i have 6 clones


i have read about people leaving in vegging for only 2 weeks
and others for about 6 weeks

what are the benefits of going loner or shorter
whats a better way to go>?

hmm, the benefit of vegging longer is that your plant can bulk up. applying methods like fimming and supercropping (my fav) will increase your yield too, but require longer veg cycles.

vegging quick and throwing into flower is a quick way to grow bud.

other factors are also a consideration...if lighting is a problem, an even canopy would be better -- so as to localize your light, rather than the bottom portions dying -- or you can clip it off and simulate a sog with the plant...

essentially, the longer in veg, the more bud you get.

but certain strains autoflower, so they do their own thing.

Good Answer. I am a hard core veger. 11 weeks from seed.

thanks -- me too -- for some reason, i think its more legal (or, less illegal perhaps) to have one massive plant than 50 clones. on paper, looks entirely different, and the yields are comparable

ive learned that the plants dont really care about schedule as much as i do -- go 6 weeks and see where you are :)
