@Slug_Life It’s all good the 2 Gelato seem fine I would of vegged them indoors then flower outdoors but don’t have a bigger tent sadly… @Cannabian what’s the possibility of it losing yield? I do notice on main cola has other branches that branch out on top. I do see little tiny pistils forming but alot of new growth. It hasn’t hermed yet but where the calyx is at (it’s hard to explain without picture) there’s growth that looks like a shape of a banana. If it revegs again it’s gonna be the second time it does. This gorilla Zkittles is 162 days old. 132 days of it was in flower light schedule. I had first vegged her for bout 4 to 5 weeks. If I left her in flower she would of been done with the purp an peyote Zkittles
You know what? Unless you are growing for a business or you need maximum yeild… I would just grow and harvest… just learn from this planting and see what happens. Then on the next go round you will have better understanding of what will happen. I try to keep it real simple. I track sun up and sun down via the calendar and location and try to match the dark hours as best I can with an indoor schedule of 16/8. Any longer of a dark period gets risky. Any shorter means I have to wait till June to plant out. I want my plants in the ground by early to mid May at my latitude.

Yeah I’ve been just going by daylight hours 
so basically anything can happen with this gorilla Zkittles right? Should I just let it do what it does an see what happens for outcome? I mean the 2 green gelato in ground are still vegging no preflower or anything an I got 1 or 2 other plants that are vegging to put in ground when I either get more daylight hours or put it in ground when it gets time to flower them. Mid April is when I will get 13 hours sun 11 hours dark
Ok lets be clear it isnt the daylight hours we need to concern ourselves with it the dark hours. I know this sounds contrary or meaningless, but trust me it isn’t. The reason is we have dawn and dusk… somewhere in both ends of that is ( the light threshold that plants wake up to ) . So we want to use this half hour pre dark and half hour pre sun up as a buffer. This will give us some cushion on complete darkness right? Lets say, for example, the sun is up totally by 6am and is down totally by 7 pm… thats 13 hours of total daylight but is it 11 hours of total darkness? No because of dawn and dusk. That can extend day time by a half hour on each end. So now you only have 10 hours of darkness right? You need at least 10 hours of total darkness… any more and you risk a photo flowering. Any hoo… imagine that the indoor grow has no dawn nor dusk. When the lights go on its BAM! Full on sun 
, when the lights go off is BAM full on dark. If we were to use the standard 18/6 the dark hours are only 6 compared to 10 in outdoor right? Add the 1/2 hour on both end and now we are 7 compared to 10… a bit closer right? Well lets try 16/8 indoor add 1/2 hour on both ends and now we are 9 total darkness thats pretty darn close… but not so far away to trip the plants. Plus the dark hours are getting shorter every day until summer solstice. 
then we go the other way until fall.
I hope this makes sense? The idea is you can pre veg a photo for as long as you want, you can use it as a clone mother and still plant it out. It gives you a massive head start! What it wont do is extend your flowering season as that is pre determined by your latitude. At some point, even in a heated greenhouse, there wont be enough solar intensity to make bud.

Completely makes sense. My other question is if a plant is not gaining bud size but still pre flowering once it revegs will it be better on health for the plant other than having a bigger size bud revegging if that makes any sense
