HOW LONG...do you veg your clones for?

[dojaguy]

Just curious as to how long you guys veg your clones... everyone is different.... just trying to get a friendly topic going... alot of posts today are rather mean and rude... just trying to get the focus back to our plants... and away from the negative i been seeing here all day.... Its getting fuckin old and childish

I vegg mine for four weeks under a 400W MH .

last time was five weeks for the white wid last grow, cloning Vanilla Kush now figure I'll go five weeks too.

i vegged for 5 weeks under a 600W HPS, but im in the process of getting a MH today

I'm currently flowering some bushes that were vegged for a month and some clones that were only rooted, transplanted and in three days put in to flower. I prefer the clones so far. If plant count was not an issue I would grow clones for sure.

so how long did they take to root? i just planted mine into a 3.7 gallon container...

I've waited for some to go an extra week here and there but the general rule in my grow room is 4 weeks.

I'm all about checking strains too. Some are known for needing/wanting less or more.
I'm waiting on some Lemon G clones and hear 3 weeks in veg should be more then enough because of it's burst of growth while in flower.

I veg mine to a chosen size, not a period of time, i can certainly estimate 4 weeks but they go longer if too small and go shorter if grow too large too fast.

I THINK this hindu skunk i have will go for about 2 more weeks... its getting big fast...

Does the generation of the clone matter? I found my clones of clones were showing pre flower as soon as I took them out of the cloner. 1.1 clones were taken @ 6 weeks veg and 1.2 8 weeks later. The 1.2 clone went straight to flower and will finish just shy of the 1.1.

I guess my theory here is the older the clone the quicker they "can" go through veg and flower. Being able to flower short sexually mature plants benefits the vertically challenged.

Would i be right or wrong in saying that yield with regard to veg time is exponential to an extent?

thats interesting! thanks for sharing that i was wondering about that the other day

Up to a point, then the law of diminishing returns kicks in. Does veg time of mother count?

3/4 to an ounce per plant. But I cut three to 6 weeks veg time off each harvest, and I flower 12-15 plants at a time. and since I'm perpetual that makes a huge difference in how many times a year I can harvest.

A 6 week mother is a little young. The most vigorous, speedy clones come from plants mature enough to have alternating nodes at 8 to ten weeks. They root faster and set bud faster.
