OK, I've read different things about this and I'm just wanting some of my fellow growers knowledge on this subject? Just wondering if anyone has tried it and what was the results?
Thanks.
Thanks.

yeah, you can...just leave a few branches on your harvested plant, give it 24/0 light and lots of nitrogen. In a couple of weeks, it should start veg growth again. I've done it a couple times. I got lighter yields on the second harvest though...but that might have been my fault, idk...

It's not recommendable for a new grower to fiddle with re-vegging.
It can pose a lot of problems and the plants need more than average attention, there is not much room for error.
If you choose to do it anyway, search the forum for 're-veg', 're-vegging' etc. There are a lot of good threads on the subject.

It's quite common for re-vegged plants to produce less, mostly due to strain or error but also due to the plants general condition, having to re-veg.

Fiddle with revegging? You put the light cycle back to 24/0 and play the waiting game. It did'nt require any more of my attention than any other plant, it was for all intents and purposes, just another plant in the veg tent.

You have to be careful with how you harvest the plant if you want a proper re-veg without problems and without too reduced 2nd yield.
Most new growers might chop too many leaves off thereby drowning the plant.
You also need to leave enough bud sites on the plant to allow for new growth.
Watering is a much more sensitive matter when it comes to re-vegging as well, the plant is already stressed because of harvesting and errors can easily kill a plant.
Overwatering is very common, as is over fertilizing.
It's not just as easy as changing the light schedule.
There is no need to do a 24/0 btw, 18/6 or 20/4 works just fine, and saves electricity.
You shouldn't try to re-veg the first plants you grow, wait until you have more experience that goes for every new grower.

I stated that it was as simple as changing the light cycle because that's exacctly how i learnt to reveg. It required no special attention. I harvested the plant, left a handful of buds and all of the fan leaves, and treated it no different to any other plant. It did just fine and it yielded exactly as that strain had always yielded based on it's size. And i am aware that there is no need for 24/0 but that is how i do it. I have no science to back up my reasoniong but i have always figured that if i'm re-vegging, then it will be a lot more aware of zero darkness than a slight change in daylight hours. I also use 24/0 because it means whatever time of day or night i can pop my head in and it's all nice and bright and i don't have to fart around finding a torch

Perhaps you have more experience than most people who ask for help in this section.
I'm not saying re-vegging is brain surgery but it is not something I would ever recommend a new grower to do.
If you have a few (I'd recommend several) grows on your back and you have a proper setup and you know all your gear, then it can be a piece of cake.
But I have seen many people fail at re-vegging, they rush into things too quickly.
It's much easier to overwater and over fertilize a re-vegging plant than a 'normal' veg plant, be it from clone or seed, especially for new growers.
I agree with the 'whatever time of day or night' point, it's a good idea if you can afford the electricity anyway, makes the whole process easier.
I can't count how many times I've waited for the light to go on so I could check my babies.

We will have to agree to disagree, i find no issue with re-veg be it overwatering or fertilising (i didn't bother fertilising mine whatsoever) and would happily recommend it to anyone if it would suit their needs.

I am doing a reveg currently and all is well. This winter was my first indoor grow. I think overwatering would be the main problem. They don't need much.And 24/7 lights seems to be working well for me.

Aye we will.
As I said before your experience with growing means you can't really compare it with new growers attempting re-vegging when a lot of them still don't have a full understanding of basic cannabis growing.
I'll maintain that overwatering and other problems can occur during re-vegging, and that these problems are more likely to happen compared to a 'normal' veg plant.
A google and forum search on most cannabis boards show that I'm not alone with these theories.
For some people I'm sure it's very easy, for others it can be very hard, especially when you are just learning about cannabis growing.

I think one thing to take into mind is that some people can and some people can't. There are ten thousand posts relating to failing to simply germinate a seed. So i cannot really say if it is easy or not, or whether it is genuine user incompetence or not.

I have to agree with new folks not really trying a reveg. It seems like they are too busy overnuting and overwatering to begin with on their first grow. So a reveg would most likely mean disaster for most. I am a newbie at indoor and currently having a succesful reveg going. And it was because I spent lot's of time doing research and getting advice from a few solid members who have made it so i've gotten this far throughout this current grow and my last. Dozer

I am currently reveging one of the two plants I grew over this past winter. I am nearly a rank beginner. So far, my Raspberry Cough (fem) is doing nicely ... growing enormous lopsided new fan leaves under 96 watts of T5. I did run into an overnute problem early on (the harvested plant was dying of N deficiency), and a flooding with 1 gram of ammonium nitrate caused some fierce but contained nute burn. But she survived that and is still alive. With the hot summer coming, this was more of an entertainment activity than a serious grow, but I am learning about reveg by experience. I WAS careful not to overwater her until the stumps of her former flowering branches were well-dried. cn

I have read alot of folks say to just leave some leaves and stems and they will reveg. I don't get it. I left 12- 15 small buds after harvest and most are where all the new growth originated from!And I think overwatering is the biggest obstacle during reveg. I have one that I watered more than the rest and it's just starting to take off. 4 weeks later. Probably going to ditch it. I will post some comparison pics tomorrow of too much water during reveg vs just enough. This lady is 4 weeks since harvest treated right! The smaller plant is the same strain and age from seed for a comparison. Dozer

I have to agree with 24/7 light. That way they have no doubht they are starting again. If not won't a few just reflower? I have one who is growing new white hairs already. I think she is confused. Wouldn't dare do less then 24/7 lights during reveg. I will post that pic tomorrow also.
