Reusing harvested plants?

Can I harvest the bud off my plant and then start to grow it again? I would be able to grow it larger than the year before, yes?

Yes it is possible but its counterproductive., It will take like 6 months, in 6 months you can do 2 different plants and get 2 separate harvest before that plant start producing again!! Not worth it at all!!

leaves some healthy leaves on the stalk. mind your pests now, roots will begin dying and they are yummy to some bastards.
dont over water, keep it bright and warm in your veg room. better off taking an emergency clone instead and rooting it imo.

good luck. try it, it really is a good experience

I recently did this on an indoor grow. I harvested, left some growth on it. Trimmed about 1/3 of the root ball off, put it in some fresh soil and hit it with some N in the food. Took about 3 weeks to really take off growth wise. I'm now about 12 days from harvesting it again and looks like it'll be a better harvest than the first go around. All in all, after the initial harvest I had it under 18/6 for about 5 weeks before the flip.

^^^ that and to give them a better chance to reveg, 24/0 light for the first couple of weeks doesn't hurt. Leave some small bud sites on it, that's where the initial growth starts.

I didn't want to do 24/0 simply due to having another plant I was getting ready to flip. But yea I've read reports where they had better success under 24 hour light. My logic is that they still need a slight rest period to reduce stress after being chopped up but I could be wrong.

I agree and typically do 20/4 with my seedlings/clones but I've seen better/faster success for re-vegging. I'd only do it to save a pheno, not worth it imo when cloning is so easy to do before flipping them. But in a pinch to save a strain/pheno it's certainly a great method for that.

Lol exactly why I did it. It was just a bag seed. Was told it sour og but really who knows. Either way it ended up being pretty damn tasty. I had cut one clone that failed. I know I should have taken a couple but still being new I'm experimenting more than anything.
But I was able to reveg and took 2 successful clones from her the 2nd go around.

Reveg takes about a month after that you'll be ahead because the plants system is so developed it'll take off. So you'll save a lot of time. Some have said revegged isn't as good but for me with my grows it's been identical

There is a guy on youtube that always revegs his plants, VaderOG he seems to know his stuff so I would say its more than possible

I have reveged plants when I had difficulty getting seeds.it works but to get them back into veg and large enough to go into flowering a second time takes almost as long as growing from seed. I have wondered how many times a plant could be reveged after harvest and what effects that would have on the final product.maybe I will run that experiment after this harvest.I have one plant I would like to reveg as a mother plant
