keepin her in veg too long?

[DankkAbuser]

I know alot of growers say u can keep ur plant in veg for over a year.
but are there any pros or cons wen keeping plants in veg for a long period.
My plants in veg now for 2months
i plan on keepin her vegging for another month or so till i move and setup my tent
is ther an increase in buds,pottency,yeild,etc wen vegging for about 3 1/2 months..??

What kind of lights are you going to use for flowering? Big plants good light big buds,do you have pics

 

[DankkAbuser]

Wassup cap
im using cfls for veg
but i have a 400w hps/mh cooltube
im gonna be using for flower
im gonna use the 400w on just one plant to try and get dense buds

deff get pics i you can, it helps to get better advice. how big is the space you're gonna flower in? plants are gonna double or triple in height depending on the strain, just gotta make sure you have room to accommodate the new growth

Im planning on buying a 6ft tall tent so space to flower wont be a problem
my issue is WILL KEEPING HER ON VEG FOR 4MONTHSS HELP IN ANYWAY..??

 

[xxstantheman420]

the longer you keep a plant in veg, the bigger it'll grow, the more bud you'll have. to put it simply.
6ft sounds alot taller then it actually is especially when you account for the space the light will take up.
look into low stress training (lst) to keep her growing bushier rather than taller. plus it'll help with light penetration.

Ive lst her topped and supercropped already
and thanks for the answer brrotha
thats wat i was looking for
Bigger buds
again i wont be buyin a tent till about a month down the road so i might go with a taller one
can i lst during bloom??

i've read a few times that plants that are allowed to mature before going into flower will have a better chance of reaching their full potential in flavor, potency and obviously yield when compared to the same strain that say was grown from 12 out of the gate..
to me this simply means waiting for pre-flowers and or alternating nodes, which both signal the plant is reaching sexual maturity... this is how i usually run all of my plants from seeds..

saying that, i'm not sure if you'd get any added benefit if you continued to veg after the plant reached sexual maturity, other then the obvious jump in yields so long as everything else was good..

Shes already popped a butt load of pre flowers and shown signs of sex
Its def a female
If i keep her in veg after shes shown sex and preflower, will she be harmd in any way

 

[xxstantheman420]

no problem. the wattage of your light is whats gonna get you bigger buds, but leaving it longer in veg is just gonna allow her
to grow bigger, with more shoots and more buds. you can lst during bloom like tying shit down but nothing crazy, if you break something it wont grow again. lol
i would just top and do some lst all during veg. you just gotta be prepared to have room to grow it, and nutes to feed a big plant. dont forget to transplant to a bigger bucket
when she starts to get bigger.

a longer veg will increase nothing but yield assuming your plant does a fair amount of growing in that time and is still small enough to flower in your space.

You can keep a plant in veg for a long time.
I had a friend that had a 9 year old mother plant.
And yes the longer you keep her in veg (up to a point) the better the buds will be.
The plant has more time to mature, more time to build up those cannabinoid levels.
It's like grapes, the older the vine the better the wine.

Cool
thanks dude
my whole dilema is to keep her small and in veg for another month or so till i get my tent and scrubber

 

[DankkAbuser]

but im gonna use my 400w cooltube
on just this one plant so she can POP
