usually a solid 3 weeks is enough - it will depend on the plant but I wouldn't go far beyond 4 weeks.

It's starting to look like 12/12FS might be the only option for those 2 crosses. My girls are just over a week old and Amazon is seriously fuckin up w this new tent (old one was stolen by a landlord...) , not sure
what's up with them these days they were great 4 a while but now they're pullin bait n switches, lying, changing things without any notification, not honoring their own policies, scammers, the list goes on. as told order would be 4 days late even tho it was guaranteed 2day shipping. Sucks but no big deal thought, few more days. 3 days go by, turns into 10-15 days late now,
to say the least. Had to cancel (wont even be refunded for 3-7 days) and reorder different one which I did today. If I do decide to veg em out i'll be cutting it close 4 sure. Popped a few more seeds for the hell of it in case I do keep these 12/12. I want to at least veg out a few but maybe keeping these 12/12 wont b so bad. Just never done it that way before so its new to me, wasn't really in the mood for experimental projects this grow but whatever...

Here’s an update to my 12/12 from seed.
I’ve been removing every single fan leaf every week whenever a leaf has more than 1cm of stem.
This is what they look like today 4 weeks and 2 days from germination.
On average they have had 11 true nodes but bottom 2 removed to leave 9 nodes on the main stem.
No sign of flower starting yet.
Anyone else have any comparison shots to what theyre plants looked like at 4 weeks?

Damn how many nodes do you have for that and how many weeks? I’m at 4 weeks 4 days and don’t see preflowers yet. I did accidentally mess my timer up for 5 days 2 weeks ago and gave near enough 24 hour light so that could of set mine backUpdate: Seedlings are showing
Update: The seedlings are showing pre flowers already... I guess I got my answer LMFAO. New seeds should be here tomorrow, back to the drawing board...View attachment 4403507

I have some mature plants that have been on 12 12 for a bit now.. I had a seedling I stuck in the same tent. So its gotten maybe a week of 24 hr light before it got thrown in to 12 12. Is up over a foot tall already.in the pic. Both of those have been just about all 12 12 ..bigger,one got a week of full light give or take.

How many weeks from seed?
That seems to be very very stretchy though. Mine have 9 nodes and only 7 inches

This is normal, preflowers just simply indicate its maturing, not that it's flowering. You can vegetate cannabis and it will show its sex via preflowers in 2 - 4 weeks every time.

Ya at about 2 weeks I took of the lower 3 or 4 nodes started flowering last week. And has grown alot since it started. I think that's half the stretch.. From flowering.. And other half from battling for light under the bigger gals. Usually I'd train it and have 24 hr. But this has,been a real experiment

I did the math wrong. I was going off of when my bigger ones started flowering. Forgot to account for the time of 12 12 before hand. So that one would be around 5 weeks give or take
I’d be interested to know how long it takes to harvest.
I am looking for a strain that does 12-12 seed to harvest in 12 weeks ...
If mine like yours start to flower around 5 weeks I assume they still have at least 8 weeks left which takes us to 13 weeks

Ever interrsted,in autoflower? They have some strains that can,finish in 8 weeks on average seed to harvested
I like to prune my seeds to cram them into small spaces for the first 5 weeks to increase harvests per year in my flower room.
Can auto flowers been pruned like that and still achieve 2 oz a plant?

Take the the,magnum strain by buddha seeds for,instance .. About 9-10 weeks from seed to harvest. Outdoor can reach 5 feet tall. Indoor limit pot size to battle,height also. They spit many side,branches and respond well to lst and early toppings. With autos ya,gotta,be careful how late ya top as it wont have time to recover before flowering hits. But I'm,sure there are autos like that.. My sweet gelato auto I have going rn stays pretty short so topping and pruning wouldn't work well.

Oh and magnum on average yields up to 7+oz per sq meter
