control veg state?

let me get this straight. with the constant 18/6 light cycle, i can keep the plant in the veg state for pretty much as long as i want?

Provided you take care of it and are able to meet its needs I dont see why not. People keep mothers for clones.

Yep. Some people keep their girls in veg for a long time, growing them nice and tall/thick. Then, around mid-april, they transport them outside for the rest of the process. The final product is huuuge.
