Why Re-Veg?
Re-vegging cannabis is the process of encouraging a cannabis plant that has already flowered and produced buds to grow new vegetative shoots. Re-vegging can be done for a number of reasons, including:
-To produce clones or seedlings from a mother plant
-To increase the yield of a given plant
-To produce more uniform bud sizes
Re-vegging is most commonly done with mother plants, as they can be reused multiple times to produce new clones or seedlings. However, it is also possible to re-veg a flowering plant that has already produced buds. This can be done either by returning the plant to the vegetative stage with extended periods of light, or by taking cuttings from the plant and rooting them in vegetative media.
When to Re-Veg
The timeframe for re-vegging cannabis is entirely dependent on the age of the plant. The younger the plant, the easier it will be to re-veg, as the plant will have a higher ratio of vegetative to flowering growth hormones. In general, it is easier to re-veg a plant that is up to 2 months old, after which it becomes increasingly difficult. Some experienced growers have been able to successfully re-veg plants that are 3-4 months old, but this is far from the norm and usually requires taking special care of the plant (such as providing extra lighting).
How to Re-Veg
Cannabis can be re-vegged after it has been harvested. This is a process where the plant is cut back to its roots and then allowed to grow again. This can be done by taking a cutting from the plant and then planting it in moist soil. The cutting will then need to be kept in a dark place until it sprouts new leaves.
Cut off all leaves below the node you want to grow from
Re-vegging is the process of taking a cannabis plant that has begun to flower and forcing it to grow vegetatively again. This can be done by simply interrupting the light cycle, which will cause the plant to revert back to its vegetative state, or by topping the plant (cutting off the main stem), which will cause it to grow new vegetative growth from the cut site.
Re-vegging can be a useful technique for a variety of reasons. For example, if you have a plant that is not flowering well, re-vegging can allow you to start over with a new light cycle and try again. Or, if you want to clone a particular plant, re-vegging can allow you to take a cutting from a desired mother plant while it is still in its vegetative state.
To successfully re-veg a cannabis plant, there are a few key things to keep in mind. First, cut off all leaves below the node you want to grow from – this will help ensure that your new growth has enough energy to get going. Second, make sure your light cycle is set up so that your plants are getting at least 18 hours of light per day – this will help them grow quickly and vigorously. Finally, be patient – it can take up to two weeks for your plants to really start putting on new growth after being forced into flowering.
Plant the stem in soil or hydroponics
Re-vegging is the process of forcing a cannabis plant that has already flowered/budded to produce new vegetative growth. Doing this correctly will result in the plant growing new stems and leaves, but no flowers/buds. Re-vegging can be useful if you want to save a mother plant, or if you want to use a flowering plant as if it were a vegetative one.
The first step in re-vegging is to cut the main stem of the plant about 6 inches (15 cm) below the last set of leaves. You can leave any smaller side stems intact. Next, plant the stem in soil or hydroponics and water it well. Put it under grow lights (LED lights are best) and wait for it to sprout new growth. This can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks.
Once the plant has sprouted new growth, you can treat it like any other vegetative cannabis plant. Give it plenty of water and nutrients, and make sure it gets at least 18 hours of light per day.
Put a small fan on the plant to help it grow
Re-vegging is the process of forcing a cannabis plant to begin growing vegetatively again after it has already begun flowering. Many growers do this in order to keep their plants from getting too big, or to produce clones (cutting of the plant that can then be grown into a separate plant). Re-vegging can also be useful if you want to change the sex of your plant (from male to female, or vice versa).
In order to re-veg a cannabis plant, you will need to cut off all of the flowers and leaves. You can then put a small fan on the plant to help it grow. The plant will also need 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness each day in order to re-veg properly.
Conclusion
Re-vegging cannabis is a process of forcing a cannabis plant that is in the flowering stage to revert back to the vegetative stage. This can be done by changing the light cycle from 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness to 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness. To re-veg, remove all flowers/buds from the plant and cut it back to about 6 inches. Within a few weeks, the plant will begin to grow new leaves and will be in the vegetative stage again.
