Revegging after harvest - Grow log/Advice/Proof Enjoy!

I'm starting this thread about revegging your plants after you harvest the buds from them in order to grow them back out and get a 2nd, or maybe even more harvests from the same plant. I plan to provide all the information I can for others who want to try this process, as well as a grow log of my own revegging project as proof that it does work, and hopefully by the end of it, that it does work well. I grew my first plant this summer and failed to take clones at an early enough stage in its life to preserve it, as harvest rolled around I researched hard for options to keep going since I had no more seeds and no good means of buying any new seeds or clones. Once I heard about revegging I researched it as much as I could and got to work...

I am about 2-3 weeks into revegging currently and I have plenty of new growth, still mostly mutant/confused growth but at least I know its working properly. I think you'll find that my reveg situation has been quite unique, and that may offer some new ideas for those of you looking to try it out. I will be posting pictures later on today, and continuously as she grows all the way through her 2nd harvest. Just out of curiosity how often should I take update pictures of the growth? I'll shoot for at least once a week.

Anyways, stay tuned and enjoy, also remember that this is somewhat new to me as well. So anyone more experienced should feel free to comment and correct me on anything I do or say. Also I'd love to see links to other revegging grow logs if anyone else has them. Enjoy, and I appreciate any and all comments that you can send my way throughout the process.

I got about 7 years of revegging experience,thank's to Rusty Trichome. He set me straight on 1 thing..So... I'm gonna ask you this question. Did you trim the rootball and transplant? It's a very big deal if you did'nt and timing is the key. As soon as the plant is harvested you should trim the roots and transplant. Kinda gettin' all the stress out of the way at 1 time. Makes sense,too. I did it opposite and waited till they vegged back and then transplant. Not anymore! The growth was explosive after I trimmed the roots. They had stopped or stalled growth,by not doing that. Anyway... Gonna stay tunned in to this thread,Kinda my thing. Love having the same strain for all these years! Without seeds or cuttings.. Just revegged mama's. I do believe revegging will be common practice amongst growers to keep genetics alive. Hope all goes well with your venture!

Sadly I did not transplant or trim the rootball... I did read about that I knew that I should have, and I meant to do that but growth started quickly and now I am a little unsure as to whether or not I want to transfer it. I was concerned the stress would harm the plant and since it seems to be growing well right now I figured why try to fix something that isn't broken. If you recommend that I still transplant even after its been vegging for 2 weeks or so, then thats the way I'll go. If nothing else.. I really wanted to put it into a larger container.

My other concern with that was since there is quite a bit of new growth, would I be cutting off the new roots if I were to do that now? And if so, does that matter?

Let me assure you that you can't screw this up! Trim that rootball and transplant.. You'll be fine I promise! One or two inches off the bottom and same on the sides and transplant.Plain ole ph'd water on one side of the pot. Gotta give it a chance to dry out some. Roots grow faster if they are somewhat dry. Maybe add some KLN rooting hormone.

That new growth your concerned about is gonna be explosive!

GG is right, you gotta trim the sides and bottom or you will have issues down the road. Trust me as i am a student of Rusty too, have you read his thread yet, if not get on it asap. But i dont agree with any root hormone, just my opinion as you will be re potting in a couple weeks.

I did as Rusty did, but then put them outside. I didn't know what to expect, but what i got was monsters. Look in my Sig, they got huge with a ok yield only because i got ripped 3 times, but still got at least a qp a plant. Would have got at least 1 or 2 easy as the strains were nice, plus took 2 or 3 inside harvests before re vegging them outside. My NL got sick, it was rotted all up the main stem right below the ground and without a good trim you may have the same issue inside. But yeah trim all 4 sides and the bottom and put into fresh soil. Any flower nutes may slow the re veg too, just though of that so not sure. It might be ok now, but it will need re potted and by having the stress if any, i had non and i have pics to show you, it will be way worse when the plant completes its re veg and is ready to flower. BTW, get some clones before you flower and you can do it all over again.

I will be back too, luv the re veg, its a waste not to!

My outside re veg's and a clone from the sick NL before it got bad, which i flowered inside under my LEDs. After growing it inside, then re veg and the clone gave me this. Not the first pic i thought, see my Sig for better pics. '10 Outdoor

LST,
The reason I suggested KLN rooting hormone was that if there was a difference in my 2 inches and his,, Everybody's been fishin' before! They alway's get bigger,than when ya caught them. Less'en ya got a picture!

You ain't changed a bit! GOOD!


Peace My Brother!

Thanks for the input on trimming up the roots and repotting in new soil. I will get on that right away tomorrow during the football games. I just went and picked up some soil without nutes as everything else I had came equipped with time released nutes and I'm pretty sure that is what murdered a couple of my seedlings recently. I've been entertained by the fact that the new sprouter leaves and such that have been growing right away on the plant don't even look like they're from a cannabis plant. No jagged edges and they're just solo leaves haha. I am just thinking of someone seeing my plant that isn't supposed to... I can explain to them that it isn't cannabis, its an exotic vegetable plant, and google image search cannabis for them to prove it haha.

Anyways, once I have repotted my plant tomorrow I will take pictures and introduce you to my lady friend. Glad to hear that others are enjoying this process as well. I can't begin to tell you how excited I was to learn of it.

Hey guys, I got a silly question for Yall... Can a dwc plant be revegged? And if so what must be done to it as opposed to the dirt plant? Just curious.
;)

Yes it can! I would think that it would be even easier than soil. All ya got to do is flush the hydroton after you harvest and fill res with grow nutes. Set the clock back to 18/6 and let her ride!

Not a silly question..

GG im not understanding ya bro? Did i step on your toe? I was agreeing on the trim and put pic's up only because they were outside. And any root hormone will make you re pot to soon, which brings more stress, which is the very issue he is worried about.

And changed? Yeah i have, but thats what ya do when ya mature, right? Whats up am i miss reading this or my ''opinion'' got under your skin? I really didnt mean to, just a fact and came from Rusty.

Just trying to help bro as you know im a fellow re veg guy too and just putting my 2 cents in here.

Can ya brake down the post so i can understand?
