you can just see the new growth coming out. your plants should have an easy time of it with the root ball you have going on already once they get enough leaf
does reverting right at the onset of flowering take less time maybe, like a week or two? i always work from seed so far.
arrrrrrrrgh! there's that catch 22 again! if you want to sex your plants in cups BEFORE repotting them, you need to do it quickly before they get rootbound, but if you want to pre-sex them and revert them to get more veg growth, you have to waste a month doing that too. if not that, then you need to build a mother room to clone in. all three options suck!

You cut off too much of the main stem. Even if there is no greenery present I leave at least a foot of main
stem at harvest. Even if your plant does re-grow it will have a much smaller yield. That's because your
plant will have to expend so much energy re-growing the support system.

Why are you growing it if you aren't going to re-flower?
I have 3 purple wreck and 2 lemon skunks in the reveg mode.... I left them about 2 ft high. I prolly coulda got another ounce, ounce and a half out of them but I'd rather leave the buds to support new growth sites.... I gonna clone and flower them one last time.

BULLSHIT.... ive personally re-vegged females after harvest under 24 hrs of light. no mold no grey fuzz just funny looking leaves a first. if its a excellent pheno that you have to have then re-veg it, lots of light and lots of nitrogen

the flowers are the new growth points. cut off those n u will fail. You will end up with a healthy stick slowly dying from lack of food.

WTF are you on about?
Flowers aren't the only growth points. The point where the flower grows from is a growth point, so if you cut a flower off the plant will attempt to grow new growth from that point

At the start of the thread I wasn't saying cut it all off mate I was just saying if it were me I'd cut as much away as I was comfortable doing so the plant isn't putting energy into trying to revert or use the energy from the remaining buds, it can get on with growing new branches. I would have left points of growth though not cut it right back to the stem which is what I think you took my post as meaning

Hey no worries mate.
Takes a big person to apologise on these sites, If I said anything offensive in the moment I too apologise

Yes but if you cut the bud off It will still have a growth point yes? as long as you leave a node where the bud was it will grow. I'm not saying to cut the buds off always for re veg, I just would have in the OPs situation. I wouldn't do it to the top cola etc as this would just be topping.
