recycle instead of cloning?

I just read a bit by Rosethanal about recycling plants. The article was saying that after harvesting just the buds of the plant you can reveg the entire plant. Instead of killing it outright, just take the buds and then put it back on a veg light cycle... grow it out and then flower it all over again. He says it is the equivalent of a plant surviving a winter and starting over in a new season. He also says the plant will regrow more foliage in 45 days than would a clone vegged up to 75 days. Seems to me this would be a lot quicker that doing clones...

Anybody try this...or is anybody doing it regulalrly?

clones up and running in 10 days max ,,,is me vs a reveg that may take considerably longer

see it as cannabis is a yearly plant, in its natural state why risk weird shit happening ..?

twisted leaves etc ..see it as the ultimate stress ..lol

Rosethanal was marginal back then is faded dust by now,

update ur reads Jorge is another classic

good luck

I agree with vostok... a lot of energy to spend on the re-veg... there is someone here who has done it... I just don't recall the thread it was in... I can't see spending money on the power to do this, but hey, I may just toss it outside and see what happens, afterall my next harvest is in a few weeks so hopefully frost is gone and warmer temps will settle in... not much to lose by trying it outside with the rest of my vegis and flowers for the summer...

I was thinking the same thing. My harvest is coming up in a month and i was going to take a break for a couple months before the nwxt round. thought i might leave a couple plants and reveg just to see what they do and how long it takes...

I confess to all ..that I have done a re-veg to drop outside early spring like

its no biggy and works well

I'm just saying cloning it after re-veg was easier

on average I reveg 1x plant every 2-3 grows

but it is a stressful time

keep that in mind

good luck

monster cropping....it's only to save a plant for me, others do it on the regular.

I have three revegged plants now about three months since harvest and two are good, one I'm not happy I revegged. She just isn't the same. The other two are doing great but are just now growing like my plants from seed. If you're going to take a break anyways, it's not a bad idea. By the time you're ready to get back to growing, it'll be a nice size.

My air layered DF white widow clone, that I forgot about during the air layer process and dried out...

I'm gonna re-veg, I'll keep her dormant for now, and make a nice slow re-veg

once done and she still shows sign of stress, other than 'new' leaves twisting

I'll then clone off to separate pots, but really I'm done with this strain

I really should have made her an auto ..

still might?

ps: air layering is not recommended for this reason, stoners forget about things ...lol

even tho I wrapped the A/L in a fist full of kitchen foil ...lol

another thing to consider is that the reveg parts only grow off budding tips, so if you harvest all the nugs, it probably won't re-veg.
and hell i've seen some strains that have little growth even after 45 days, some strains JUST don't like to be reveged.
some do though, some will flip back in 14 days or so under 24/0
I had a real nice sugarpunch from sannie that I tried to reveg, and it simply refused.
under two months of constant light it simply dried up.

That's what happened to my pineapple haze plant. I left a good amount of buds and treated it just like the others but it dried up and died. The amnesia haze is the one I'm not happy with. She doesn't have the original vigor and pheno anymore so she's actually in week 2 of bloom outside. Hoping she'll finish around May, right before summer. The og kush is good, but the chocolope is the best. I just cloned her again yesterday. She'll be repotted this weekend along with the og kush and around the second or third week of May, they'll be flowered again, hopefully outside. I'm gonna try to time it so I harvest them around their birthday, Aug 16th, 2015.

Grew out a c99xnhaze for last years outdoor. And reveged that plant and its flowering again.

I reveg all the time, with limited space it is much easier to reveg the plant that turned out stellar without having to pull clones from all and wait to find out ?

I am revegging to keep my branch structure I have bent. I mainlined, I feel that revegging will have great success with properly LSTed plants.

Yes I too sometimes when pheno hunting will wait to see how they turn out then reveg best.
