Re-veg update
Did you know you can take a bud at harvest, root it, and grow it back out?
I’ve done it a few times in the past 30 years, figured I’d show the DGC for fun. It takes a while but if you’ve got no other option because of bad luck or bad planning or you just don’t have space to keep a ton of clones during a hunt for genetics.
First time I did it was in the 00’s after a move and leaving a mother plant with my parents( the G cut of OG) Rather than stick to the instructions I left they decided they were going to flower it. By the time I came back to pick it up it had been over a month and well into flower. Rather than lose my s#!t on them I decided to take cuts and let them keep the plant. The cut lived on with no obvious effect from re- veg. A few years later I gifted a fresh cut bud at harvest to someone, and heard through the grapevine that they had also rooted it (not my intention for the gift as I was told not to hand the cut to anyone outside our grower circle) Those experiences taught me how resilient cannabis can be.
Fast forward to last fall I saw people on DGC talking about how bad re- vegging is I decided to do this, not only to show it could be done, but that plants can remain stable and healthy after.
So here it is, a plant I call suzie 3 months after chop, growing like normal again. She will be put into flower again in about a month and I will post an update with pics of buds from before re-veg and after.
Not claiming all plants handle it well, just that it is possible, and hopefully get some growers to stop judging others for re-vegging their choice cuts, weather it be out of necessity or to save space during a sift for new genetics.
In the 2nd pic I tried to open the canopy to show the original bud site.
