Re-vegging after harvest new growth in 12 days

[ohioboy]

Thanks Boatshoe! I would love to see some pics of your ladies if you wanna share...your name makes me think of the song "boats and hoes" Lol.
The first vegg was right at 35 days/5 weeks from seed, and the first flower was 59 days/8.5 weeks.

Step brothers lmfao

Definitely helpful. I'm thinking I may give it a shot with mine once I harvest.

Also was your 2nd harvest as potent as the 1st?

Awesome to hear so many may give it a try

This is my first attempt at trying this. But i will definitely report back after the second harvest and know....

The plants are chugging along great and starting to bud/frost up. So finally some close ups with something to show. Heres a few pics from the 29th, day 38 of re-flower.

This is so amazing! I just had someone ask me if you can re veg and flower and plant after harvest and I said I did not think. Guess I have some news for them. This blew my mind lol great job man it looks amazing.! Can't wait to see how it finishes.

This is a plant and bud photo section so here is a bunch of photos of the plants there first time around

First day of flower 2/5

Day they got stuffed into the closet 2/10

First day after moving 2/24

3/14 Discovered i had a friend chilling on my light protecting the plants. Since he was green he was given the name 420.

Some miscellaneous pictures taken 3/18-3/21

3/27 420 slacking on the job but still appears to be alert

More miscellaneous pictures taken 3/30

3/31 420 is hanging out by his water bowl and appears to not be looking well. Either hes really high from all the smoke constantly in the room or he has killed all the bugs and is possibly starving. So i tell him thanks for keeping the plants bug free and put him outside.

More pics taken on 4/1

Harvest day 4/5

Re-vegg and transplant photos

I've never thought to make a SCROG net like that before! I always buy cheap hammocks at a swap meet and staple them to a wooden frame lol. Definitely a better set up being able to weave your own! What kind of cord or string do you use?

 

[Annabanana]

Hey RDoo
I'm doing my first indoor grow atm and know nothing about re-vegging sorry, so may I ask please - how much of the plant must be saved in order to re-use it? And what about the flush that is required (I am told!) before harvest? Are you still able to do that if you intend to use the plants again? Your plants look lovely and healthy btw!

 

[Annabanana]

Oh and one more question...why did you transplant after the first harvest? Do the plants always require more space to grow more roots? Or was it to allow the plants to grow bigger than they were originally?

 

[greengostarr]

I'm also revegging my best plant from the last harvest, primarily because I wanted to guarantee a continuation of the phenotype.
Mine was in a DWC and, after harvest, I just popped it, net pot and all, into a larger pot with clay pebbles and then into a top feed recirculating system. New growth appeared after only nine days and she went crazy. Once the new growth was well established I took her out of the net pot and chopped most of the roots off and repotted her in the larger pot and she didn't even bat an eyelid.

I also tried cloning some of the smaller buds but only ended up with two clones taking root out of 10. One of them started throwing out new growth about a week after the mother, but only sent out one growing shoot that split into two tips, like a plant topped at the first node and the growth has been very slow. The other bud clone only started revegging about 10 days later, but it looks like there will be more shoots than the other.

I took 8 cuttings from the revegged mother the other day for the next crop and you can barely notice - the growth is still dense and very vigorous.

Here are some blurple pics to show how they're doing with the reveg mother dominating the pics.

The first bud to start revegging can be seen at the bottom front here

and the other one is front centre here, but it is so small that you can't even see the growth

The two back plants, centre and right, are clones of the same age - the one on the left in DWC and the other in soil. I'm amazed that the one in soil is far outpacing all the others. I chose to have one in soil to compare soil against DWC for both growth and bud development and also because I had no space in the DWC nor spare pump to do another top feed.

Ya its nice doing it this way cause you can totally customize the size of your net and the size if the individual squares. I just used the cheapest string i could find at the local hardware store. I have used several different ones and they all worked well except one. Its tensil strength wasn't very good. I would say as long as you cant break the string by pulling on it your good to go.

Below is a good photo showing how much was left on the plants. And dont worry about losing the bud left on the plant, it can still be harvested later. I plucked some of the old stuff off a couple weeks ago and it was suprisingly still pretty good. And the plant quit feeding the old buds long before so they were actually dry enough to stick directly into a bowl and be smoked. As far as the flush i did my normal 1 week flush, and didnt give the plants nutrients again till about 3 weeks after harvest day. And thanks for the compliments Anna! I would love to see your first grow, do you currently have a grow journal on it?

 

[rdooski3]

It was for both reasons. To give the roots more room to grow, and to allow the plant itself to get bigger. It does seem like it would have worked fine without doing it, but i can guarantee everything will be happier because of it.

Awesome work green! I was curious about re-growing in a hydro setup. Thanks alot for the information. Everything looks happy and healthy. I was curious since you said the soil one is outpacing the others and i didn't see any thermometers, do you keep a good eye on your res temps? I see alot of people using those types of containers and i know i would personally have a real hard time keeping the temps low and run out of room for the roots. For example this is 1 plant in a 10 gallon resivor and it was only a week or so into flower.

 

[greengostarr]

Cheers Rd, awesome roots.

I have no major issues with res temp as the air temp at the top of the reservoirs is only around 20 C (68 F) (Thermometer is sitting above the lights and is currently reading 22.6 C). However there were a rare few days when the air temp outside the tent hit 28 C (82 F) and I was slightly concerned, but it cooled down very quickly afterwards. Luckily it doesn't get too hot where I am.

This is only my second DWC and I haven't had problems running out of root space. That being said, I pulled up 3 plants mid flower in the last grow and the monster cropped clones will be very small as I will have to flip soon due to the size of the others, so I don't see any issues for the current grow.

BTW You can see a bud from the reveg in June's Nug of the month contest.

Nice ya im in one of the hottest parts of the country and temps are a constant battle for me. But i would recommend trying a test resivor and keeping the solution in it at a constant 50-60 degrees. I promise the results will blow you away. The cooler temps allow for more oxygen and a much happier root system. I was able to achieve the temperature by using a ice chest as my resivor and swapping out 2 frozen watter bottles twice a day. But with your cooler temps i bet you would only have to swap once a day. I can give a 100% guarantee you will love the results if you give it a try.

This is just 1 plant. And it was only vegged 30 days from seed with some cfl bulbs, and flowered with a 400w hps.

 

[greengostarr]

He's growing in an esky

Great idea if heat's an issue. Nice plant.

I suspect if I added a frozen container to the res the water would get too cold. I seem to remember that 20 C was an ideal temperature for a DWC and mine is sitting around that. I'll have to do a search on that again.

 

[rdooski3]

Lol thanks brother

I was using a thermometer that showed in Celsius and would stay between 12c-18c so i was a bit off thats roughly 55f-65f. But in a 10 gallon resivor when the temp got to 18-19c i would add the 2 1 liter frozen water bottles and it would bring it down to about 11c. And then i would let it drift back up. So it would definitely be different with a different resivor and bottles, but you just gotta test and figure out whats needed. Sorry if im coming off like a jerk, i feel like i am when i try and give recommendations to someone that obviously is experienced and has nice plants to prove it. I just try and pass on the things that have worked for me in the hopes that everyone can have the best plants possible.

 

[rdooski3]

And i had never heard the word "esky" before and had to look it up. You must be Australian. That's awesome! I would love to vist there one day.

Green, you posted earlier that you took 8 cuttings from the revegged mother for the next crop. I was always told and read that it shouldn't be done from a plant that has flowered. So it can be done with good results? Thanks

Well, my indoor second grow included 3 clones from a revegged mother and I then let them flower and revegged them. Apart from the genetics being rubbish they thrived. I see no reason why it won't also work with superior genetics.
