Myth Busting - Revegging Autoflowers

[Hashistan Farms]

yeah bro , ive tried it and would have to say . its just not worth the time in 15 days i would have a nice sized veg and be almost ready to start flowering again when the whole cycle is 70 75 days 15 days is a long time to spend trying to get a few more grams out of a spent lady . thanks for the pic of the experiment !

Oh no it's been completed debudded supposedly a guy took 1 like this no buds and reveged it also it's got a few day old seedling in it also so not wasted space but this guy said that autos will loose the auto gene after being reveged so I'm doing it to see highly doubt it but if some1 told me years ago seeds can germ on a plant I would be said your crazy till I witnessed it not that it was a good thing but it can and does happen so now I'm trying to dispel or show it works lol but I personally think it's not going to do anything.

On Facebook recently, a grower claimed that he's been re-vegging his autoflowers and that it can be done with all autos.





The alleged trick is to keep the light on 24/0 and switch back to veg nutes.

This sparked a TREMENDOUS amount of replies, with a very small percentage saying "oh yeah, we've done this too" and the majority saying "bullshit." Absolutely no one has provided any proof during any of the conversations about it however. The comment about it reverting back to the "prized photo period" was a bit of a stretch lol.

Personally I think some growers are seeing unstable autoflowers, or what's essentially a "semi-auto." Ruderal characteristics but it's still a photo by definition (needs to flip to properly finish.) We've seen it dozens of times over where growers have an auto that doesn't auto, and every time you treat it like a photo and it's good to go. So really, at that point is it still considered an autoflower? I think this is what a lot of growers are seeing when they say "oh my plant re-vegged" or "I have an autoflower mother I keep taking clones from for years," that it was sold and labeled as an autoflower, but that it's a photo dominant strain. Perhaps a bit of semantics?

I've seen autos start to push out new leaf growth at the end of their lives, but personally I take all my meds longer than normal (more amber) than probably most do, and I've yet to see them reveg. I've left autos in pots where they've eventually died (way past harvest window) and they never revegged. Doesn't explain partial harvests either.

But then we were talking about it in the staff room and @Mossy mentioned she had an auto start to reveg going from natural sunlight (outdoors) then moved inside to a grow light (and more hours on than what it was getting.) Very curious stuff.

What do you think? Ever see this phenomenon happen? Truth and merit to the claim, or stoner science? Chalked up to genetic anomaly? Or able to be replicated?

Got 2 now that's doing it i have up on one i main lines and it started shooting green shiny new growth both

Who is the breeder? Thats interesting also how long did it take I'm @ 16days with nothing happening

the issue really is the market is flooded with seeds that are F1 autos . most sellers dont give a shit about pheno %s if the majority auto its good enough . there product auto but its still not a dominate genetic trail . its called a punit square learn how to you it !!!

That's wat I think also which is why I'm using a mephisto auto which is supposed to be a top breeder to see. Now I've personally never seen this with any auto or supposedly auto that I've grown also alot of breeders arnt labeling weather f2 or f10 lol so you don't know till you try something like this weather it's stable now a true f1 in corn for example is brought to f9 then you take another f9 breed them the resulting offspring is f1 so really not sure wat a f4 x f4 is but it's not considered f1 @least in other crops and this is wat sucks with the seed market which is why I've been breeding my own

mephesto strains are dank ive met the owner of the company a few time ( thats where i got my stoke from ) strains are dank and way ahead of everyone else

super natural og,fantasmo ,ripleys og ,and 3 bears are super super dank

Most "breeders" out there aren't doing a good job or just don't care. If it were legal federally there would be regulations and standards of practice governing the process.

So to everyone thinking it's possible to reveg a true auto I'm going to have to say from my experiment the double grape x silverback which is a auto f1 has new growth but only a single spot has put out a few caylaxes after 20days so if your able to reveg then you have genetics that were done incorrectly now as for clones they can and have been done the thing that sucks is they will never get as big as plant they were taken from but it is very beneficial in breeding of autos imho but otherwise isn't viable @ all. I really hate how genetics are right now very few that are real fire most are mediocre@ best imho and many of the well knows have inherit issues aswell which is why I've been breeding my own the prices and lack of available good genetics has pushed me to produce my own out of necessity and hopefully can bring them to the masses when ready.
