(this is only the second time) how many times do you re-veg until it loses the strenth of the stone thanks guy's you rule ...
Also how long do i have to wait until i can start to flower again ? some say 3 months .... any help would be great . thanks again for all your help .
Here is a link with a little info on Regeneration http://forum.growkind.com/forum/topic.php?forum=3;topic=5792 Good Luck R420
You can go back into flower when you see multi finger leaves again . Any time you feel you have sufficient new growth and the plant is producing normally . In answer to your question on potency , it will be the same . But you will be producing lots of smaller buds , on tons of bud sites . You need to plan ahead and be prepared to do some training in order to achieve a flat canopy . Otherwise you are gonna have a lot of shaded buds . MOst would agree (I think) that after you get this plant back into a good veg state you should take some cuttings and get them rooted . That's assuming this is an exeptional plant and you want to keep it going . Re-veg isn't the best route to go in most folks opinion , including mine . And I have done it . To save a plant that some dummy (me), missed getting cuttings from it's an option , but as a general growing strategy re-veg is not economical in comparison to clones , hands down . Hope that helps , Strato .
I re-veg quite often... I use this technique when I have found a particularly strong plant that I did not take seeds from. Therefore, I look at it as backtracking... usually takes about one 4weeks before I put her back under 12/12, plus 8-10 weeks for flowering.
I agree with Strato also I will not regenerate a plant again, unless I want alot of clones from the same plant. I ended up giving 1 of the plants in that pic on the link to my step dad, he spent 2 hours manicuring it to get 2ozs. Just a bunch of little buds BTW.... I reveged it for 28 days plus I got 20 clones off the both of them before they went back into flower, now as far as potency alittle bit better because of a longer flower time frame. my 2 cents R420
Boy, am I glad that I read this stuff. The books I read said that re-vegging after flowering reduces potency & the vitality of the plant. The explanation was that the stress of flowering combined with the stress of re-vegging drains the plant. He likened it to taking copies of copies of copies. Eventually the latest copies lose a lot of definition. However, I will always take the word of EXPERIENCED growers over a book. Especially the esteemed growers here. Thanks for correcting a misconception of mine. I LOVE this place. (Edited by jerkypete at 2:52 pm on Nov. 3, 2004)
