So like I have two projects on mind, I'll share one which is the one I'm getting myself into right about now, I want advice on weather should I veg for longer and have less plants or just veg and flip after 1 week and have as twice as plants, hopefully you'll get what I mean! And I know it depends on many things, strain/nutes/lights/etc.. but mainly because I only have one tent and I hate vegging for too long specially if I can get maybe not the same but almost as much bud when vegging only for a week or so. If anyone has pics or at least info, before and after they flipped any the following strains:
Money Maker, White lemon, Damnesia, Ak48, WonderWoman, Bubblelicious, Snow White, Blue Mystic, PPP, Blueberry Headband, Sourkush aka Headband, Blue Widow, Critical , California Wildfire, Sour Puss, and those are pretty much the ones I can think of right now ! Please feel free to share photos or your knowledge about these strains! Also I'm using a 400hps, and I was thinking of going almost 12/12 from seed probably veg for a week maybe, but yea give me advice on what you guys think it's better, more plants and less veg, or less plants and more veg! I have like 3ft height but I know the light will have to be stronger to penetrate the canopy which means better ventilation as well and its just more $$ to be spend and well I just want to work with what I have so far, I have managed to keep my temps 75-80 with great harvest results so I'm just going to keep it that way this round as well. As far as how many plants I can fit in my space, it's a total of 18 in 3G pots, an inch or so apart from eachother. Now If I veg for only a week or so, would 3g pots be a bit too much? I know so many Q' s but I'd like to hear you guys opinions!! Thank you in advance everyone!

3 gal is way overkill for doin 12/12 from seed, I would use 1/2 gal pots or 1 gal at the most
I just finished a run with a bunch of 1/2 gal plants :)

Thank you for the suggestion and you posted a journal or something? if so can you share a link? im interested on 12/12 from seed but since im not familiar with any of the strains im not sure if it would be worth the try, Can you share any photos of your harvest also what strains did you grew? :clap:

No, my journal here started right after that run and is a from clone run, it was journaled at ICMAG I had several of my strains (I breed) and several others, none of what you named

Interesting stuff and i have never heard of gaslight veg method and does it really makes a difference compare to 18/6 in quatity or just a few more grams? also nice strains, I'd so come visit you whenever im in colorado id love to get my hands on such nice genetics!

It is more about reducing the stretch, the plants I just flipped only grew 4 inches in the first 2 weeks of flower

alright I see, but if it stretches only a bit that means colas are gonna be more fat than they would be in a regular 18/6 light schedule, right? I mean since its not putting any energy into a 50inch cola instead it puts into a 30inch cola(thats an example), idk if you know what im trying to explain lol.

it's not about yield, it's about control, very useful for growing Sativas indoors, which I do :)
