Revegging after harvest

[Rusty Trichome]

Hell of a great job. I love the bravery in even attempting a downsize re-veg, let alone having success the first time. Two thumbs up. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
Seems most people tend to avoid experimenting, but I think that if you have the means and experience to try, it helps learn exactly you can do, what you can't do, and how to correct unfavorable techniques. Best of luck to ya.

Likely fine doing the light stress and aspirin at the same time. Never tried. With the aspirin, I would sneak-up on a max dosage. Sometimes, if dosage is too light it can also take too long for results. Of late I have been using 1 to 1 1/2 aspirin to a 1/2 gallon of water. 3 or 4...sometimes 5 waterings in a row. (following normal water/nute schedule) Also depends on size of aspirin.
Stressing two clones at same time, makes it much easier. Using a stronger dilution in one, a weaker solution in the other, see which solution better delivers the results you want. I've heard you can freeze pollen for a while till needed, but I've never really done it. I've kept it in the fridge for a couple weeks with no problems, tho.

CCP: Bummer. Sorry it hasn't worked for ya yet. Do you know what happened? Was it a progressive meltdown, or an overnight thing?
Once you get the hang of it, you'll be surprised how well and how fast it works. Most of the time. I lose the battle on occation, too. But even with all that trauma to the roots and foliage, they come back strong, and fuller than the first time through. Plus, they're great for mother plants if you so desire.
With how, what and why I grow, re-vegging makes my hobby much easier, with quick, quality results. Worth the effort, and saves a bit of money not having to fill pots full on every grow.

Nice thread!!

Im going to try revegging for the first time with this grow... Im pretty much outa seeds and Ive always sucked at cloning. Im hoping I can reveg and hermie these bad girls to keep me in seeds for years, so this should be fun. Just wanted to say thanks for the good info!

carinia thanks for your input.

This thread is taking on a life of it's own with all the great replies that have come in.

I'm getting some great information, THANKS EVERYONE

As far as the cloning I dubbed myself the worst cloner ever.
Since I ran onto a thread about bubbler cloning I switched to that style and I have yet to loose a clone in a bubbler.

All you need is a container, I use a coffee can.
an air pump from an aquarium or similar with a hose and a 1 to 4 inch air stone, stone depends on container size
a low wattage light, I use a 30W t5 but CFL would work great
some aluminum foil
and some H2O

Just make your cuttings long enough to barely hit the waters surface.
stick them through foil turn on the bubbles and wait from 4 to 10 days. " PEZ take about 14 days but finally root up"
I keep Temp. around 70f.
check water level every now and then

When rooted I remove them carefully "not to harm roots" and plant into a small container of Fox Farm, Ocean Forest, I should probably use Happy Frog, I get a little tip burn before they are well established.

I have had such good luck with this I have donated a lot of clones.
"I can only use so many"

NO DOME NEEDED

Re-vegging affords the opportunity to practice your cloning, too. Many side and 'under' branches to choose from. Leave remaining branches for further vegging and flower. :thumbsup:

If stressing for fem pollen, be sure to mark which plant you're working with, and discard soil when done. Soil will likely be depleted when done anyway, but if soil with GA, Aspirin or silver nitrate are re-used, it may contaminate future grow. :jointsmile:

To be honest, I have no idea what was wrong. I'm actually running an experiment right now to maybe determine the problem. I have some seedling started in the same soil I used to see if perhaps something was wrong with it. So far, I have one seedling developing it's second set of fan leaves and two more are emerging just out of the soil. So 3/4; trying different germination techniques as well. The first seedling looks good so far, but I guess I won't really know until it/they progress(es) a lot further. Also, I was wondering if adding a bit of a rooting hormone might help the seedling, so I might try with the last one if it sprouts. Honestly, I don't see why people don't experiment more, I learn the best through trial and error. Just grabbed a few random bag seeds and started a side project.

Yeah experimenting is great, seems all my grows are one big experiment. ALL as in 2

Couple of pix 39 days from harvest. This one is a keeper. The new Mother. The other 2 are still living but not really THRIVING.
Repotted into 3 gal Yesterday, plants weren't as rootbound as I expected.

Also my PEZ and a NL 22 days into 12/12.

Lookin' great. Wouldn't give up on the slow-pokes, tho. Sometimes it takes a little longer to see results.

Looking good, you're success prompted me to try re-vegging, and I must say it was quite easy, (or I got lucky).......just left a few leaves, flushed, gave her 1/2 veg nutes and switched back to 24/0.

I've put her into 18/6 now that a few new shoots are appearing, we'll see were it goes from there..........

Looks fucking great man, I'm definitely giving this a try when i get the chance.

Dreadscale: Still doing the aspirin thing? How's it turning out?
