They definitely had a nice start before the flip. How many weeks from seed has it been already... 14 or so? Or maybe I took one too many bong hits before counting lol.

Yeah they def got a good start. When i flip its gonns be 15weeks. Ive never vegged this long. Im trying to see
How it really affects yield. Also i really only vegged under the gees for 9 weeks therest was under a t5floro.
Too many dabs out of my modified e-cig pinof my multistrain bho.....lolz. you got anything vegging or flowering at the moment.. i like to see diff jpurnals..

I don't think it's so much a matter of time but maturity, and it does make a difference. Some plants will be mature enough to put out big buds at 4-6 weeks, others may need 8+. A lot of it is stem size and strength as much as anything go to flower too soon while they're weak and get weak yields... although for the sog style growing, all you really care about is how thick that main cola stem is :)

Reef the lenght of time = to how mature something is.My last batch i vegged for 12 weeks ( my reg is 8 )and i did notice that my 8 week strains finished in 7. Thanks for conferming. The stems on my bitches are rough due to all the constant crimping i do i veg.I dont really do a sog style growi just hate triming all that small popcorn bullshit. So farin vigor and struture in vegthese genetics look and grow great.lets see what they do in flower. Which from what i e seen just in reefers grow i shouldnt be disappointed.... thanks to all for chiming in...

Looking to set-up again in a few weeks. Dirt's a new game for me. It seems easy enough but I'm sure I'll have a learning curve. People always say hydro is hard but I find it easy and convenient. Top off your res. daily and adjust the ph every once and a while. Although everyone in dirt raves about the flavor difference so I won't knock it til I try it.

Hey Reef as far as maturity goes does that mean a mother today won't yield what she would in a year or are you saying a new mother with little veg time won't produce like a year old mother?

Neither I was saying maturity on one plant may be different from another it's more about the plant's overall development than a specific date... one plant may be good in 5, another 6, another 8. Also will depend on your light cycles the more dark hours your plants get the faster they are going to mature sexually. I end up going by date a lot out of necessity but things like branch/stalk size and development are a lot more important. Hoping to someday have a veg garden that allows me to not rush plants through veg to get them into flower but to only put them in when they're truly ready.

Been sampling black cherry soda pheno ace the last couple of days (fresh dried sucker branch buds that got trimmed)... mmmmm! i got blown out on just half a bowl earlier... and sat here for like a few minutes just going mmmmm.... mmmm.... mmmmMMmmmm.... mmmmmm. can't wait to see what the fully mature big buds are like :) this one looks like a lot of the GDP buds i've seen... there's a deep SOLID dark purple pheno in there somewhere tho hopefully i'll get one in the next 10 i didn't get it this time.

Im jelly.. ill be in ur shoes soon.
That's actually what the ace kinda feels like on the good phenos... like your insides are jelly :) one of the reasons its my faves i haven't had any other tga strains that do it's got one of the best body buzzes of the ones i've had... but it's not lacking in the headiness either

Quick update. There been less updates because i can only take so many veg shots before i go nuts..

Going to be flipping the lights in 3 days.

The canopy is really filling out.

The TGA side..



The whole garden.



Applied 2 inches of super soil to the top of each pot. applied a nice tea to water all the ladies for the transition.

Here a shot of the under side..



I love my homemade bubble cloner.. 7 days and roots.







Ohhh yeahh.

I had a 50% success rate with the other cloning method. Imma stick to what i know works for me..



I mean there alive butt there no comparison.. just my opinion.

Enjoy...

Actually they dont double in size. I minimize strectch by supplementing no c02 the first 3 weeks and i flower with plantmax mh bulbs.
Doing thiese 2 simple thinks my bitches dint strech that much at all. Youll see... ohh yeah.. if your scared go to church... im just saying....

Why not use the stretch to your advantage instead of wasting all that time in veg
you wouldn't have to go nuts taking all those veg shots.

What advantage of strectch, i know of none. Waste my time on alk of the veg time... Realllly. ??.
With only 2gees i veg longer to yield more. Its that simple. More Roots = More Yield. Thats elementary..
Thanks for ur 2 cents though... ohh and the veggi.g shots started to look the same so i stopped.ill be taking more shots in flowering....

Not to mention all that veg time gives a seedling a chance to reach full sexual maturity, which means a more potent plant than one that is flowered out when it's not fully mature.
