I left At least that many. I got lucky and his plant replaced lots of bud sites since I lolly popped it. There were also 4 huge fan leaves that were healthy I left them too. I am running the light at 24/7 now. It worked for me the last couple times. Do they really need some dark time now?
I used to run lighting that way until I had an old head tell me one time about 24/7 lightning, he said "How would you like to never sleep?" Made sense to me and since then I run 20on/4 off, 18/6 and 16/8 depending on what I have going on. Plus you save money on electricity! The 20/4 is what I use in the reveg process, 18/6 normally and 16/8 for starting seeds, just a thought. Good luck on your reveg!

Update !!! I was able to get a couple seed shipments out for 420. Blueberries n Chocolate fems, some Chocolate Diesel fems, and some Chem D x Chocolate Diesel Fems. I have been moving plants to the isolated spot, that's fun......lol. Gonna have some more Double Dipped Strawberries, Gelato #45 x Chocolate Diesel, Skywalker OG x Chocolate Diesel fems. Also a bigger batch of the Blueberries n Chocolate fems are in the oven.

It amazes me the progress of our thread while I have been absent, you folks are something else. I certainly miss all of you from the bottom of my heart !!! Just know that while i'm not with you daily, my heart is with ya every day. Your continued support is certainly appreciated. Be safe, and I hope this message finds you and yours well.

Looking nice and healthy. But they are going to get crowded soon, are you planning on giving them a little more space? I'm sure they would love you for it if you can, if not, make sure to get them lots of fresh air and keep on eye on the humidity, etc. that's a lot of plants jammed into a small spot, but that's cool really. I like seeing an over-full room way better than seeing a room with a ton of light and a couple small plants, for some reason that really drives me nuts. Something about all those wasted photons grinds me, you won't have that problem. But if you can spread them out as much as possible while keeping them as close to the lights, with lot's of air circulation it will help.

I'm sure you must have read a lot or watched a lot of video's so you must know most of that but since you said you were a noob I thought I'd suggest. They are looking very healthy, good job so far. Looks like you are training them too, that's good. Good luck.
Just pulled two.. But the count will probably rise... still though kinda sticky..

Some folks say that plant physiology differs between day and night and both are important. Others swear by 24/7 light for vegging. Higher electricity bills and heat are other considerations. Either way, if there's been a definitive study proving one or the other approach is "right" I haven't seen it. Which is not to say it isn't out there.... :)

20/4 is what I learned many years ago and stuck with, because it made sense and worked. The most important things are to shock the plant out of flowering mode and to keep cycle time consistent while doing so. If 24/7 is working for you, nuff said!

That's one argument I try to stay out of, but I'll get into it anyway lol.

I've run them both ways so many times, yet I still can't say which one is better, although that alone should tell us something. When there is no clear consensus it's generally because there isn't a clear cut winning way to do it. I grow in an unheated basement so leaving them on 24hrs a day makes sense for me because I'd have to be running a heater during their down time anyway, so no savings in electricity for me during the winter, just the potential for a longer cycle, which would actually mean it cost me extra time and money to veg that way. I give them a four hour rest period or even longer when it's the other way around and I'm paying to remove heat, although I've switched to vegging under LED during the Summer months and with a cool basement there isn't any need to remove the heat. During the winter I veg with HID's rather than having to supply them with light and heat from two different sources .

I can't say that I've noticed a difference in total weight either way. As long as my plants are health and my canopy is full I get about the same yields regardless of how I vegged them. It's certainly close enough that I've never been able to tell the difference and If I could tell, then obviously I'd have decided on which is better and stuck with it. I can say this for sure, my yields are FAR more dependent on the amount of light I'm hitting them with along with the size of the pots I have them in than how I vegged them. A person would be very hard pressed to tell the difference in a room at harvest that was started under 24 vs started under 20 but it's not at all hard to tell if you haven't given them enough light or enough room for their roots to grow, same thing for a number of other factors, the hours of light during veg can't be all that important because if it were someone would have answered this one definitively long ago because it would have been just as obvious as not having the right lights or soil. At best it's a small difference, small enough that so far nobody has proven one way or another what's optimal and what isn't.

Where your seeds are, your there.. As long as plants from your seeds live, you live.. By doing what you do you've caused a ripple in time that will last forever. Well at least that's what the neighbors dog Sam told me... Jk
