Reverting a flowering plant

sirsmokalot989 · 10-04-2010, 07:24 PM

Ok so I put up a post a while ago asking whether or not you can and if it effects the outcome
I have finally harvested my second generation trainwreck and reverted it again with new growth visible the stalk on this plant is huge like a mini tree... This will be my third crop off of this plant... I've been expirementing with cutting clones off of a flowering plant and reverting a flowering plant with great success
I've tried it with a few different strains and have had all of them revert for me
My question is can growing a plant like this create stronger thc in the plant? My logic being that it's a bigger stronger plant all around
Also is there any thing in the plant itself that degrades?

It won't get stronger but refining your grow...after the third time, you probably really know the plant, it will be the best it can be. Its been stated that the THC won't vary more than 10-15% from the worst the plant can do to the best it can do. It's interesting for sure.

I don't really know if there is a clear answer on the next question either...does the plant degenerate over time? We've had some Mom's for years and had no degrading but lots believe there is a degrade over time.

We usually take clones in the first few weeks in flower. Revegging takes such a long time but is fun to watch the plant come alive again with new growth.

Hope your reveg goes well!

isnt THC genetic? from what the "clubs" tell me the only thing you can do to get the peak THC from the plant is take care of it, perfectly. i thought it was weird yet made some sense..... any truth to that??

Absolutely. The better you grow a certain plant the better it will be.
Course if you grow it shitty but still finish it you should only lose 10-15% of the potency.

I read peoples posts that have never taken clones, just keep revegging. Sounds familiar

I have tried to reveg 2 plants after harvest but never got em to take again. Good for you

I find revegging from late in flower takes too long, I'd only do it if I'd killed the cuts by accident.

Cloning works very well for me, one just has to plan ahead

Thank you guys for your help... Dan you are da weed man... Jenna always great advice...the club told me the same thing and so says everything online
I actually just took my first tray of 50 clones to my dispensary in an attempt to start making some extra cash unfortunately I had I tiny path of algea on the rockool and he wouldn't take them... But he gave me really good advice as to how to clone to their standards and I appreciate every bit of that help... They buy clones for 5-6$ and sell them for 12 plus tax
I do mine on the street for 5 to fellow cardholders and they do great
But on another note I took my trainwreck mama to week nine this last crop and I still got her to revert... Possibly from some of the lower underdeveloped parts... But she gave me a total of four ozs indoors along with four other strong plants that came in about 1 oz a piece... But the trainwreck is the cream of the crop for sure
She gave me tight tight nugget of some stinky trainwrecky stench everyone knows it's trainwreck when I walk in the room but I guess I will run her a third time through and see how she treats me again
I love everything about these plants and would still grow it if it becomes legal this November in California I have my fingers crossed... They've arrested me four times for growing this plant and I don't think that's right... It's nature
But again thank you everybody for your help

Good luck on the clone sales. Geeze, wish I could buy clones of trainwreck here... or anything really

Jenna_Grows · 10-05-2010, 07:17 PM

9 weeks is really good! What size pot are you using in flower? When you reveg...do you trim the roots? I found two schools of thought on that.

Hope California takes a huge step forward in November.

sirsmokalot989 · 10-05-2010, 09:21 PM

You and me both
I have the twreck in a 33 gall haven't trimmed the roots should I?

sirsmokalot989 · 10-30-2010, 07:36 PM

Yay I successfully reverted her
This will be my fourth time around on this specific plant
It has full grown branching limbs and after I cut off the remaining buds you can hardly tell it was reverted... Except the main branch is becoming like a tree trunk
Really cool

Jenna_Grows · 10-30-2010, 08:58 PM

That is so kewl! a 33 gallon pot... wow, that's huge. Glad to hear of your success with that
