If I start a grow with a 3 gallon pot, how much veg time do you guys think it'll take before it gets this big (substract the possible flower stretch that it went through this plant is 3 weeks in veg supposedly in a 3 gal.) Im really not trying to spend more than 4-5 weeks in veg but still want to get my time/yeilds worth. So wondering if i should grow a plant like this. But if it takes more than 4-5wks to veg i’ll pop 2 seeds instead of one. (i only have a 2.5 x 2.5 x 63 tent so its either 1 or 2 plants.)EBF82AE7-9F4E-47CC-97D5-B735ED5DEBCA.jpeg

I’m doing one at a time in mine but I’m doing autos. If you’re doing phenos then 2 might be better? I’m not sure how big a pheno gets but I’ve seen guys getting a pound. U might need that much room for one plant if it’s that big

this is the simple question I’ve been wanting to know as well because I have six @18 days old and three @11 , there all in 7 gallon fabrics.. all I wanna know is when to flip my lights to get about 2.5-3oz per plant like in the pic above...but nobody can answer it I guess...

How big is ur tent? it doesnt look big enough to hold those after they spread out unless u have more tents (or more tent that im not seeing in picture). You’ll get way more than 2-3 oz from a plant that looks like the pic i posted. If u have a good light you may get that if u veg for another 3-4 weeks maybe less i wouldnt say more since your pots are pretty big they should grow pretty fast. I did more research and seen a plant about this big and they said it was vegged for 2 months. I think in a 10 gal

That plant looks more along the lines of 6wks veg with a good amount of light.

Edit....sorry. Just saw the tent size. Only grow 1. A plant that size will fill your tent.

I veg for eight weeks in a perpetual grow where I have four plants flowering at all times. Every five weeks, I harvest two, and two new plants go into flower.

I just did a harvest today of two plants, and by looks, I'll have a little better than a half pound after it's dry. It's pretty consistent that I get somewhere between four and seven ounces per plant.

My plants are in three gallon pots, using Sunshine Mix #4 grow medium, General Hydroponics Flora series nutrients, a 1000W HPS for flower (400W MH for veg), and temps are 58F lights off, 78F lights on.

4 weeks and your 5x5 will be packed but doable.
Here are 8 autos I had in a 4x4 (first grow so I didn't know shit btw) in 3gal pots that flipped @ 30ish days. 600w hps. 2x- 600w hps last 4 weeks. 4oz per plant average.

I would love to but I would rather do a number of em with significantly decreased veg time right, I have 9 in there now there bout a foot wide and 8 inches tall now for 6 Barney’s strains and the 3 blue cheese are small compared to em tho, 7-8 days behind.. I’m thinking of putting into flower when there about 14-15 inch tall, if they don’t go crazy bushy on me before that

I'd say 4-6 weeks minimum.
This is one of mine 4 weeks old and it's got a long way to go yet.

I’ve been growing for 13 years though my plants r 14 inches wide and 21 days old so
If I can't fit all in my tent I'll shift some to the back garden.

Off topic ........
34-40c outside at my place, but too many bugs, leaf miners will take a bite or two, but don't seem to like the taste ..... they're murdering my tomatoes.
Also got whitefly, again doesn't like the taste of cannabis but eats the hell out of my tomatoes.
Strange but if I put cannabis next to the tomatoes, the bugs don't seem to eat the tomatoes as much.

Ever try buying a cheap spray pump and bottle of neem oil or something organic for pests? I usually pump my outy’s down once in veg before they go into flower, to make sure No shit in em for the start of the most important part of the grow
