What would 8 weeks in veg yield

8-9 weeks of flowering will guarantee the full range of cannabinoids.

The bigger the range of cannabinoids that develop over 8-9 weeks will make your buds more potent and sticky and juicy...you get the idea.
I wouldn't harvest any earlier than 8 weeks. The yield all depends on your growing skills to give the plants perfect growing conditions. Trust me, i'm a botanist, thats a plant scientist for those that don't know. GL with the grow.

EDIT; Heh I came back to check this thread after passing into a ganja coma, I thought you said flowering but you didn't, you said extra veg time. I shouldn't post when I'm high man.

4 weeks veg.-8 to 10 weeks flower (depending on strain, and type of high ur lookin for) the extra 2-4 weeks veg your talking about will make little to no difference in yield!

Ill be using several CFL's in case that is a factor as well.

Also, have any of you guys had experience with this strain, whats it like?

Longer veg = better yield if you're doing everything else right.

These are around 7 weeks into veg. You wont be able to use CFLs with plants like this when they go into flowering.

First picture - 11/4 - Fifteen plants
Second picture - 11/18 - Four plants (the rest are moved because of size - imagine 9 more)

Two weeks of veg absolutely makes a difference on yield.

using cfl's there's no reason to veg for 8 weeks. Cfl's don't have the proper light penetration needed to flower a bush unless you have several cfl's surrounding 1 plant. What will happen is that they'll grow tall and all the under growth and branches will start to die, and/or be budless, and you'll be left with a palm tree in which nutes will have to travel farther to feed the buds. CFL's work best vegged for 3 weeks while topped and lst'd on indica's. You can have a lot bud sights on the first 4 inches anything below that isn't going to be quality.
