Vegitation Time?

[headshake]

exactly midniter, i probably wasn't clear in my explination. they are looking really good though. i you can let them veg for a good bit longer if you want. esperically if you have ~6ft to work with. what are the other dimensions of your area?

headshake Reviewed by headshake on 12-02-2008. Vegitation Time? This is only my 2nd grow inside & i was wondering how long should i let my plants vegitate before turnning back the time to 12-12 & start flowering them?I was worried about them being to short & bushy but when i rasied the light up they took off.I figure they been vegging about 5 weeks now & i wasn't sure how long i should let them go before flowering time it's been a long time since i did inside grow.Thx for any info!

My space is around 4 foot x 6 foot & 8 foot high,i figure thats pretty good size to grow a descent size pants.I'm hoping i can get them around 3 foot high & put them into flowering then.I appreciate the info shake,i wish i'd talk to you before i started lol,i could have used my grow space in a better way than i did.As you said live & learn lol!I think they'll do ok around that height 2 1/2 to 3 foot in veggie then i'll cut light for 3 days on them,then put them on a 12-12 cycle & see the out come.I'll take some pictures every couple weeks and post them & maybe you & some others can give me some more good advice!Also on topping them i have plucked tops onetime should i do them like one-more time to get more runners on them?Thx for the info!

you're welcome midniter. i'm a noob myself. i just try to help when i can. like i said though, you might not be able to get them that big. you should try to check the root structure on one of them to see how big it is. you might be better off putting them into flower earlier and let them get as big as they can in bloom as opposed to letting them get big in veg and then not bloom good due to root structure/container issues. just a thought.

i'll keep helping out as much as i can. you can top then again. i haven't topped yet so i don't know much about it.

I just checked the roots out on a couple of them & they haven't went that deep yet.I'd say there probally around 5 inches down and plenty of room on the sides,so they have plenty of grow room for sure!What would be & idea size to start my 12-12?If they kep growing good like they are could i still go say around 2 1/2 feet & then put them into flowering?I took a small ruler & went around them and they will move if you start moving the soil so there not very deep.

After looking at my plants more closely this mornning i seen alittle yellowing on a couple of the leaves on 2 different plants,so i'm going to try and move the light up away from them by 6 inches & see if thy will stretch some.I'm not sure if this will work but it's worth a try to to get alittle more height on them,I also top them onemore time so i'm finished with that & i'll see where they go,i'll take more pictures in 1 week!
