Question about re-vegging early flowering outdoor

[shmoop]

They started to flower and I am wondering if they are going to revert back to veg as the days get longer? Or are they just going to finish out the flowering. If they are going to go back to veg, should I cut the buds off that are already there? Or just leave them on? I would hate to see the plants go back to veg and the bud dry up or something, its reeeeaaaal resinous. Would it be similar to re-vegging indoors where you just cut the tops and leave the bottom to grow back out? Also Did RUI make it so you cant start new paragraphs anymore??? Or is my enter key not working for some reason....

Will eventually revegg depending on where you live, typically fall is when these girls finish off, you started at the wrong time of year, finish flowering indoors.

Ya gotta go with SativaDragon, you started too early for outdoor, I hatch seeds on the first day of spring March 20th, this is what is suggested for most strains, some should be hatched as late as may-june. I would try to let them finish indoors you're lible to stress them out if you reveg.

lol, cmon guys...... I said in the post I only put them outdoors because I didn't have the room indoors. I don't like to kill plants if I don't have to. I know that February is too early, that wasn't my question. At this point this is about experimenting and curiosity, I'm not too worried about the plants going one way or the other cuz like I said I don't need them... Could you guys maybe re-read the post and answer the specific questions I have? Thanks and Ill plus rep you guys

Don't worry about the rep but, if you can't bring them inside to flower either cover them every night with a black trashbag for 12 hours or chop off all the buds feed it some N and reveg it. Too bad they look pretty nice.

Hey, I don't want to sound like I don't appreciate the response cuz I do... but that wasn't really my question, I already fully understand the growing cycle of this plant indoor and out as I have done this for a few years. If you could answer my more in depth questions that would be great! Thanks!

lol, I feel like maybe I should have worded my post differently... I don't really care about these plants finishing.. I'm more interested to see what happens if I leave them going. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with putting plants out real early like this. My MAIN question is; when it reverts back to veg, what happens to the bud that has already grown? Does it die and fall off like dead leaves? Should I go through and snip it off? Or just fully cut the tops off like you do in an indoor re-veg? They are not auto flower so I'm pretty certain they are transitioning back to vegetative growth right now and just don't want to see the stuff its already grown go to waste. THANKS!

Dude! Right!? I just put them straight in ground in the beginning of November, with just a little top coat of organic soil and they are fucking BEAUTIFUL... the pictures don't do the color justice.. just the nicest shade of green, also a very sturdy structure, they put my indoor shit to shame. I'm thinking the freedom of the roots has a lot to do with it.. Also, I had chopped them in half a few times to keep them in this very short space as it was the only place I had room.

Chop them off! They are going to rot off anyway. Cut it down to around a foot. Leave 6-8 branches with a popcorn bud or two on them and reveg.

I'm not too sure bro, it does make sense that the bud would die off so I would just re-top. Thanks for the rep

I missed that when I first read your answer for some reason... that's pretty much what I'm looking for. Will the buds that are there just wither up if I leave them there? Do you think I should cut them now? Or will the bud continue to mature even as the plant is re-vegging?

......snip.......My MAIN question is; when it reverts back to veg, what happens to the bud that has already grown?

New leaves start to come out where the sugar leaves are. It acts stunned and sort of sits for weeks without doing anything then it begins to push out new leaves that look sort of like the are unscrewing themselves, ie they start out quite curly and as they ease back into veg they leaves straighten out.

Does it die and fall off like dead leaves?

No, matter of fact if you snip the small bud off the terminal end of the limbs then they seem to come around a little quicker.

Should I go through and snip it off?

This is a matter of preference. I leave them on if I want it to be slow and I pinch them off if I want them to re-veg quicker.

Or just fully cut the tops off like you do in an indoor re-veg?

Really? I don't do that indoor. I pinch off just the top bud site and it works.

By the way if you are familiar with indoor re-veg just generalize your experience to outdoors.
hth,

K, that's what I was looking for. Ill probably do it tomorrow morning

Yes and fall off by themselves. It takes longer for the plant to do it. If you snip/pinch or trim if the colas are huge. If you have huge colas and are significantly into flower then trash bag it and take a harvest off the top and upper sides. Then allow it to re-veg so you get 2 harvests. That would be a cool experiment. LOL

hth,

now im getting mixed reviews, others say the bud will die off as the plant starts vegetating again

Ohh I see what you are saying... I'm actually just letting the plants run their course, I'm not worried about making them re-veg.. more about what will happened to the surprising amount of bud it put off in a short time...

I sorta want to try this, but if they have already begun to re-veg I'm worried that trash bagging them now would cause hermie. Thoguhts?

 

[Trippy Stix]

yeah whatever you do don't just discard those buds and let it re-veg.. at least do "some" chopping and leave the skeleton of the stalk.. if there are no leaves on your plant it WILL go back to producing leaves and nodes again ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwhMrCss-D4

Yep I will go with that to, the bud won't be any goodit has to be mature so don't bother with it. new age United has it.

There are TONS of milky trichomes though... remember its been out there since early February.. that's 2 months of flowering. Most of the hairs are still white but I have done large scale work with this strain in the past and remember that the hairs generally stay mostly white right up until you cut them. The buds aren't real big but I also never fed them so I'm thinking they might be pretty close to mature.
