How to cut for reveg

I have a couple that are finishing up and just wanted to know the correct way to trim off the bud without damaging the plant so I will be able to reveg it. I know you are supposed to leave a few fan leaves but any other more detailed info would be appreciated!

Leave a couple of the smaller buds on there and a couple stems and buds if you already topped or FIM'ed it.

Any other opinions? Do I really have to sacrifice some small buds to reveg?

no just green leaf.

well most of the green leaf does not have a high amount of THC right? Do only the leaves that grow after you have switched over to flower contain a high amount of THC or do all of the leaves, including the older growth, contain a large amount? I will be making hash from my trimmings but am willing to sacrifice some to reveg the plant. Just want to know around how much is needed for the plant to continue to grow.

1 good fan leaf. However I would leave more than that.

I recently did this to my winter plants, I just left some small popcorn nugs on the bottom of the plant, (about a dried grams worth), no leafs at all and cut the main stem down to about 10". Now I got some nice huge bushes with multiple budding tips. They grow really good too because of the established root system.

Yay, that is good news! I suck at cloning so far but want to continue to grow so I figured revegging might be the best bet for these particular plants. I have heard different things about revegging, but was also wondering how long you have to reveg before you can flower again? I know you probably want it to regain vitality and I realize it will vary from plant to plant, but around how long have you revegged before putting the plant back into flower?

Hey, thanks for the rep. You can reveg it for as long as you want until you put it back into flowering. Whatever height suits your needs is when you can flip it to 12/12

Well these were outdoor Greenhouse plants that were cut in April/May, they are about to go into flower now. It does take a couple weeks to start seeing growth, they seem like they are'nt doing anything then BAM!
