Nice that you asked... She is doing just fine, and she smells lovely, and I am seeing several seeds popping out here and there all over her!
Great im sure her babies would be killer
"Here's an after shot, that shows how I chop plants that I'm going to reveg:"
I've tried to reveg a few time but never had any luck other than bad. You put it under a low watt light don't you? Does the plant come back fast or does it go dormant for a while? Did the trichomes ever start turning on the SS you just chopped, mine are still lily white clear at 62 days. Very nice thread, lots of information...thanks for taking the time. Could you say a few words about your new light, do you like it? At around $400 that is a very good price, haven't worked the numbers on the costs of watts and lights but don't think it would take long to pay for itself.

My process for revegging is to simply leave enough greenery on the plant, start feeding it high nitrogen nutrient, and move it to a white light, whether MH or fluorescent. It doesn't have to be low wattage though. How long it takes is dependent on several factors, but usually within 2 weeks I'm at least seeing evidence of new vegetative growth, if not full on new growth shoots. Also, the plants that are being revegged have a much larger root system than corresponds with their size above ground, so you have to be careful not to overwater them. Less is more at this point. Patience is key.
Regarding the trichomes, on this first one I've taken down, they had begun to change, yes. The plant could have easily gone another week, but I don't have that kind of time. I have too many plants that have to be harvested soon so I can start the Skunkberry garden. This one represents a heavy indica-leaning pheno that is finishing before the others. The others will presumably be the last plants I harvest, after all the NS are chopped, and probably all the BBs too.
The new light is awesome. I don't recall if you've been following my other journal, but if not, check it out for yourself. I am a huge fan of LEDs now.

That ss plant looks gorgeous! how long do u usually reveg for before throwing back into flower?? ...or are u only reveging to take clones?
That's an interesting question to ask... I actually wasn't aware that people reveg plants only to throw them back into flowering again. I mean, it makes sense, as long as they actually veg for a while after that. But no, in my case I only reveg plants so that they can become mother plants. In fact, after revegging, I usually take cuttings just so that I can start the mother plant over again, from scratch. Reveged plants tend to be too unruly for my liking.

have been following a guys threads named DrBudGreengenes who runs perpetual harvest sog and he says he revegs plants 3 times before replacing them. That's why I asked. He says the reveg plants have a better yield. he pushes 3 gpw out of 20 oz pop bottles with cfls in a 2x2 cab......damn I have a lot to learn!! lol anyways....thanks again for your reply. Love watching your grows and learning from your experience. Keep up the good work!
I remember that guy... he's still around? Cool.
Yeah, he's right that they have a better yield because revegged plants throw out tons of new growth shoots. But what I don't like about that is it means unruly plants that go all over the place. It would be great for scrogs, I guess. But in general I find that revegged plants cause too much popcorn, or require way too much removal of unruly branches. That's just my experience though. It might work out better in a small grow using pop bottles. I've never done it that way so I don't know. But yeah, for me, I like being in control of my branches and really designing how and where they will grow. That's why I take my reveg plants and clone them, starting the mother plant over again from the clone. This way I can top when and where I want to control the growth like a bonsai tree.
Thanks for the compliments.

Sorry to interupt your thread again but I also wanted to ask if you have ever had problems with hermis from revegging? Seems like it would be stressful on the plants is why I ask. Thanks
Nope. Never had any hermies from revegging. It doesn't seem like it's stressful to them at all, actually. In fact, I would argue that because they do it so naturally it must mean they are programmed with the ability, and therefore it shouldn't cause them any more stress than when switching from vegetative growth to flowering.
Honestly, I've never had hermies at all, except for a specific feminized variety I grew one time, from Mandala Seeds. So, while I'm not making any absolute statements here, I suspect that hermies are the result more of genetics than environmental factors. I don't have the capacity to argue any facts with anyone, so I have no choice but to believe people when they say that pinhole light leaks caused their plants to hermy (for example), but in my head I'm thinking "I know for a fact certain cabinets and tents I've grown in over the years had tiny light leaks here and there and I've never had any hermies from any of it."
Literally there was only this one strain that hermied, and that was Far Out by mandala. Every one of the plants I grew from seed went hermy.

I harvested all the Blueberries tonight, except for the variegated one. I didn't take any pictures because, frankly, I was too exhausted. But whatever, I'll show them when they're dried. I just had too many things going on today. I only set aside 2 of them to be revegged, based on their blueberry smell. The rest weren't really special in any particular way. But the ones that smell like blueberry are also bluish colored with purple and red highlights, so they look nice, too. One of them stands out more than the other in terms of weight and structure, but I kept both of them in case one doesn't make it.

Hush. Do you use the same jiffy pellets for cloning as u use to start seeds or do u have a super secret method for success?

Definitely can't wait for a smoke report on these peak seeds. Might have to try them out in my next order if they are top notch. Would also like to know if they take nicely to cloning once u get to that point. Happy harvesting!!!
