It's called monster cropping. The plant explodes into bushy growth if given proper veg time.

yes it works, this little bud is starting to branch out now,way faster than expected.
I flowered the only copy and forgot to take a clone, this clone and revegging the other after harvest were my two chances at saving it.
Both worked without hermie issues so far.

The last time i did this was to save another variety where the clones got eaten up by fungus gnats. That time i took 3 clones at 7 weeks flowering, from a variety that finished in 8-9 weeks.
Mold was an issue that time and only 2 made it and they both took about 60 days to reveg. That was over 10 years ago and I’m still growing that one, nebula x blueberry.

How long did it take until your clone rooted and revegged? I know revegging and tried it once with poor results. But I never considered to root a bud of a ripe plant and then reveg it. I even had problems to root cuts from plants which showed prefowers despite 18/6. It took weeks to root them and then they grew crippled and showed signs of mutations like strange leaves.
But when I would lose my keeper I would try this, too.

"monster cropping" sounds like something for emergency. When you lose your fav strain - O.K. but otherwise I think this takes too much time and bring the risk of hermies and mutants. And in the same time I could grow some other plants. But for emergency case it's a solution when you have no solution.

Yeah sure ))) some of you guys just sticked a bud into ground...

Thus picture was taken 39 days after taking cut.
small but normal growth already. Should be able to get a cutting in a week or so.
No hermie issues with this or the revegging stump of buds that was my other chance to save this plant.

Ahh - the little ones, the runts, the muti's and the dwarfs - all interesting expressions of the cannabis plant -

[Facelesdoll]

This is great!

This plant seems immune to the monster cropping growth. Same clone from post #15 at 60 days from taking cut. One slightly deformed leaf then on to normal growth.
