regenerate

[Zel]

thank you OZ!
It has been almost two weeks now! have light and water, the nutrient .... but still no sign of life on this planet....I am crossing my toes and wait!!!!
Should I replace part of old soil for some new one? or should I change to a bigger pot and add some new one? thanks again for all the help and answers.

My pless. dude.
It does take awhile as the plants go into dormancy for a while. Wether it regens or not will probably depend on how far back you chopped the previous season. I cut back to where the buds an branches are too small to bother harvesting. Those tiny insignificant little branches and buds will grow to be alot bigger.
Re soil mine are out doors. When plants go into dormancy I cover with a layer of chickenshit then a layer of dried lawn clippings. I only use what I make in my own garden. A good worm farm is essential for seedlings but is a little impractical for larger plants unless you have a big operation. Just cant make enough worm castings.
The standard thing to do I've heard is if you cut back the plant you trim the back the roots a little. This can be an issue doing hydro but I know sweet f a about hydro. Also I've heard you put the lighting cycle back to vegetative phase to regen. Needs to trick plant into the idea that spring is here now-WAKE UP U M.F.!
If u r outdoor wait & feed. In spring regen should occur. If u r hydro maybe trim roots just a smidge u say u have nutrient so shouldnt need feeding, change light phase back to vegetative. cross fingers. I also suspect genetics may help but not critical.
Good luck hang in there dude. GIVE IT TIME.
Let us know how you go. heres my regen

Well i,v regenrated lots of plants into nice mothers and all i do is cut it back leaving the shitty lil buds at the base , stick em onto 24 light with a high nitrogen diet and wait about a month .
Don,t try changing the soil or messing with the roots as the plant is undergoing an unnatural faise in going backwards , and they can be against the idea of going from autum to summer in a day ,and somtimes go belly up.
So don,t give any unecissery stress.

the easiest way to insure they regen if you are using containers is to transplant them into slightly larger containers with a nice vegetative mixture of dirt (high N & K) in addition to leaving an ample amount of green growth at the bottom of the plant. leave a few small buds just in case one or two dry out.

i think stress is a good thing. thru stress hermies are eliminated as are the weaker plants. plus a little stress early in life seems to result into a sweeter and stronger finished product.
