One of the more interesting techniques you can still use this late in the game is Secondary Budding. About 5 weeks into flowering while the buds are still immature but formed, you switch the plants back to 24 hours of daylight. The plant will go back into veg. mode, new tips will sprout from where the buds were. You grow it in 24 hours of daylight for four weeks, and then switch it back to 12 hours daylight and flower once more. It obviously adds considerable time to your grow, but you can expect about 25% more bud.

Also adds 25% more hermies. WTF?

This is SCIENCE at its worst. I hope any newb that reads the OP also reads the comments.

Why get a haircut when you can cut your head off.

Adds considerable more time to your grow....
In the time it takes him to get 25% more bud on those plants, i have already harvested again.... lot of time needed to reveg.

I have done this by accident many of times by putting clones outside at the wrong time. I have also re-vegged many of times in the past. I have literally grown 1000s if not 10,000s of plants and still have never had a hermie.

cant see herms being a prob but ima bud man.....all that extra leaf .....yuck....

All that extra hash!

Whew..! I knew you knew better than that. And yeah, I couldnt think of a better way to ask for hermies, especially at such a critical time in the process, 4 weeks into flower.

Lol, so i went home today.. And guess what found my first hermie ever. The mother Fucker was in a 25 gallon pot. It had already dropped pollen too. I'm going to be pissed if that fucked up my crop

I put 2 plants out that needed 2-3 weeks to finish indoors. I transplanted again from a 2 to a 5 for S&G's. The plants vegged a bit more sugar leaf and began to bud again. They are a little bigger but they were pretty dense to begin with.

I have been experimenting with mega cropping should I be worried about Hermies???
