too late to reveg?

I'm putting a plant in my garden to start it a little earlier than I intended, a friend was either gonna give it to me or trash it, he just sprouted too many, wound up with more girls than he needed but left this one in the tent, he didn't really take care of it much, since he didn't intend on keeping it, so I know already, the plant isn't doin' too good,

So it was 12/12 from seed, under a 600 watt hps, in a party cup, in happy frog soil, with no nutes. I'm not positive on how old it is, but I think she was sprouted a little before christmas, so perhaps as old as five weeks. She's 17 inches tall

I've put her in my tent under 18/6 with a 315 watt cmh (philips elite agro 930/sunsystem lec 315) in a one gallon smart pot filled with batch 64 moonshine moonshine. She's looking a bit better than she did when I got her on friday. I'm having some issues with heat I'll be able to get around soon

Is it feasible to put her back into veg? How long would it take? I wanna keep her really bad, it's seed another friend of mine has some of, every single one he's popped has been purely purple, meaning I could not find any green on any of the bud visually. The aroma is amazing, even this little girl's smell is enchanting, like some kind of berry

yea revegging it will make it a nice mother but it takes a long ass time. what I would do is fix the plant. put it in a bigger pot and let it finish budding. but only chop the big buds and re veg the left over little ones and they'll make weird round leaves then they'll sprout a lot of one blade leaf sets then 3 and so on.. just make sure u leave enough buds to keep the plant from going into shock. im thinking maybe 1-2buds per branch would be ok

think the last few days of 18/6 might be an issue? and having transplanted three days ago, transplanting into a 5 gallon so quick sounds troublesome, maybe dangerous for the plant?

ok as far as the transplant goes unless you break a lot of the roots, leave them exposed for a long period of time, play with the roots with your hand, or place them in a soil that's too hot nute wise or not ph'd then it shouldn't be a problem but give it a week if your not comfortable re-re-potting. but eventually the size of the pot will limit the roots which will make it exponentially harder to get the plant what it needs and consequently limit growth. as far as the light schedule goes, u have to understand that u took an already very stressed, stunted and starving ( to the point where the entire stem is purple and the plant expressed what I believe to be a nitrogen def [don't quote me on the nitrogen def could be something else behind it] in bloom [which is kinda hard to do]) plant and told it to reveg. everything u do and get now is kinda luck truth be told if the plant has it in its genetics its gonna herm if it wants to. so with that said if it were me id just say fuck it put it back in bloom and hope for the best, but because genetics vary so much I cant give a definite answer. but putting it back in bloom should be less stressful than making it do a 180 to veg. I have done it before with no problems but genetics vary........

cool thanks for the detailed answer man.

so it's probably a total crapshoot on how long it would actually take to get her back into a proper veg state?

also, if this plant herms is this pheno pretty much gone? so if I were to just keep flowering her now and saw nanners, and took clones of other branches, would those clones grow out to be herms?

its gonna take a while regardless. im thinking anywhere from 3weeks -2monthes.... correction all the plants ive experimented with took between 3weeks- ~2monthes but once they start re vegged plants make great mothers they don't grow like Christmas trees afterwards they turn into bushes with perfect clone sized branches. and as far as herming goes not necessarily. honestly hermaphrodites can still produce nice buds it will just be seeded unless u stay on top of removing the male parts. and i think its possible to use two hermaphrodite to create all female seeds so don't sweat it if they do [ but im so rusty on that matter that i would strongly suggest independent research (if they herm that is) ] and im not sure about cloning the branches. different branches develop at different times that's y u harvest the top then the lower leaves so its possible but then you would run into three problems. 1. your plant doesn't have enough material to clone. 2. the material it does have is nutrient deprived. when you clone a plant the clone cannibalizes the lower leaf sets until the roots grow or the clones cannibalizes all the leaf sets. and 3.clonning ands ALOT of yet another level of stress to the picture.. u can clone a plant that's buding though if u can get your friend to let u take some clones that would be a lot easier
