i start when you see "the change" in the plants growth
this is about 5 days into 12/12
It has just started to get hairs as well ,
I think in my experience if you veg long enough then the plant takes about 2-4 days to change to flower mode but i presume this is affected by strain, in the past with short veg times i have had massive stretch for the first 3 weeks of 12/12 also takes a lot longer to change
so i would say minimum of 1 month veg
If like me you look at them every day then you should notice the change from veg to flower and take this as your start time but to be honest i dont monitor days it is better to just look and see if plant is ripe ,I use a pocket microscope to look at the colour of trichrome http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e8/Trichomes_Close_Cannabis.jpg these are clear to misted I go for 50/50 brown heads/clear heads

The reason I ask is because according to a long time grower (decades) on here by the name of 'collective gardener', using that method brought him the highest yields, in grams per watt, than any other hes ever tried. And coming from that man, it means a lot.
He said if it wasn't for the high plant counts (at time he said he'd need as many as 3,400) he'd still grow that way.
And to top it off he said he only used one 1000 light mover on every 4' x 8' table.
I did the math and 144, 7g plants would be 1008g or 35.5 oz.... That's over two pounds, actually 4 pounds per table, per 1000w lamp.

thats a load of dope from only 1000w still it's betterable it's just over 1gpw which we know can be topped. but theres a lot of factors involved . if your legal or dont fear the po po get on it. personally though even 144 plants is a bit too much for me.
cheers fella! I've been thinking about NFT or a DWC set up when i move. is the nft much maintenance?

Actually it works out to over 2g per watt.
9 plants per square ft on a 4' x 8' table = 288 plants
@ 7g per plants = 2016g or 71.1oz
2016g/1000w = 2.016 gpw
Which is almost unbelievable.
It's temptingas hell I'll say that.
Even I use a 600 watt light in only a 4x4' space, and only get 3g per plant that'd still be 432g or 15.238oz of dope.
Only 3g per plant!
Makes a pretty good argument for SOG if you ask me.

sorry i must have misread 1008grams to a 1000watt bulb is just over 1 gpw. now your saying 2000g's? thought you were originally working on 144 plants man!? either way it's tempting. who can be arsed with 288 x 3 gram plants though even 7gram plants. idk just seems like a lot of work
