I did an experiment when i cleaned up lemon haze plants which were 21 days into flower. Everything below the scrog i used for cuttings. I took 22 or 24 and rooted them in Rock wool cubes.
First roots at day 10 and then i transferred to little pots as and when each one rooted. I had them going under a 250w cfl for about 6 weeks.
As soon as my room became available i put them under a 700w draw led, after two weeks i changed the led for a 600w hps (i need to exchange the led as some have failed).
So what I've noticed is under a 250w cfl they grow slowly, if i had them under a stronger light sooner maybe they would have completed the re-veg process earlier?
They grow lots of little shoots in the centre of the plant. Now they're going for it (growing well) I'm using low stress training to bend the forming branches out to the sides. Allowing light into the centre helps them a lot. I haven't topped any of them yet.
I've got some which have taken really well and others which are far behind but starting to pick up.
I don't know yet how effective this process is vs taking standard cuttings and topping them at the 4th node. Then topping again once the new growths will have two shoots after the top, to create a bush.
Time will tell.. It's all in the end result, and these are still in veg so..
Timeline of the photos, the first pic in the led room was 17 days apart from the last few pics with the hps light. Also note the plant in the white pot which is looking like an umbrella, i repotted it into a big white pot and it looks like a round bush. That's a cheese seedling, next to it is the big lemon haze monster cutting.
