Q.1 reveg in dwc Q.2 never change water in dwc

Question 1:
has anyone had any type of luck revegging after its been harvested. i would prefer those who use dwc to answer but all answers are welcomed and if you do dwc what steps do you take to reveg

Question 2:
has anyone who dwc used the same rez water threw out the whole grow. i ve herd of this, something about monituring ph and ppm levels and keeping the rez water leveled-


they both sound like a good way to simplefy the grow if anyone has any good info on both of these methods - thanks in advance

never done it but i know revegging should only be done twice at most...


as far as using the same water yes you can do that if you carefully monitor but thats just about the same amount of work as changing the rez water every so often.. so whats the difference in the end really?


I say stick with whats tried and true!

just my opinion tho, anyone else?

from what i understand to reveg you would just harvest but leave enough foliage for the plant to grow back (something like a giant clone that already had roots.. if that makes any sense? lol)

yeah herd of this also but thought that you had to cut away the root ball or somthing

"Question 1: has anyone had any type of luck revegging after its been harvested. i would prefer those who use dwc to answer but all answers are welcomed and if you do dwc what steps do you take to reveg"

Yes, it takes forever. Leave every leaf you can and some bud; 24 hour light; lots of nitrogen to bring the leaves back; you want fresh water in your DWC so you only have veg nutes. As The 5hit was saying normally you'd cut back the root ball to promote new root growth, in DWC cutting the roots way back will help - you have a very small plant being fed by a root system developed to feed a larger flowering plant.

It's easier and quicker to root clone. Take some side roots, put in a black bucket mixed in pro mix and distilled water. You'll get hundreds of sprouts with calydons. If the plant is worth saving try both methods - reveg and root cloning - to see which you like better.

Yes, it's horrible on yield, potency and time to harvest. I even did a DWC grow with no air and not changing the water. The plant grew fine but small and virtually no bud. Did it in a 2 liter pop bottle covered in Reflextic to reduce light in the bottle.

I did it just to see what would happen, I wouldn't recommend not changing the water. It fills with dead roots, sediment from the fertilizer, the roots get less oxygen ... just not conducive to growing bud.



.

I have had 3 basil sitting in a DWC which I'm too lazy to tend to.

It's been 3 months since it had a res change, or any nutes whatsoever.

It hasn't been growing, but hasn't been dying or showing signs of any deficiency either.


Not changing your res for a whole grow, will lead to an accumulation of salts which may fuck up your TDS and/or your plants.


It's been done successfully though.


For lazyness!!

did you say ROOT CLONING .does this work or is this another leaf cloning idea
is there info on this

.

It works, I've done it with success. I'm going to do a Root Clone Test thread in the Advanced section, I'll post a link in this thread when I start it.

Root budding is the simplest cloning method I've used, but takes more time than rooting cuttings. There's very little infomation on the net about it, I picked it up from the old OG but I didn't use it again because the bubbler was faster. And I didn't need hundreds of clones. I don't know why commercial growers don't use this method.

1. pull out a couple handfuls of damp roots and soilless from the bottom side of the bucket (I was looking for a way to clone a plant in late flower without revegging);
2. put in a light proof bucket with dark plastic directly on top of the mix (fluff up a bit, spray with ph'd water if too dry);
3. leave it for a few weeks somewhere dark and warm, check every once and a while and eventually you'll have hundreds of 4"+ sprouts with cotyldones.

"... In particular, the natural ability of roots of many species to form buds that develop into new shoots has been long recognized, and lists of species capable of forming ‘root buds’ are extensive. In some species, shoot buds occur sporadically on roots only after the root has been excised, whereas in other species one of the main functions of the root system appears to be the production of root buds. The formation of buds on roots enables the propagation of plants by root cuttings and is an important means of spreading noxious weeds. A variety of root tissue may be involved in bud differentiation, and the development pattern therefore varies considerably depending on the region of the root in which bud initiation occurs. Root buds of herbaceous species frequently arise endogenously, in a manner similar to initiation of lateral or adventitious roots. Therefore, descriptions of buds arising from both the pericycle and the phellogen or related tissues are frequently reported"

.

"In propagation by cuttage or layerage it is only necessary for a new root system to form, since the meristematic shoot apex comes directly from the parental plant. Many stem cells, even in mature plants, have the capability of producing adventitious roots. In fact, every vegetative cell in the plant contains the genetic information needed for an entire plant. Adventitious roots appear spontaneously from stems and old roots as opposed to systemic roots which appear along the developing root system originating in the embryo. In humid conditions (as in the tropics or a green house) adventitious roots occur naturally along the main stalk near the ground and along limbs where they droop and touch the ground."

now this being true (not douting you)
with all this said then if you could get a leaf to root then said leaf could then sprout a cotyldones
because everyone , self included, douts leaf cloneing but i and others have had leafs sprout roots
maybe we gave up to soon

ps
please keep me posted on this root cloning link
maybe start it now so that i can subscribe to it now

Hello are you still there
need info on this root cloning

.

Hey T5!

I'm running a Root Clone Test thread with pics, join us there:

its called Deep tissue culture you can purchase kits form worms way

My DWC Tub is pretty large, I changed the water when I switched to 12/12. Otherwise I had a dozen gallons of H2O on standby to top it off every few days as needed. So I guess I would call that a "partial" water change. Works for me.
