When do I actually count the first day of veg and when do I actually count the first day of flower?
I'm doing a grow journal and I am 7 days in from when I put my seeds into a wet paper towel. Just curious if I am logging the days correctly.

Thanks

I think usually people consider the sprout a seedling untill its got like three nodes then you veg as long as you want. And it when you start 12/12 the plant begins the flower phase

and your seedling and veg phase are pretty much the same thing

Also i have been seeing that plants aren't considered to be in "veg" until the cotyledon leaves fall off.. Just throwing that out there!

Don't even bother counting veg days,just go on the height you need to flower at eg the height of the room.

after 7 days of flowering there 1 week old

Do you consider that flowering starts the day you swap to 12/12 or after the plant stretches to its max height and then begins to "flower"..

Flowering starts the second the light has been flipped to 12/12,

But it takes the plant 12/14 days to get into flower mode,hit em with big bud at the end of week 2 this makes thing run along a little faster,

Keep the light has close to the tops for first 3 week of flowering or you will get strech,after that i higher the lights to around 1 1/2 ft of the tops gives out a better ark of light but my room hurts your eyes i run 3 x 600's.

Never rush flowering to be honest i only ever have two dates written down the big bud day the pk 13/14 after that the plants tell me where they are at and when there ready for a flush.

My grow's are done by ec not weeks 1 st week flowering 1.4
second week 1.5 ec,at around the time i add pk i bump them up to 1.6

Veg
week 1 -1.1ec
week 2 1.2 ec
week 3-1.3 ec
week 4-1.4ec

no problem i would flush just before the big bud for a day and just before the pk for a day then final flush at week 9,or when there cooked.if you are growing in a none hydro set up flush for a few days let dry out then hit them with the two above at the times i have said

never count from when you see pistols you all ways count from the light change by counting from seeing pistols would mean flowering would run well over,time wise the thc would start to de- grade,

even more so if you are not growing from clones and doing fem seeds,more than likely the plant would throw you seed by flowering for too long.

Every day.I've been told to hold of on watering till the soil is almost dry but don't like that idea I've got the time to look after them but I'm finding it difficult to find a balance the plants r 5 weeks old and I thought I was doing great plants were looking really well until the yellow leaves two days ago
