Revegging after harvest

[Hennessy1414]

Yes. Obviously, later when you have significant bud formation, you'll want to avoid foliar sprays of any sort getting on the buds themselves but since this is a thread about re-vegging we weren't talking about a flowering plant...

spanks any way! :rastasmoke:

Spanks right back atcha! Oooh! Spankin' before dinnertime? Uh oh!

The more careful you are with the roots, the lower the stress. In other words, making a clean cut is less stressful than just ripping the roots apart. Never grown in bags, but have heard root bruising/breaking can happen during transplant, due to the shifting soils, but Psycho4Bud could likely offer more on this, since I'm pretty sure he grows in bags.
I do a good flush before transplant/root trimming to remove built-up salt and to keep ph in check, but allow to dry-out before transplant. This will keep the rootball somewhat intact for the move.

I may not even need to trim up the roots as i only filled up my grow bag about 3/4 the way then soil compaction took it to about 1/2 full. so i may just take the plant out of the bag, put some fresh soil in, then put the plant back.
But i hear you on that flush. thanks for the response.

Dreadscale...what happened? How'd they turn out?

Keeko...should be fine.

Hi All, Great Replies :thumbsup:

THEY LIVE!!!

I love the reading here, great info.

I let them stay in 5 Gal containers for bout a week then did the BONSI thing. Figured I had nothing to loose, their clones are doing well, finally.

I cut the root wad to fit the new containers, minus 1" for new soil on edges and bottom. I went from 5gal to 1.5 gal. I cut root wad with a serrated knife then fluffed up the outside of root wad where soil was very compact.
I have switched all my soil to FOX FARM, Ocean Forest,great stuff all my plants are loving it.

I haven't had extraordinary results with my method, but they all survived and are beginning to veg again.

Some before and after shot shots, 14 days from harvest, and a group shot. Oh yeah the babies.

THE GIRLS LOVE PHOTO OPS.

With the babies I had a N deficiency and added Bat Guano on top and watered in, didn't seem to help. I then abused then with a chemical fertiliser and burnt them. Since then I re potted all my plants with FOX FARM soil, and invested in the whole line of their
fertilisers and supplements. You can still see the burnt leaves but they are healthy and pulling out of it. I'm using FOX FARM feeding schedule also. I'll let you know how it goes or you can help me in plant problems, if it doesn't.
Oh yeah, I am dealing with spyder mites once again.

The smallest clones in the center of photo, grew 2" overnight after first feeding with new food.
Thanks Again for the great stuff, keep it coming.

The tips of the new growths are yellowed throughout the plant, so should I now be thinking a N deficiency instead? I added some lime (thinking Ca def.) to the soil and crushed up some and dissolved in water and have been giving her straight water since then, including yesterday. Should I water tomorrow or Saturday with a weak N solution, or do something different?

Dread: Fantastic job. I get great results with a butcher knife. Less tearing (damaging) of the roots. Plus, I don't excite 'em any extra. I know it's standard during transplant, but I'm guessing they're pretty excited as it is, lol.

Texas: Bummer. Can sometimes be a trial and error thing, but not too difficult. Perhaps next time. :thumbsup:

CCP: How long have they gone without a veg fert? After the last flowering flush and harvest, I start veg ferts when first transfered back to the veg room, but at lesser strength. You keeping an eye on run-off ph?

[Dreadscale]

Thanks for the kind words Rusty.

CultureCherryPopper do you have some pix of the problem?
If just the tips are yellow and not the whole leaf being light green to yellow, it sounds like a burn to me, not N deficiant.

But then again, I'm no xpert, so more input from the xperts would help you a lot.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU:hippy:

[CultureCherryPopper]

No pics unfortunately, but the tips are all yellowed, even new growths, leading to eventual necrosis of the whole leaf. This reveg experience has become more an issue of plant troubleshooting. SooOOoo....looks like I gotta get myself to Lowes for a pH kit, perhaps a thermometer/hygrometer too. Maybe some soft white CFLs. Maybe some flat white paint, I don't know, I don't know if I'll have time. I love Blueberry. :smokin:

So, looks like I'm going to do a flush Sunday. Maybe she's burned from too much Calcium added as of late? Or the pH is off? These are the only two options I see because I did a thorough flush twice before harvest. IF I should try something else, lemme know, because I'm struggling here.
