So, I've been looking in many different place and can't seem to find a concrete answer on this (first time grower). What is the average veg, flowering and harvest times? I'm 6 weeks into veg an my babies are around 2- 2 1/2 feet tall. Any suggestions on how long to continue to let veg?
Also, when should I sex them?
Thanks for advice :D

This is also my first grow but heres what i know. The average for indoor 4-6 weeks veg and 6-8 weeks flower, some are going to go longer or shorter depending on the plant. The longer u veg the longer you flower the more you get from a plant. I switched mine at 4-1/2 weeks they were between 12 and 15 in at the time. Expect them to double in size during flower.
Hope this helps a little.:peace:

Sounds good. I'm only 4 days in to flower now. Pretty sure I found one girl hoping for 4 more!!

4 - 8 weeks veg plus whatever the strain says for flower would be average. Veg as long as you want, the longer you wait the bigger the plant the better the yield. Plus a tip I've got recently is to start counting the flowering time after the plant shows it's sex and you'll be pretty close as to when your plants are ready.

An average veg is, veg until plant shows sex/mature/alternating nodes. Normaly about 2 months.
Flowering time ranges from 8-11 weeks. Sativia go long in flower.

As far as a concrete answer you will probably never get one because it is more a preference and setup situation. Everyone does things a little different, you just have to look at the answers and decide what works best for you.

I'm learning that for sure! I try to read carefully before I act, Ive noticed that it differs with grow mediums as well. I watched Jorge Cervantes Ultimate Grow DVD 1 last night.....

Ive got some pics up if you wanna see them :)

So here they are. The first one nearly died, and I topped it..so it looks a lil weird. But, I think they look pretty good. Anyone got any suggestions-do they look like they are close to bloom stage?!

Just don't forget to take into consideration your ceiling height. Depending on strain and grow setup you can end up with a plant 2 or 3 times taller than it was when you started the flowering. :shock: Not that I think you are going to have this problem right now. It just can happen.
