To be sure I'm understanding right, you mean harvest (only buds not whole plant) and flip the remaining plant stubs back to veg? You know that's not a bad idea.
I’m just going to copy and paste my post from the other thread as I already had it all typed out - and what you mentioned is exactly what I’m doing with my Eagle Bill. I have 3 phenos growing in the same pot and will be regenning all of them.
Never seen it done like that before. Most folk just leave the full carcass with a few leaves and bits of bud here and there and it all regrows back.I’m just going to copy and paste my post from the other thread as I already had it all typed out - and what you mentioned is exactly what I’m doing with my Eagle Bill.

For regen you want to leave a node (or a few nodes) of growth at the very bottom of the stem and then just lollipop from that up to the good growth like normal. When it come times to harvest you chop the meristem right above the lowest node of growth that you left and regen the plant for a second harvest. The way it normally works is when you go to harvest, you sever the meristem just above the lowest growth, cover the wound with duct tape or glue... and out of that low growth you left on the plant spawns the new plant (which is why you want it as low/ close to the soil/ coco as possible). Some pics below illustrate on my current plants. Just imagine these are done flowering - the red line is where I plan to sever (then cover with duct tape immediately), and the nodes of growth/ green lines are where the new (regenerated plant) begins to forms.
In your use case, your second harvest would be effing insane man if what the guy who wrote the book on this (JB Haze) is true. Went back and forth with him a bit and he told me the successive harvest just get bigger and bigger when regen’d correctly. If you’re going to do this, but the Cannabis Regeneration book from JB Haze as it outlines how to do the whole process and plan for regen from the onset. I think it would be bitchin to see what you end up with on your second harvest. I wouldn’t do different strains in the same pot, maybe just different phenos of the same strain.
Hey! I want one of those!
Well guest house is in the plans too, so once the dream becomes reality there'll be a bed should you visit!Hey! I want one of those!
Not opposed to this idea since it’s soil, but I think regen is the point of interest if you’re panning. I’ve got 3 in a 4 gallon coco hydro right now and they’ll be be going for a second, maybe a third depending how dirty I’m feeling. Go for the regen and you shall be rewarded. Do a sick ass pheno though that you’re going to be stoked on for several runs (several LARGE runs).
I've thought about vermicomposting and this summer I may actually have the time to get a set up. Might be hard to sell my wife on it!And a worm farm should fit in it too
You must have me confused with someone else Smeegs. I have two big plants in hempy in a 2x4.
But since I'm here.Actually you should throw some garlic cloves in there, that’s a great idea. Garlic deters mites and pests. I have 4 garlic plants in my tent nonstop. If you pull off 4 cloves and just put them in a cup of 1/4” water rough side down and then cover with Saran Wrap/ set in window sill - they will show roots within a few days. Just plant those and voila, you have garlic plants. Super easy and a great idea DVT.
