well what i did with mine is...when i got done budding i choped off all the big colas and side branches and left a stubby small plant with bud material and all the leaves i could keep on there(the secret to re-vegging is the more veg left on the better chances and quicker revegging yull get) mine went throgh a period of almost a month before all the dead buds fell off and like a miracle it just started to grow back,and when i say grow back it grew like a weed..ha..... oh and i just put it back under my veg light and kept the nutes the same as if it was a vegging plant(maybe thats why it took a month to really start going....but it work superbly for me.
