I've had this plant since july of 08. I have pic of that grow here

so I wont repost them. I have learned how to clone and I really like this strain, plus it seems like if you could keep a plant going year after year it will produce better buds. That's how it works with flowers and buds are flowers, right? so I clipped almost all the buds from my plant but since the main stem was so thick and I wouldnt be able to make a clean cut I decided to cut as far as down as I could, it was about 2 feet tall and had a few small popcorn buds at the bottom on long branches. It looked crazy. I dont know if I have pics but it was bare. I put it directly under my 400w mh to veg on 24/0 until the soil was very dry. The buds started doing really weird things and the leaves grew out with now saw edge blades, just one long leaf. It looked like one side of a plane propeller. Then fresh green stems started popping out of the buds that were left. At this point I decided that I should really transplant to a bigger pot and change the soil. Since it was dry the plant popped right out with a little help from a ruler to separate the soil from the pot. I shook all the dirt that I could from the roots. This step was way easier than I thought it would be. I didnt cut any roots like I have read one should do but I did "break" them up and gently coverede them with fresh ocean forest soil. Since the plant that I replanted in was only about 3 inches bigger in diameter and about 5 inches deeper I figured I would try and cut the plant down to about 2/3's of it original size and watered the plant for the first time since harvest. I figure this step was a shortened winter/dormant period. The next watering I fed with half strength of a veg nutes. The next feeding after that I used a full strength veg solution. I didnt time how long it took to get it back to looking like it was gonna live but I waited until it was bushy and full of three fingered green leaves to flower it. It looks completly different than it did at first, I dont know if this is normal, but pretty much I do at this point is experimenting and learning. Anyway, here is what it looks like now.
