Regrowing plants

[Brown Hornet]

Just wondering if anyone regrows there plants by pumping the lights back up after a cycle instead of using new clones/seeds? Also can you clone off a plant that has been reverted and get the same result as the previous cycle? Have heard some mixed results on this, some good some bad...

it's called reveg and some peeps do it perpetually as they have no space for a mother plant.

 

So yes it's fine and no I haven't had any probs when I did it (emergency.....massive clone failure)

also, some suggest that if you take a plant to maturity and reveg potency increases. Do it a 2nd time, increase again. Third, increase. But then after that the plant is expected to lose potency through subsequent veg/flo cycles.

another bloody myth for you mythbusters to fix. maybe you should be the pioneer baron work it out for us and show us how you went

I might see if I can bring a crop to harvest without killing it 1st. I'm currently tossing up whether to reveg my whole flowering space but I won't have anything to compare the result to properly. OTOH I can play these out and just replace them with new.

Don't wanna steal bufo's thunder........(no dis intended bufo ) but what a crock of shit. I mean if u believe as I do that genetics determine potency, than how does taking cuttings from the same plant increase it's potency?

 

 

Oh and Baron I'm not trying to dis u either.....your tenacity to explore alternatives options against popular opinion is to be highly commended and respected.

 

 

cheers

I think the theory is that a more mature plant produces better bud. Gotta suggest it's a pretty popular theory, unlike some of my other ideas. Theory also sets well with the experience of those who have done it in that once the plant gets 'too old' peak flowering is past.

 

If I don't sort out my small cupboard shortly I'll be joining the more conventional crowd.

[BaronS]

also, flatcat_auz, the theory is _NOT_ that clones are better than parent. This is purely about the flo/veg/flo/veg/flo/veg of a single plant.

 

Of course, as the plant is put through veg cycles it's a bloody convenient time to take clones of your known good stock. The potency of these is a separate question, concerning 'clones of clones', and being something I have done but not through enough 'generations' to claim anything. Unlike animal cloning where artificial means is used replace (or splice) embryonic DNA and result in similar but not quite identical progeny plant cloning _should_ result in 'continuance' of the _exact same_ DNA.

 

We don't actually 'clone', we 'propogate from cutting'. Think of a lizard tail growing a new lizard.

Has anybody ever tried to reveg a plant that has had PGRs used on it?

what are PGR's ??
