Issue #535 - Sunday, July 17, 2022
Dear Fellow Grower,
In today's issue...
- What the heck is re-vegging? The word is short for re-vegetating and if you've ran into it by accident, you've encountered the tell-tale signs. Every new leaf only has one lonely finger. Some of the fingers on new leaves are round. The buds stop growing and even start dying. Why is this happening? And here's an even crazier question: why do some growers do this on purpose?
- Check out harvest day for my two Platinum Cookies plants! These plants are some of the most purple I've grown!
- Almost every grower being featured in this week's "trophy Pics of the Week" section had a bit of plant confusion. Some think they have plant problems when all they have is some beautiful cannabis...but some of them might be right about their plants. Check out the trophy pic section below and see who's who!

What is "Re-Vegging"
(aka "Monstercropping" 👺🌳👹)?

Intro: What is Re-Vegging Cannabis?
“Re-vegging” cannabis (short for “re-vegetating”) is what happens anytime you take a cannabis plant in the flowering (budding) stage and revert it back to the vegetative stage.
Cannabis plants that are re-vegging can display strange stretchy growth, single-point or 3-point leaves, and often grow round leaves with no serrations. However, some growers use a re-vegged plant’s unusual growth patterns to their advantage.
Example of a revegging cannabis plant – the edges of the new leaves are round instead of serrated. Not enough points per leaf.
Sometimes Cannabis Growers Re-Veg on Purpose…
- Monster Cropping – Take a cannabis clone from a flowering plant, a technique that is sometimes known as “monstercropping” (more on that below!)
- Harvest Plant 2nd Time – Re-grow a cannabis plant after harvest (typically not that productive as far as yields, but fun!)

Harvest day! – July 14, 2022
Here are the plants just before harvest (left was defoliated, right was left to grow naturally)
I have no idea which is going to end up yielding more. Normally I have a feeling from looking at the plants, but I truly don’t know in this case.
Non-defoliated plant
Defoliated plant’s buds look almost exactly the same
Buds hanging to dry (wow, just two plants!)
Stay tuned for the final weights! And then it’ll be time for the THC and terpene lab tests, which is my favorite part of any side-by-side experiment.

"You guys are awesome I have been reading a lot of your material and find it very useful and informative. I am currently growing a couple of plants and so far they are looking good. I have not done this in a long time so I am hoping for good results. I am also doing this outside, currently have 3 plants in the vegetative state, been about 2 plus weeks now so the tips and advice you give is greatly appreciated. Thank you. "
~Andy
Doesn't it feel great to try something that seems hard and have it turn out well? I'm glad your grow is going well. Make sure to send pictures! 📸 ~Sirius

"Hello,
I have been making oil like this forever does NOT require decarb I take four cups of dried shake and 4 cups Crisco oil. Why? Crisco oil seems to work better. Put it in a slow cooker on high for 1 1/2 days stirring a few times a day.
Turn to low and let it cook another day. Let it cool then strain it into your jars.
1/3 cup oil in a chocolate cookie mix and bake. You will have a ball with this,
Alternative is take 1 tsp of the oil and just consume it."
~Darrell
Funnily enough, you're doing a different version of our Canna Cap recipe, but without putting the oil in caps. We decarb the weed immediately, and this recipe does it slowly over a few days. I've never thought to put the oil into cookie mix though. That sounds incredible! ~Sirius
"As a smoker for over 30 years and harvesting off and on for over 20 of those, I have always relied on one tried and true rum brownie canna recipe. After seeing your Firecracker canna recipe, I realized it's time for this old dog to learn a few new tricks. I enjoyed
the additional spice brought to your newsletter by this recipe inclusion and I would appreciate seeing more. It would be nice to draw upon your audience as well and maybe include your choice of best new recipe for each email you send. I know I would personally enjoy and benefit from this happy addition."
~Doj
That's a killer idea; I'd love to hear some of the recipes our growers use to incorporate cannabis into their food. Thanks for the idea!
To our readers: If you have a great canna-recipe you're just sitting on, send it in! You can just hit reply on this email 👍 ~Sirius

"Hi - I love your site and thought you might be interested in a pic of this Strawberry Cheesecake. It’s autoflowering feminised and has been budding nicely but you can see what appears to be a pollen sack in the middle of the pic. There are a good few more of these on it. I also have a lovely looking Purple Kush also feminised that is budding and also seems to have these. Currently growing in a greenhouse. They got stressed early on but
recovered so maybe that’s it. Thanks."
~Tony
Good news, Tony. That's not a pollen sac, it's just a fat calyx. The buds we know and love are actually just clusters of these calyxes, so you've got nothing to worry about. Good looking plant, btw! ~Sirius

"Hey there. So much to learn so little time! Your site has been very helpful on this Horticulture Journey. Bountiful wisdom available here. The first picture is normal Lemon Haze Autogrow. The next 3 are my Lemon Haze Auto grow I've named Anomalie. Okay granted I did cut 1 top branch right before flowering is it looked a little stressed and curly. Now she is producing empty buds with random pistols all over the place and from what I read
"foxtailing"? Any ideas?"
~Anomalie
This plant looks totally fine to me. It might need a little verbal encouragement from its grower, but Io think it's going to be okay. 😂 ~Sirius
"Got chomped by kitty as a seedling.. waiting to see what happens"
~Sativa
Uh oh...I could be mistaken, but I don't think that's a cannabis plant you're growing there. The cotyledons aren't round, the leaves are all one-fingered, and they connect directly to the stem. We've seen a lot of this type of submission, unfortunately. It's really important to make sure you order from a trustworthy seed source! 😓 ~Sirius
"Thanks for all you do and your past replies. I have great plants grow to 4-5 ft. and then almost overnight these little buds (seed pods) appear. I am guessing they are male but look nothing like I have seen. I at first thought they were new shoots and let one plant grow but not buds. It is getting late to
replant and other plants have shown to be male at about 2 ft. I am stumped. Thanks."
~Norm
Yeah, those are definitely the pollen sacs of a male plant. You'll want to cut it down and get it away from any female plants you have, but it is a very nice male plant, though. ~Sirius
"Am I the only grower who makes his own hemp jewelry or is there anyone else who does it better? I've also wanted to ask G.W.E what else can you do with left over hemp I think it’s important to not let it go to waste."
~Abe
Honestly Abe, our non-bud plant material goes straight in the trash. We've heard that DWC roots are good for kindling, but we've never found a practical use for the leftover plant matter.
We're both very interested in hearing of other ideas for what to do with your leftover plant matter. The jewelry Abe is making is a very cool way to reduce waste a bit. if only there was something useful you could do with the stems or leaves without trichomes...🤔 ~Sirius
Scammers Are Even Fakin' the Bacon!

It might be hard to read, but that chunk of fat cost $11.70.

Scams Have Finally Gone Too Far
The world has hit a new low. Scammers have infiltrated ever corner of human society and now even bacon is no longer sacred. We are in dark days when our scrumptious, salty breakfast meats have become expensive, fatty lies.
This person could go back to the store and demand a refund, but when you're scammed online, you're forced to just deal with it and move on. As much as it pains me to say, I'd rather someone fall for this rather than being scammed online.
Remember to keep your personal information guarded closely. If we non-scammers stay vigilant, we can bring forth a world where all scams are failures and all bacon has the correct amount of fat.
Remember when it comes to buying seeds: Real seed businesses don't contact you. They let you contact them. If anyone messages you to sell you seeds on social media, look out! It's possible they will take your payment and send nothing. Always take a second to think before sending money to anyone, especially if they contact you (whether by DM, text message, phone
call, email, etc.).

Check out some articles you may not have seen...
- Complete Guide to Monstercropping for Better Yields - Some growers reveg their plants on purpose for a technique known as "monstercropping". It's a bit weird since you have to flower a plant and then take it out of flowering, but the growers who use it swear by it. Plus, it seems fun to try with not much risk if
you're used to growing.
-
Plant Doctor – Diagnose Your Cannabis Plants! - If you revegged your plant by accident and were looking for help, this is the page you would find
it on. Although some people reveg on purpose for monstercropping, the vast majority of revegging (seems to be) from outdoors growers who planted at the wrong time.
-
Complete Cannabis Grower’s Shopping List - When I first started growing over a decade ago, I was shown my first high-yielding setup by a cool
dude Nebula and I called "Tomato Guy". Now, we're the "tomato guys" for growers across the world, and this page will show you various successful setups we've used over the years.
- Supercropping: Magic Technique to Control Cannabis Plant Height - Wait, there's
monstercropping AND supercropping? Yup, these two techniques have similar names, and they're both done on cannabis, but they're entirely different ways of increasing plant mass and yields. Some crazy so-and-so might even consider combining them!
