any advice to reveggin. have a plant that i would like to keep and look over better. have not been able to get a finished plant to reveg and survive. just dry up and die.
If the plant is trimmed properly, and there are some leaves and buds left, just flush the plant twice, add some mild starter ferts, place under lights at 20 on / 4 off, and within a week you will see little sprouts of leaves come right out of what were the buds.
Increase to regular grow ferts and an 18 on / 6 off cycle.
Indicas have a longer transition to veg than the sativas, but because the plant does not have to grow any roots and is ready to take off, it usually becomes a dense hedge that has to be trimmed back.
Some of the strangest leaves you will see will come from regrows that shoot off singles and triples the size of 11-point sun leaves.
Once your plant has reverted to its usual leave point count and reached a decent size, TAKE SOME CLONES SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO REGROW AGAIN!!!
Because the regrow is the only way to keep a plant you liked but forgot to clone, and because it can produce a quick hefty second and third harvest from most strains with little effort, get crackin and try harder and I'm sure you'll be the master of the regrown clone regrow in no time.
this is a subject that is in need of deep discussion. we've tried before but with weak result. you have brought promise to this sore spot. thanks br0 ~
reveging.... I love it ...here r some pics.The 1st pic is the reveg flowering as we speak. the 2nd is where I hacked the main stem and the third is the aerial view. Had to reveg bcuz I hadn't quite gotten the cloning thing down yet.
A properly trimmed regrow would have at least six points for new growth to show. This could be six smaller buds or six leaf point nodes, but the more you have to start with, the more actual energy the plant can produce and the less shock.
If your plants dry up it is because you have to understand that the cannabis stem structure is a closed system of hydraulics, and any open hollow stem is a major leak in that system.
I always leave a good foot or so of main bare stem sticking up so that the stem can naturally close, and them the lower branches can thrive.
If my daughter hadn't borrowed my digicam, I'd post a pic of the regrow that I have just cut today of my Hawaiian Indica. You may lose the few buds you leave on the plant, but a wise investment in the future for sure.
I'll post these picks as soon as I can and if you want I can do a real time photo essay for ya showing the new shoots and stems and the odd leaves.
Here is a picture of the Indica that the now harvested clone I just cut for regrow came from. It's fruitylicious and finishes faster than an ethiopian at a backyard BBQ.
that is far from being 100% true.... I only left the little growth of the bottom of the stem w/ the main stem hacked and could see the hollow stem and did not affect my reveg
here's a pic of my two GWS. I took the top 70% and left the rest. Threw under the sun to finish a few lower larger buds......then I will remove remaining bigger buds left.........then throw under 24hr light till about mid April. I will then take outside and plant in the ground for the remainder of the summer seson....harvest in September.
*waves HIGH!* great discussion.... and think Hawaiian makes some good points.
NC> have experienced similar success... but only with some strains. so maybe its not 100% true... but Hawaiian's suggested practice may increase the success rates on those strains that don't seem to work for some of us... *raises hand*
have found it helps if you harvest more toward the earlier side.... than waiting till she has gone the limit. *shrugs* least that's what has helped me. Sat hybrids seem to be much easier for me... so will start trying with the longer mainstem as Hawaiian has suggested.
If drying out is still a problem, sometimes I take a smaller greener stem of the right diameter and cut it and jam it into any holes and gaps in the bigger fresh cut stems. I like to think it's better than nothing, and more natural than the pruning patch gunk sold at stores.
NorCal: I only cut my plants that close to the ground to say goodbye!
You have a greeeeen thumb to pull that off.
Its just that more old growth equals more new growth.
I have kept my Tricot (mutant Hawaiian landrace Sativa) alive for four years now, with many a regrown clone and nary a mother.
Check back Wednesday for those first pics of the race.
HG sometimes when I leave a bunch of growth I become overwhelmed w/ too many new shoots of growth but you are right about the more you leave the more growth comes back.
That thick but puny growth on the lower quarter of your regrow after the first month can just be plucked or cut off. The plant needs to spend its energy up top where the real buds will be and this overgrown stuff just is an invitation for rot or whatever.
I'm sure you clean up the plants prior to their stretch.
