy and healthy and fast growing. Treat it like a very large bonsai. I’ve found 24 hour lighting for around a week produces the quickest new green growth.

That would be nice, if keeping it in soil, and wanting to do it again. I never asked the OP if it was to keep, or for cuttings. For me, the reveg has always been to save a plant that did something special. Save it for keeping that is. For cuttings. Hence I would just pour though a full range grow food. I have no expectation of keeping the plant. That's just me though. I could of asked. I might.


@led05 Yes they are antagonistic. That is why they're together. It's a bottle of Calcium boost, enriched with a number of things that added calcium could antagonise. CalMag seems to work for me. It's not all the same though, I had to find a ratio I liked.
Ionic soil has 50ppm Ca and added Mg. That's about a teaspoon a gallon, of your average calmag. I found about 35ppm made the Canna work. It also gives about 25ppm N, from that average bottle.
I'm looking for the easiest root to cuttings. Presuming there is bloom food and boosters in there. Like the average grow. When it could so easily be a grow feed in there, with some cleaning action.

I not vote 'just chuck it in the corner' but potting up sounds like a chore lol. I'm gonna stick with my grow feed, and adding calcium if it has non.

Ill try this instead. If it's worked for you for years then it should work for me likely. I have another grow spot that gets twenty four hours of light.

I always re-flower any plant I re-veg, don't see why not to. I only reveg plants that ended up spectacular and I didn't take clones for whatever reason, am assuming this is what cheesebuds is going for.
