This was the week I flipped the light to 12/12. As you can see, it's indoors. But my tent is only 60" tall and at day 5 of the flip I learned about "the stretch" that was about to come. I hadn't learned enough yet about ways to keep the grow indoors, and in a panic, moved them outdoors. I live in Maine, and later learned that putting them outdoors mid-July was about 2-3 weeks too early. And guess what they did... yeah, they re-vegged. All three of them. Clearly not a genetics thing.

This was the first sign of flowers. Though I was seeing pistils in the tent before moving them outside on July 18th, I was happy to see flowers at this stage and incorrectly assumed I was past the trouble. What I didn't notice was that it was already starting to reveg. There are some three point leafs in new growth that are visible in the picture from the 12th, but I wouldn't even learn about what that meant for weeks to come.

I was using Earth Juice organics all the way through the grow at this point with a few synthetic supplements. I tried adding in the HPK2 from Roots Organics and all the plants got nitrogen toxicity from it for a brief moment. I was able to identify that and correct it quickly-ish, but it completely distracted me from looking into signs of reveg.

During the beginning of the week, I was still mostly focused on fixing that I had switched nutes mid-grow even thoughI knew it was a risk. Not having seen a nitrogen toxicity before, I kept monitoring to see if I had corrected it. Seeing leafier growth, I incorrectly assumed it was because of the nitrogen toxicity. Once I noticed the 3-leaf pattern that had been clearly growing for some time on EVERY plant, I did some googling. Quickly discovered that it's a telltale sign of reveg and now... how do I count the weeks?

At this point, I'm well aware I'm staring at a plant that has/is going through reveg. The amount of forum searching at this stage is intense. Many growers have found themselves in this spot, but either don't see the grow through or they never post the pictures of the outcome.

I'm looking at my recipe charts, looking at the dwindling sunlight, and wondering what week of flower am I in? Should I be worried about existing milky trichomes at this point? Knowing that a frost is coming in about 5-6 weeks, what should I plan for?

I vegged indoors, moved outdoors too soon, they revegged and now I have no idea how much longer to expect for these plants (should be 8 weeks of flower). Any idea what week of flowering I’m in now?

I’d say you’re approx day 35 or so if we’re talking from flip date. But it gets really weird with reveg. I had one do the same thing. I bet that will be done within a month, I’ll say that.
