I believe I read somewhere that if you're careful and your stains are sturdy sometimes you can harvest the majority of a plant then force it to re-veg after the growing cycle is over. Does anybody have information on this? Are there ways to increase the odds? I assume you'd lop of the 90% of the plant, transplant into a larger pot if needed, leave some buds, and then put it on 20/4 or 24/0 (probably the later)
found some. Apparently it's called revegging How To Reveg - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums
you should do a search on here for revegging, there are lots of groovy guides . I have revegged a couple of my girls in the past, its real easy. I left just less then the bottom 3rd of the plant but you can leave even less. Then just flush and treat her as a a veggy again with veggy light cycle and nutes as you said. Good luck
Here's a good link http://forum.grasscity.com/advanced-growing-techniques/291687-bonsai-mums-guide.html S.S.
Ha, it's in the bonsai mum thread. No wonder I couldn't find it. I must have read that thing like 4 times last year. Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. I plan on using a leaching solution, is this a bad idea? I should probably skip it and just use water eh? Was the flush you mentioned intended to clear out salts or leaching solution?
yes the flush is to remove some of the salt buildup and flowering nutes. You should do it, I revegged mine and then cloned them during veg so I didn't have to do it again. Good luck
