IT was in 12/12 for 9 days till it put out female flowers ( two ).

it can more than a month for that to occur
at least youve observed 'flowering' growth come to a halt?

You could try up potting. Extra root space and access to fresh nutes helps the reveg process.

Thanks for the feedback. I up pot to the final 3 gallon container a few days ago. I put it on 21/ 3 light cycle too.

you are doing it wrong, you screwed up the inner hormone levels, good luck with that going to normal ...

never do that what you did, there is a reason why growers use cuts for that ... lots of strains wont fully revert to normal, time lost, money lost, yield lost .. awww man twilson, im so angry about your action ... you should have known it better

24 hours non stop lighting, not just 21 ... also use a few hours of true sunlight in those 24 hours of light

best mothers never came into flowermode, thats also a reson they can live so long (10,20,30 years) because the hormone levels never got screwd up .. good luck with it

The reason I did it this way was I was advised by other growers to do it this way and when I did it before it worked. Plant went right back into veg stage.

Who are these "other growers"? I always understood trying to force flowering plants back into veg mode was generally considered bad--or at least seriously sub-optimal--growing practice.

Contrary to most other peoples advise. Reverting females should only be used to preserve a strain. It's unnatural relations going on and the time it takes .... i.. e.. 3 months? in one case is not worth the time.

It can work but its definitely not easy.

Faster to clone or just plant a seed.

Depends on your objective.

I regenerated a diesal strain years ago over 3 years Maybe? Had a mother.. grew clones from her. Over wintered mother and flowered her out in a large 15 gallon tub. bushed out like crazy but each year the buds got smaller and the leaf and branching increased. Pain in the urinary tract to clean them broken branches of torment.

I fucked it up.

That bitch is not changing her mind very fast if at all. But I'll tell ya what. She sure is acting strange. I'd kinda like to keep her going just to see what happens in a couple months.

Not sure if I will at this point. I'm just gonna buy some Fox farm and get myself a couple good mothers to keep as clone donors. My other indicas flipped back to veg with no problem.
