Ok so i have plants that have been in veg for 3 weeks,
They are just bagseeds i planted to get more expeirence, for when my ak and chrystal seeds come.
Can i go ahead and put the plants in flowering, so there close to done for when i get my seeds?
I know alot depends on strains and such, but i got no clue on flowering.
Thanks in advance

When starting from seed the general rule is to wait until you see alternating nodes (non-symmetrical branches). That indicates that the plant is ready to show it's sex and ready to flower.
If you plan on keeping these plants around a while i would suggest cloning for sex (take a few clones from each plant, mark each clone well so you know which plant it came from, once the clones root, put them in flower, in 1-2 weeks you'll be able to separate the girls from the boys).
If you are just trying to gain experience then wait until you see alternating nodes then throw them all into flower...sort out your males asap and let the ladies do their thing. When your good seeds come in you should have a good grasp on what is to come.
I personally like a longer veg time...anywhere between 4-8 weeks depending on my method (SCROG vs. LST vs. big ol' bush) I'm a big fan of a low plant count and i find that my long vegs yield more.
good luck.

Thanks for the info
Yes im not to worried about yields on this first batch of swag.
Im just getting my feet wet for when my good seeds come.
I wait until my plants show sex.. A lot of people run very short veg times, but in my experience this can cause plants to hermy because they have been put into flowering before they are sexually mature... The alternate node thing works but then again Ive had plants(Most MandalaStrains) that will absolutely show no alternate nodes until there well into 12/12.. I agree with elskeetro.. I like to vegg them longer and run fewer plants from seed most of the time. Nice yields from mature ladies...two cents... Good luck d:rastasmoke:
