Revegging a male after polination ?

Most won’t reveg.
Assuming you want to keep your male and/or keep plant numbers down, you have two easy alternatives:
Flower a single branch of the male. Any branch on 12/12 will flower, while the rest of the plant will not.
Or
graft a branch of the male onto the female target plant.
Either way you’ll get far more pollen than you need, and save the male.
I’m sure you have a reason not to just take a clone of the male to flower, right? That’s what 99% of people would do here, of course! ;-)

Hehehe. Well that’s another story!
Try the reveg. It may well fail.
As a final alternative to keeping the male alive, you might do a search for pollen storage - it keeps well if you’re careful. Also, pollen can be cut with starch or flour to greatly increase how far it goes when dusting. Most people use much more pollen than necessary....
Cheers & good luck!

Depends on genotype, nld heritage strains will be predisposed to reveging.
I have some chem4dd males that are revegging atm. They have flowers but not dropped much pollen..the balls are dropping off before opening.
Keep removing the flowering parts. Some hormones have a part in it.

My personal recommendation is yes do it. It is best way to see if any male intersex surfaces. I have reveged many males over the years and culled many of them due to intersex. I very rarely do it now because of age but it is a great practice.

A few years ago i put my best female plant back to vegetative state. It was a monkey haze F2 and she lost her best trait: the incense smell after burning.
I don't know if it was reveg process or the environmental conditions that changed, but second and third grows were not satisfaying. That's why I don't reveg anymore.
Anyone experienced phenotypical changes after revegging?

It could be environmental conditions as well. First grow plants were overcrowded and seeded, that's why I was waiting for better after revegging... But no.
