Will this harvested plant reveg?

If you have t5s stick it under there.
I've had great success revegging under t5 but very little success with hid.

Another vote to put it under t-5 or even the t-8, but I would not put it under a dome. I did one two runs ago but have to say, the time it took was incredible...But once it started to grow, I made sure to take clones... its a 50/50 shot... I did repot mine from a 3 gal to a 5 gal after I saw some new growth and it seemed to help it to start to take off

I would suggest leaving a few popcorn buds on the lower branches next time you attempt to reveg. That's where the new growth starts. Good luck.

Revegging and some clones have completely freaked me out. I mean look at it....IT's not growing normally, it's all weird and the leaves are all "special needs." the formation of the plant seems pretty important to me, If it isn't growing in primes and pairs, It's not actually the same structure. Maybe I'm wrong, But I don't wanna end up with Audrey munching on my dog in the middle of the night, talkin about, "Feed Me!"

I can move it under cxb3590 lights for 12 hrs and then put it back under the bright sticks for the rest of the time. Would that be better?

IMHO, it's not the lights. It's the lack of little buds that worries me but I'm not going to say she won't reveg.

@Joe Blows Trees that's what I was thinking too but I'm gonna leave it alone for a while & see what happens

As long as you don't overwater it or overfeed it, I think you'll be OK eventually. The plant's got to do one of two things - continue to grow (which would be revegging) or die. It's been 2 weeks or so since you chopped her, and she's not dying yet, so it's a pretty good chance she's going to make it. And if she does, then she has to reveg. It's just a matter of time.
I agree it would have been better to leave part of a bud, because they like to grow from those nodes, but at least one of those leaf structures on the stalk looks like a sucker shoot. Your new growth should come from the middle of that one, but you'll probably have to be patient.
Here's one that I'm revegging now. I just cut her 3 days ago, and left some fragments of bud on the 2 lowest branches. I also left enough small fan leaves to support photosynthesis until the new growth kicks in. 3 days before harvest, I flushed it thoroughly in the bathtub, until the runoff was only about 50 PPM above tap water. Then I let the plant dry the coco out for a day or so, watered it with a slightly high-N solution, and gave it 1 more day. Then I chopped it and stuck it under a 400W MH on a 20/4 cycle. The fan leaves were very yellow from the fade, but within 2 days, they were starting to darken again from the N, and you can already see dark green new growth starting to pop out from part of the bud sites.
Even just a few calyxes would have made things easier for you, but if I had to bet one way or the other, I'd bet you're going to be OK. It may be a few weeks, but she should bounce back. Good luck with it.

@Skunk Baxter thanks a lot, that was a really helpful read.

Thanks, I'm glad you found it useful. See, I don't like to trim the rootball at the same time I'm chopping it and sticking it under 20/4 lights. It's taking quite a beating already. Will the plant still be OK if I don't baby it like that? Sure, probably. It's a pretty tough weed. But I feel that the less stress I subject it to, the quicker and more smoothly she'll transition back to a useful, cloneable veg-stage plant. I'm not trying to force her to veg; I'm trying to help her to veg.
For me, the key is to make sure the medium is thoroughly flushed of high-PK salts from the bloom nutes, and that the plant is already taking up a new high-N nutrient mix and distributing it throughout the plant before I chop off most of the foliage. Once you've stripped her of her leaves, the plant will take longer to take up the new nutrients, because it's just not taking much water out of the medium. That's also why I like to have the medium slightly more dry than normal when I cut her - instead of watering every day (or even twice a day), suddenly she's only getting a new drink every 3 or 4 days. So if there's any kind of nutrient deficiency or imbalance, it's going to take longer and be more difficult to correct.
I want the moisture profile and the nutrient balance of the coco dialed in to the most ideal conditions for vegging before I start vegging her; I don't want to slap her in the face and disrespect her the same day I'm harvesting her. I think of my plants as my friends, and I'm in their lives to help them be the best marijuana plants they can be. I always try to think in terms of what the plant needs to feel better, and what I can do to give it to them. That's my role. Just keeping them as healthy as possible, and not stressing them anymore than I absolutely have to. Revegging is one of those times where I think you get better and quicker results by babying your plants and easing them along, rather than forcing them to adapt.
Oh, and I grow in coco. So I also make sure that in the last two top waterings, I use a fairly healthy dose of both Hygrozyme and Gnatrol. It's very important to keep the roots as healthy and happy as possible, especially in the early stages when they're exposed to more moisture than they're accustomed to, and this is the worst possible time for a gnat infestation. I try to be proactive on both potential issues, because error correction is a little harder until she gets a healthy set of leaves rumbling away on all cylinders.

Yeah, you cut a little too much off, like every single growing tip, without which no shoot can ever grow. In other words, you done messed up.

Only problem is; there are no buds of any kind on there. Where do you think a shoot is going to grow from, a leaf? Doesn't actually work that way. The plant will stay alive, until the leaves eventually die naturally, just will never grow a shoot.
Actually it looks like a leaf growing from where a shoot should be. Maybe it just looks like a leaf but has a tiny growing tip on it somewhere. If so then it could regen.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting the photos, but it does look to me like one of those leaf structures has two nodes on it - very close together, but it does look like it might be two nodes. Although I'm not as sure of that as I was the first time I looked. If it's got two nodes, it's a branch, and it should reveg. But if it is just a single leaf, then yeah, it may not work.
