Cuttings

[StokeBloke]

Can I take cuttings from a plant in the last stages of flowering and have it grow straight into veg stage by giving the cuttings 18-6 light or do the cuttings need to be taken from a plant in veg stage?

You can take cuttings or reveg the plant at any time but the further into the flowering cycle it is, the longer it will take to root/regrow.

I'm basically about ready to cut them down, would I be better off starting from seed?

At this point I would consider monstercropping the plant by leaving some growth on the plant after harvest and revegging that whole plant it's pot.

Woodsman67 is doing one right now

If you have room and you think you might want to save it, pick a couple of larfy buds to leave alone on the plant and harvest the rest. Put the plant back under veg lighting and wait a while, it will give you some prime cloning branches or you can reflower the same plant later and by then you will have been able to try out the smoke and know if you want to continue growing it. If you're wanting to get the next round going as quick as possible, starting new seeds now would give you a head start over monster-cropping. I say do both if you can.

Revegging is easy and it's just as potent as the original harvest. Plus you get tons of clones.

You can re-veg the clones like described. No prob. Only issue is mothers don’t like to be cloned in this late flower stage. Definitely easier to make clones from a plant in veg than last few weeks of flower. It can be done, but would have more success ratios taking from veg.

I was actually going to post that question: I've heard that plants that have been through flower and reveg, and then flowered again lose their potency.

Do you agree or disagree? It sounds like you've done this a few times. I've always believed it, and have always taken my clones before flower, and maintained them until I knew whether they were keepers or not.

 

[Woodsman67]

Well, I was actually hoping to put that to consensus myself. This past harvest, I monster cropped a Golden Lemon, that was a clone of a clone of a cloned mother that came from a seed started 2 plus years ago. I love the taste and smell, figured this round would be weaker or maybe my body got used to it. Nah. This is as potent if not more than the mother that gave up the original seed or the seed itself. I am currently heavily medicated by it lol. I dont know if that's normal. This plant has been phenomenal

 

[Woodsman67]

I did add the HPS light last grow, quality boost could be from the better lighting

 

[DingusKhan]

That's awesome to know. I had heard otherwise, and I tried revegging once but failed. Next time I won't give up so easily.

Would love to hear more about monstercropping

...If only they had a website dedicated to teaching people these techniques. 😉

It is more fun when it is interactive in the forums - but thank you very much for the link
