Does Veg time effect Flowering time?

what would make you think that veg time would affect the time it took for the flower to fully ripen? In short no it'll just make it bigger.

I have some mothers that I'm flowering out that seem to be flowering faster than expected. I'm probably just being a noob lol.

So would a mature plant flip in the exact same time as an immature plant.. Say one 60 days old compared to 7 days..?

hmmmm this is a very good question… if I understand correctly you are asking if the time it takes to start flowering once flipped is different for a 7 day old clone vs a 60 day vegged plant? Lets make it a 14 day plant though I would be worried a 7 day plant may go into shock, but have no evidence to back that. I don't know anyone who does SOG anymore lets pretend. The answer I come up with is I don't know, I've never ran SOG and all my plants get 1-2 months (sometimes more) before flip.

In theory I don't see why it would be different, yes one plant has only had 14 days to establish roots (so obviously its not going to be root bound… ever) but both go through the same 10-14 days of increased growth at flip so I would think they would start flowering and finishing at the same time regardless of veg time

Photoperiod plants will veg for ~3 weeks regardless of light. A seed under 12/12 from germination will not flower until it's mature enough. After this 3 weeks or so I'd imagine all genetically identical plants ripen at the same speed in identical conditions.

Interesting I was thinking the same thing, the only wrench in it for me was mature plants in veg will show sex (however minuet) so that must establish channels to move those hormones, where as an under developed plant won't have those already in place.. Hmmm,

let me throw another wrench… senerio: the young cutting was from the mature plant that showed sex already, would there be any difference in times than?

A little of my brain just leaked out of my ear hold on a sec..

I guess if you equate it to autos the clones are as old as the mother...so that would just be a small mature plant? So it and the mother if put into flower would flower at the exact same time baring any stress experienced.. Assuming all else equal

Do larger plants produce bigger calyexes, or just more of them?

Depends on strain and for sure the grower.If you have been taking clones, or the stems that make clones, it is going to produce two stem for every one you take. Lower ones are often thinned because of light but still you should get more buds. As far as weight that depends on strain and the grower. The bigger the plants usually the bigger the buds.

Veg long, add silica for stem strength. Easy on the fertilizers. And check Bomb Seeds Big Bomb and THC Bomb. They yield well for all kinds of growers. Remember the silica.

Im on my first photoperiod run, and I do have some silica my shop guy hooked me up with. Thanks for the tip.

Went from 4 autos to 2 photos. I used to run Lowryder1 so Ive got Northern Lights (what most lowryders are most of) going now.

They've just started alternating nodes at 24 days. Seeing the framework bulk up so rapidly is getting exiting.

I am a little nervous because as long as my autos had a healthy 3 weeks from seed, I knew they would be done before any small issues dealt any real damage.
