Longer veg = longer flower
so, are you meaning that my 3 1/2 month vegged plants are now going to take longer to finish because of the longer veg time? makes no sense. do you also mean that if I do 12/12 from seed the flower time will be shorter? sounds odd to me.

Weird I know… but I’ve done it. Here's the link.. this was about 30 days before harvest. 3 1/2 months veg, and 4 months flower.

Longer veg does not directly translate to longer flower. That’s one of the silliest things Ive heard in a long time.

If your plant takes forever to flower it’s either genetics or environment, that’s it.

Veg time only impacts plants size.

Longer veg time absolutely does NOT mean longer flowering time. Flowering time is the same weather you veg for 3 weeks or 8 weeks. If this were the case outdoor strains would never finish before winter.

I’m just telling you my experience with it. This was the last of a pheno that I had for 4 years, so I knew it wel.l Normally, I’d do 8 weeks veg, and she’d finish in 11 weeks flower. Only thing I can think of is that I highly trained this one. Many toppings and super cropping. IDK. It’s just what happened.

sounds like after 4 years you realized that it was an 11 week flowering plant to me.

It was when I vegged for 8 weeks. But 3 1/2 months veg, it just took longer. Does that video look like it's ready at 12 weeks?
Honestly my last post was meant to be a joke, I wasn’t trying to be rude fyi.

Really the only explanation would be environmental changes extending the flower period. I had a cold snap slow down my plants by 3 weeks one time. They finished just like normal they didn’t have any deficiencies or issues but they grew very slowly at the beginning of flower.

That's understandable, but this one was grown in the same building as my commercial crops. I can't explain it... it was just an experiment to see what would happen with a long veg. I had the room, and time in my mother tent to try it. Made 2.47 lbs anyways.
