Plan to veg. for 1 week, 2 weeks maximum. FIRST set of true leaves just appeared, so do I start countdown now, or wait for certain number of leaf sets? Also, with this short of veg. time, are veg. nutes even necessary? (grown in Fafard's potting mix) Thanks for replies. :)
what is your reasoning behind such a short veg? my opinion is that there is a reason that plants veg for a certain amount of time and then flower . the reason is that they have to grow enough to be able to obtain and store the energy they need to flower. because of this you should not try to shorten the veg time or the yield will be affected. another reason is that sexual maturity is in the dna. 8 year olds cant have babies for a reason and its the same with plants. anyways i could be totally wrong but i thought id put in my 2 cents.
Very limited grow space. LST will be utilized to help with the space issues as well. Been reading threads about individuals flowering from clones once they're rooted, and they are achieving fantastic results. Consider this an experiment. Thanks for the reply but have you any insight to the questions posed?
yea i dunno about any of that im on my first vgrow but i really love plants and am really into biology. i stretched my plants by having the light too far away from the plant. theyre already almost 2 feet tall. but yea one definite piece of advice if you have limited grow space is to keep the lights as close to the plant as you can without burning it that way it wont stretch too much and it will be short and bushy rather than tall and sparse. thats all i can think of.
Much appreciated, I will be sure to do that :jointsmile:
I would still do 1 week veg nutes
2nd week half n half
rest flower nutes
or maybe even 2nd week 3/4th veg nutes 1/4th bloom
3rd week half n half
4th + full bloom
Me too. :rastasmoke:Quote:

I don't know about quick vegging like that from seed...
Clones can produce desirable results with a short veg cycle because their genetics are starting at the point where they were taken from the mother, usually several weeks into veg.
might end up with a very small plant with a very small yield IMO
