Lemon stinky - from seed to flowering?

[Lowryder1]

Hi,

had a look on this bud> Crazy X Seeds - Lemon Stinky - Online Shop

It says you can put it to flower from germination without the veg stage with 12-12 lightning, but does it mean that within two months(average flowering period) the plant will be ready? Or does it first have to go through the veg stage?

Also, what is the minimum a plant has to be in the veg stage or is there none required?

Thanks!

They say, hardly any stretch when induced to flower.

To me that says like nearly all normal weed, you should have a vegitative stage of at least a couple weeks, but more like a couple months, depending on your space available, etc. Then induce to flower.

It also says you can eliminate the veg stage if you want a dwarf plant. I think this is the same for most varieties. I know this is a common growing style for several people. You would only do this if you plan on compromising yield so you can keep them short and grow in a small space.

Also remember most weed doubles or triples in size when induced to flower. So if you go to flower when you have a 6 inch tall plant, plan on ending up with a 12 or 18 inch tall plant at harvest.

So with dwarfing the plant, it says it produces plant not more than 25 inches tall, this means the plant will be ready from seed to harvest with only the required flowering time, in about two months? Is this possible with any variety?

[Opie Yutts]

It is possible with most varieties. But as I said before, you would only do this if you are sacrificing yield for growing in a small space. Even if you don't veg, you'll want to make sure the plant is well established before flowering. Maybe at least 2 weeks after sprouting.

I got the idea that you could put it straight into flowering as it says - they can be put into flower from seed on 12/12 lighting, its just confusing because why say that without explaining it properly?

You can do this, and may people do. You can eliminate the veg cycle completely, but I imagine you'll want at least a week or so of veg time after the seed sprouts. It is common for people growing from clones to have no veg time at all, at least after the cutting has established roots. I prefer at least a month of veg, so I get some weed for my efforts.

I imagine some varieties will sprout from seed with only 12/12 lighting, but I'm not sure. I've never thought about that before. Anyone? Why not just use 24/0 or 18/6 until sprouting to be sure, and to give the plant the best start it can have? It can't cost that much more in electricity.

Now that I'm thinking about, MVP reported that cuttings taken during the flowering cycle seem to produce roots even before they have reverted to veg completely. To me this would indicate that seeds would sprout in 12/12 light, since they produce roots during the flowering cycle.

Thanks for the info opie yutts, i was gonna try this (eliminate the veg cycle) but its too risky as im on like my first grow this year so im gnna wait till i grow at least 2plants den ill start experimenting, but to be honest the first couple of weeks can get boring afta the veg cycle is over i dont mind waiting BUT some people find the last few weeks boring but you just gtta be patient, like you said id rather get (alot of) weed for the time and effort.
