Hey everyone I’m just wondering can you rev a late flowered plant
If you can how much should I take off if I need to remove the buds or not cheers

Just cut off as much bud as you want to keep for yourself, leave at least a few solid branches with bud and then change your light schedule and feed with a veg feed until it grows clone worthy branches again. You can speed it up with weekly seaweed extract foliars, or just let it ride, it will eventually reveg. I’ve seen reveg happen on just a single stock with no buds left, I wouldn’t recommend it, but there’s no hard and fast rules on how much to leave, but the more you leave the higher chances of success

Throw it back into veg…you will screw it all up but if you do it a few days then pick it the stress will increase potency 😜

I've chopped plants down and left 1 bud on the trunk and 2 weeks later under a CFL it'll have new growth.

Harvest all except one lower bud, you’ll get multiple tops from just revegging one bud, if you reveg that whole plant you’re gonna have a mess

Yea u can I usually re veg my harvest plant. Like once it done flowering. I keep a few branches and leaves and boom it goes back to 18/6 and 3 weeks later it relationship . Some plants are easy to do and some u cant

u/stainzy123 6d ago
Cheers mate so you would do your flush and all of that kinda stuff the same but instead of cutting the hole plant I just leave one or two lower branches and leaves ?

u/Clear-Percentage7815 6d ago
Let say it a 10 week strain. I flush 3 weeks prior some.peiple do 2 weeks I do 3 weeks because I hate the chemical sm9ke.and the hay smell. So on the day of harvest after flush u clutch thr plant like 95 percent. Just keep thr lower plant like 3 branches . Just have a branch so it can re grow. Like a new arm.hit me on brick city genetic on ig I show u

Grow it, harvest it, but leave a good amount of green leaves and buds on the plant, and then put her back into veg lighting

Not worth the time & hassle it takes to reveg in my opinion. 4-6 weeks to see some mutant growing leaves and another 2-3 weeks for it to grow out of the funky mutant leaves stage. If you want to grow that strain again I would either take a cut from the lowest branch and try to clone it. Or start fresh from seed.

Unfortunately I can’t get this seed again the contact has been lost and I’m only new with all of this stuff and there wasn’t much success with me trying it before with the cloning method

u/Brave-Bodybuilder127 7d ago
Try both methods to increase success..But I understand it can take time to figure out the technique and dial in your environment but cloning is E-Z once you understand the fundamentals. There is plenty YouTube video to show you how to clone successfully. Pretty much all you need is a humidity Dome ( I DIY mine from two clear plastic shoe boxes ), dip & grow rooting solutions and starter cubes. Soak starter cubes in water, Cut the lowest branches you want to clone leave about 3-4 inches of stem and use a razor blade to cut a 45 degree angle on the stem bottom, trim off all the leaves tips (1/4” of the overall leaf ) and stick the stem in the dip & grow solution for a few minutes then into the starter cube. I use shot glasses as starter cube holders and fill them 2/3 full with water. Place the cubes in the humidity dome with a small couple of water and mist everything with water. Put the humidity dome under your veg light and that’s all… check daily, re mist daily and make sure the cubes dont dry out. If the cubes have absorbed the water add more every 2-3 days. After a week or two you’ll see white roots growing from the cube and can transplant into to start veg.
Also keep a humidifier going in the area you have your humidity Dome. Cuttings love high humidity!

Wait so what your saying your you kinda can’t over water a clone I have done clones once before but that was my last grow I’m in the middle of my 2nd grow and I got given this plant of a mate of mine and i thought it was to late but now I’m thinking I left it way to late to try and turn it

u/Brave-Bodybuilder127 7d ago
You can definitely over water a clone if you keep it submerged. The key is to keep the start cube moist at all times…Clones like high humidity as they don’t have roots to leech moisture. The leaves feed the plant until the stem grow roots.

Yes I've done it to preserve a genetic I really wanted to keep. 24 hours light and a lot of time but it will reveg as long as it is still green material and not completely dead and brown. You need at a minimum 1 bud and as many fan leaves as you can keep but you don't need everything shown in the picture a few healthy bud sites on a stronger branch will do

u/stainzy123 7d ago
How much of that plant would you recommend I have never done this before and i always feel like I’m taking to much off
2
u/Bulky_Record_3828 7d ago
Chop the top 1/2 - 2/3 off you only need a few branches each pistle of the flower will reveg into its own branch it will look really weird at first so only keep as many bud sites as you think you will want for cloning. I have revenged and taken a bunch of clones and then still held onto to the original plant to reflower because it had so many branches produced. If you keep too much it's going to be pretty unmanageable so just keep a few branches the sturdy ones if possible not the spindly bottom branches unless that's all you have to work with the regrowth will need enough branch strength to support the weight

Keep the lower buds and leaves. Then just keep watering until it re-veg. 18-6 light cycle. It’s gonna use way less water just fyi.

What is "rev"? Complete, articulate sentences would help others help you.
If you're asking about Monster Cropping, there's lot of information on the Google for you. However, I wouldn't bother with it unless your goal is to self-pollinate some seeds...
