image.jpg If this was your plant and you wanted to re veg it, what would you do? I had it outside It had spider mites bad, sprayed it with safe soap and it survived so I want to reveg it.

I cut about 80% off the top of the buds (at a straight accross cut no angle) and left as much green growth as I could. (There was only bud sites to cut) I put it under a 400W MH
24/7 light.

Do you guys think I can re-veg it?

You would be faster starting it from seed again! It takes months to get going again properly!
But yes you can re veg. I would suggest giving it at least one hour of dark time tho after a week. It'll help to encourage some new stretch.

I'm a hydro guy and never do soil except small window plants, but if i cut a branch with a soil plant, I'll rub some soil Into the wound where I've cut. You'll probably want to think about re potting as well, or you'll end up pot bound!

Only problem is its a clone only strain (Dabney Blueberry) and no more clones of it avail to me in Fl. I hope I can atleast reveg for clones. So you think I should go 18/6?

You have nothing to lose, but I would recommend 24/0 for a week, then 23/1 in week 2 and look for any sign of anything happening over the next few weeks following that and tail it down if things are looking like they're going somewhere. You can be up to a few months before you see anything tho sometimes!
It may grow back fine or it may grow back totally stunted from a Nitrogen build up from the soil, so-
Repot and resoil as much as you can. Use light schedule, use cutting/low veg feed and keep your eyes peeled!

Edit :
With all due respect of course. I know you know what you're doing for the most part but for anyone new reading this it may help them :)

I did repot and crumbled off about 20% of the soils at the bottom and put new soil at the bottom of the pot. i watered with plain water a day after. So light on the veg nutes for a few weeks? Or till I see new growth? Should I flush for a week first?
