Three times is due to diminished returns..each reveg will be a little less IME..

I thought I had some pics..ill check after work...But I would cut the plant to size for their space...room or cab...Then u take all the end /cola buds off..then you cut out all the bud you can, leavin as many healthy leaves as possible...I gave a dark cycle 24-48 hrs...then back in flower with fresh nutes(hydro)..this is the time for root trimming if you are in dirt...good luck

Re-vegging is easy, I've done several strains with excellent results.

Leave some viable shoots and leafs - start back into low grow nutes and 18/6 to 24/0 lighting. Gradually build growth back, build nutes up, prune for proper structure.

I've read that multiple stressing a plant w/ flower and re-veg is detrimental, and can affect all aspects of production eventually. Better to keep a mother plant, and clone from her - switch mothers every few generations, keep a clone and flower the mom...

revegging more than once gives ya too much popcorn and spindly branches IMHO. i dont ever reveg more than once to take clones

Yes and no I guess is the truthful answer..It still runs like the champion she is,would hate to lose her..But either my memory is bad,go figure, or It is not quite as strong as it was....There is a lot more competion in my rooms now,so that could be it...I will be revegin my GrindHouse Pheno's Keepin the seed plant as a mother as long as I can...that means I will not take them to the very end of the flower cycle..the farther down the road to death the harder it is to rejuv IME...good luck feel free to hit me with any ????

Hey greenpinky I'm on my 4th reveg and it's the best grow yet. I have no photos of the 4th grow posted yet but if u go to my photo album you'll see my 1st,2nd,and3rd grows with the same 2 plants. Oh, the strain is bubba kush and it's boomin big time. I'll post some pics of the 4th grow probably tomorrow. My plants are 17mths. old and the smoke is as good as it was the 1st time. Good old bubba kush, um!

i have reveg'd so many plants it's not even funny...lol. too lazy to clone or the timing doesnt work out. usually if i find a real nice pheno i will reveg the plant. i just place them back into 18/6 lighting and lightly water. thats it. a couple of weeks and i look for new growth.

here is my latest reveg..

not much to it really. cut most of the top growth off. While making usre to not over saturate the medium before doing this. Not usually a problem because you are harvesting said plant. Throw it back into veg 24hr light is best/necessary. dont baby it too much, keeping on the drier side of watering and feed a higher N veg food. Wait at least 3 weeks before expecting to see any real new growth.

Hope this helps.

Peace

I have had strains that would re-veg easy as hell, and I've had strains that just would not re-veg at all, I just tried to re-veg a strain of Magenta 99 that was burgundy-purple and dank as hell with no regrowth at all, she just sat there and died over 3 to 4 weeks. It doesn't hurt to try though.....
