I guess I started too early and the plant is revegging - is it worth saving and if so any tips??
Accidental reveg: toss or try to save it?

Save it
I’m thinking your chick is outdoors perhaps? It’s a slow deal, so wouldn't waste prime tent space but if you can keep her lit up she will reward you with a bushy monster crop of a beast. It will stall out for sure 3 maybe 4 weeks of nothing, finally single blades will pop up top, soon it will push 3 bladed fans, then 5 bladed fans and after that resume growing normal.
Be patient, don’t overwater, corner of a tent is fine or even a single cfl at 18/6 should be enough to reveg. I could be wrong here but IMHO it’s not like 400 watts will convince her to hurry up, it’s just a matter of passing time and her getting sufficient light hours to swap hormones back to veg.

Hey O - All the gals are outdoor under cover this year - three in the ground and three more in moveable tubs. So do I just leave it and let it come around??
I don‘t have the opportunity to grow outdoors nor the experience so I’m totally jealous but yes solstice happens soon and by the time reveg occurs the daylight hours should be long enough to slide into flower.

I hope it straightens out and flies right - I've got it all trellised up and I'm hoping it works out!! No twisty leaves but reverted back to singles.
If you are wanting it to revert or reveg outdoors, I have had luck with solar powered garden lights. They keep enough light in the evening to reveg a plant. Sorry if I misunderstood your concern.
If you DON'T want it to reveg AND your outdoors, you need to introduce a form of light deprivation.

I think it has already reveged - I'm just hoping it straightens out and goes back to normal. I had this happen last year as well. I think if the seeds get started too early it messes with their mind. I didn't worry about the weird ones last year but I'm gonna let this one go and see what happens.

I guess my question is - Do they go back to normal on their own?? This one has a few twisted leaves and some calycs formed but is still shooting out growth with single leaves.
Yes they will go back to growing normal on their own but I’m confident you recognize it’s a one way deal, the plant is either in veg mode or flower cycle and once it starts to reveg it switches hormones so it’s not like those old buds will ever grow again.... at least that’s my understanding and experience but I’m always happy to be corrected if anyone knows different
