How long do you veg

Like the title says how long do u veg how many nodes my plants have 4 nodes

You have to veg alot longer then 4 nodes.. How old is the plant?? I vegged till mine were about a month old due to limited space..

1 month old really really short abd bushy

4-6 weeks here seems to do the trick for me

Have heard rumors from folks on here that clones don't need any veg time at all. Just start them in flower as soon as they are rooted. Now never have practiced that technique. I usually let them veg until they get half as tall as the ceiling in the flowering room. Last batch of clones vegged 2 months keeping them fimmed and topped waiting for their Moms to ripen up.

wait for the nodes to start showing inter-nodal growth -- once you see stuff popping out of the joint, you CAN, but i like to wait until i have a bushy one

Plants in hydroponics will grow two to three times bigger when they flower. I usually veg three weeks and mine are huge in the end.

good call green thumb -- they dont stop growing. unless you use...bushmaster? i forget the name... but if height is an issue -- its a savior!

I figure a 13 week cycle, 4.5 of veg and 8.5 of flower. If it needs to go over it goes over.

I veg for 3 weeks top's from seed now with my particular strains. In DWC. They all finish at or beyond the grow characteristics and hieghts given by the breeder's..
So depending on ur style of grow..Soil or hydro?...
And the size of ur grow space this will determine how long u want to veg..
Peace.

I wait until the plant shows me it is mature. It's mature when the leaves are not right across from each other. Some strains do that at 4 weeks and some wait a bit longer. I usually send mine to flower at about 5 weeks from emergence of the seeding. Just watch for the change.

I do it by the size.
I currently bloom at 6-8" so they max at about 2.5 ft.
If you bloom at a foot they will easily be 3-4 ft tall at the end.

It is all relative though to your lights and how you fim, prune, supercrop, etc.
It is also all relative to how much you are trying to yield as well and how often.

If you are doing personal vs. business its totally different. I am like 50% personal here so its not important for me to "maximum yield" and also inherently "maximize risks"... weigh your needs/wants. Big plants need big lights and create BIG SMELLS. LIKE WHOA. I had 3- 4 footers that easily stunk up a 2000sq ft house.



Play with it.

Thanks everyboddy for the input my plants are 8'' tall and about foot wide next res. Change going into buddin

it depends on the strain

5 to 6 weeks does it for me

Ak-47 and white widow

I have done it different ways...

Mostly ZERO VEG Clones... SOG style...







































But I do have the girls going... they wre moms for a year.. then I vegged them for 4 weeks..

yup i do the same depends on strain though. but the best is to wait untill ou get alternating nodes

~5 months veg will get you a few nodes: Not really practical though.

thats a fucking tree!! right on man good job.. i wish i had the space for that bad girl

Depending on the space I usually like to veg for 7-8 weeks. I'm into day 9 of flowering and she's at 37 inches tall with over 30 tops.
