The Re-veg

[LUDACRIS]

My veg cycle is only 16/8 or sometimes 17/7. I've often thought about a longer length just for reveg, I'm pretty sure it would help certain plants with reluctant genes. If I had a bigger operation.....

The biggest improvement I made in revegging over the years was learning to trim the rootball to match the top. That not only raises your average success rate a huge amount, but it also makes the actual regrowth happen MUCH faster. You can reveg in the same container the plant flowered in, but it's a lot harder (to water accurately, mainly) and with some genetics, probably won't work at all.

I like Mr Greengenes post too.

This seems like a really easy straight forward thing to do and yet this has me thinking about the maybes.

Did you veg originally on 24 hour days? I'm working the 14/10 here.. We have a contrast.

Hey Jack....I recently re-vegged a Kali Mist I was gifted in mid-re-veg. (I just took the first cutting a few days ago) I have a 24 hour veg room that I recently went from 1000 watt MH to 400 watt MH with a typical 4 foot flourescent light to the side where I stick all the little project plants that have needs. The veg room is 24 hr light.
I'm currently re-vegging some Sweetest Cindy's and a Chemdwg that were taken as cuts from the flowering mother.
They have roots now,but are still struggling to put on the full re-veg ooomph. They are also seeded,strange I know...but it will work.
I have always re-vegged smaller plants,and ones that didn't get to far off in the flower cycle. If I did bigger plants,I always chopped them down like Mr.Greengenes says.
Other than that,it's just all 24 hour light regardless for my experience with it.

I've got my serrated bread knife ready and waiting for me at home..It's in a 5 gal smart pot now, and it'll have to stay in one, as I don't really have any appropriate 'downsize' containers as you recommend.

I'll post up pics, and then follow up pics as they progress.

you, my man, just told me the reason why everyone finds stuff, and I never do..

+rep friend..

Thanks Zendo, I was genuinely trying to help and I think only one person got the wrong end of the stick. I've found a great deal more information searching titles only, it really opens up the wealth of knowledge that IC offers.

The thread caught my eye as I'm attempting my first re-veg and I'd been searching for the same information. I found a lot of deep threads already present. I really hope this works as I've found a plant that I'm really happy with and want to keep her around for a while. Good Luck

good advice here already. i would just add that the reveg cutting is my first resort before a full reveg and often renders it un-necessary. if you realize a plant might be special mid to late flowering then take a cut off one of the lower branches you hopefully neglected to remove in your stoner laziness
can take 2-3 weeks to root but has saved a few gems for me.

There are variations to the day length but we are all on the right track.

Thanks everyone.. I'll be on the team for a while myself.

I had pretty good results revegging with my successful crops. It's really simple. Leave about 5% of the leaves on the plant and throw the lights back to 18/6. I've heard that trimming the root ball back and replacing what you trimmed with fresh soil can speed up the reveg process but i never tried that. It took about 6 weeks for me to get enough growth to where i could take cuttings for clones.

I have 2 friends that have been revegging after every harvest for 20 years now. They have always regrown their same 3 varieties and the final harvest always comes out as good as the original which is pretty darn kick ass.
