How long do you guys like to veg for ?

[Imcamping86]

How long do you guys like to veg your plants for ? I’ve currently got a mixed garden . Was debating on a light flip time. Tomorrow makes all my plants a month old at lease. A few nearly two months . Where do you guys feel comfy at ?

I go by plant size

 

[shroomhaze]

When planing my grow I plan on the vegging taking 2 months. It can take shorter or sometimes even longer. But I find 2 months enough most of the time

I go by the rule of flip when your plants are 50 to 60% of the desired height. Most hybrids tend to stretch around double when flipped. Each strain varies but as always longer veg = bigger plants = bigger yields

4 weeks, no choice with autos.

I veg every plant, autos and photos, for 3 weeks under 24/0 T5HO, then move to a flower tent on 12/12. At three weeks, autos are fixin' to flower and photos stay small...just like I like my bonzai. If ya grow for yeild or bragging, veg photos longer....I grow for quality with yeild not a priority. Not a problem growing hefty plants in small places.

The plants and the available space to grow them in should be the deciding factor. (If your growing photos.) I grow perpetual and have a staggered flower room. I let the plants veg over on the veg side till they almost fill the desired space. (Like 75%-80% full.)Then they go over to flower.

The initial two week stretch usually fills in the rest of the space. I think the key is getting a nice even canopy across a relatively full area. In my opinion any place in the flower room you can see the pots, soil or floor from above is waisted space and waisted light.

Until I can't take it no more.

Usually 5-6 weeks from planting seed.

this is where I’m at lol

 

[Imcamping86]

Seems like the typical veg time is 6 weeks for a lot . Looks like I’ll hit that for majority of my garden and the rest will get just over two months . Can wait to see what the older ones shape up to be .

8-10 weeks since i train.

yeah training takes a bit out of them . But the results are worth it . Been playing around withall the lst categories lol

LST shouldn't delay too much....bet you have some monsters though!

 

[Mr_X]

I manifold my plants then mainline if I have space. Then add a scrog. That’s why my training time is so long.

 

[Severed Tongue]

I went with the top after 4th node leaving 8 main stems, then LST to let the center fill, taking clones as it grows. Everything I've read points to Veg until the plant is mature, at least 8 weeks from seedling from what I've gathered.

most of my reading have lead me to say a two month minimum three month to be solid . But , until recently I’ve read people have been sending them into veg after a month . Which kinda sparked this thread . Was curious what the popular vote was lol and lst has been a lot of fun .

I’ve never scrogged before . Been wanting to . My super glue plant seems like it’s begging for it lol all the lst work and I’ve only topped like 2 -3times .

I've been topping, taking clones, and tying the branches down for 2 months. She's only 2' tall, but 4 feet wide with a shit ton of branches, so it's time to flip her. She's only in a 1 gallon pot so I have to feed/water twice a day. That'll change to 3 or 4 once she blooms. I waited way too long this time, but hey... I'm working from home and isolating, so what else do I have to do.
