okay i got a real serious question, and would like the answer to be based on personal experience not from a book... which of these methods will produce the most viable bud, given all the plants are treated equally, just grown at different time lengths... currently my plants all show there female parts at 3 weeks of vegging, so i popped 24 of them into flowering... so currently im flowering 23 plants at 6 weeks veg, 22 plants at 3 weeks veg, and 16 plants at 1 week veg in scrog...

show and tell! thanks in advance! i really want to get my grow dialed in, and im just about there only gotta figure out best time to flower to keep my perpetual off the hook.. between my my partner and i we are allowed 144 plants, we will be splitting these plants in 2 buildings. im not a noob, just looking for some help from people with experience. thanks in advance!

...nice grow dude, I also will be runing white lightning this year, but haven't flowered any of it yet, and I always veg for no less than 6 weeks usually...however in your stile grow, room for roots might become a concern, thats just a guess though...I bet 6 weeks yelds the most, but it would be intresting to find out, make sure to post once you know....

nice, well im sure if you count the small buds you would get alot more, but the way im seeing it is that im getting alot of popcorn because of light penetration issues when i veg for 6 weeks. im thinking decent buds i would probably get almost the same amount of a smaller plant with the light penetrating all the way down to the soil, rather than have all the light blocked halfway down the foliage.. so many variables its killing me!

appreciate your reply

I hear u screaming man, I 'm in the same boat with my haze right now, but what I figured I would do is harvest in stages, take all the colas and bigger buds from the top 11/2 foot of the plants, than trim them like a hedge and drop the lights on the remaining shrubs with small buds, let them go for 2 or 3 more weeks...what you think?

that sounds like it makes alot of sense, the only issue would be supplementing my perpetual harvest to make up for the couple extra weeks, ya gotta think it will take atleast 4-8 days for the plant to start producing again after you chop 1/2 of it down, right? i honestly dont know how beneficial it would be to do that in terms of time. so instead of flowering for 8-9 weeks your flowering for 10-13 weeks, seems a bit too long considering if my plan of 3 week veg works, than ill be able to veg 3 different grows before one harvest would be done completely

...I guess another way of looking at it would be that after loosing main colas and getting all that extra light on lower buds the plants will throw all theyr nutrients into that popcorn since thats the only chance those old girls have to mate...I think the time to mature those popcorn buds would be more like 10 days....but this is just a theory, we will know soon enough....
