My plant is 10 days old now..What would happen if I started flowering it in like 5 days? And around how much would the yield be? Its about 3 inches right now.

Thanks RIU.

Depends on individual plant/strain. Apparently LOTS of people go to 12/12 the entire grow time (or at least restrict vegging to 1 or 2 weeks). This is what is done in a SOG growing. You won't get much per plant (probably around 7 to 10 grams of bud on average, and you will just have 1 bud per plant normally) but you can plant a LOT more in a limited space and the cycle time is reduced so you get more harvests in a year. I'm germinating some bag seeds to experiment with this very thing right now. My plants just started 12/12 about 6 days ago so I said WTF, all I can do is waste some bag seeds!! And if it works, I'll get a few ounces more (I'm going to try a 4 sq. ft. area (that's all I have available in my room at the moment) with 4 or 5 plants per sq.ft. If results are at all positive I'll post them.

Did you start from clone or seed? If it was a seed from what I have read they need a month of growth to mature before going to 12/12. If she was a clone then once rooted you could go 12/12 and chop the bottom branches so the nutes go to one main cola, like stated above the SOG method.

Good luck on your grow man:bigjoint:

negative results would also be apreciated for future preferance.,.,depends on how fast ure plant is growing also i would wait till it had a couple of nodes at least to start flowering im bout to flower a fairly small plant that i lst/topped.,just waiting for a couple sho0ts to clone.,.and off i go.,.

It was a seed. I'm not going to do this, I was really just wondering how much bud I would get. But I'll take 2 ounces over 10 grams any day, so I guess I need patience:blsmoke:

Thanks guys.

That is the hard part Jimi!!! Patience during flowering is a bitch too, especially when it's close to harvest!bongsmilie
