Can you veg too long?

[moody420]

I've never heard of vegging for too long. alot of people constantly have the mother plant in veg cycle. Some strains are auto-flowering, so I guess you would just want to avoid that.

Also, I'm not sure why you would want to wait 10 months to start flowering. Seems a bit much, but if you can wait that long I say keep on doing what you are doing.

she is a monster.....looks good though! :jointsmile:

moody420 Reviewed by moody420 on 01-11-2010. Can you veg too long? I started two sets of plants at different times and I'm waiting for the small ones to catch up. Is it possible that the bigger can spend too much time vegging? Also what is the sign a plant is ready for flowering? Thanks Rating: 5

If ya really read what I said about the 10 months, one would see it is a mother plant that I veg for the 10 months then flower her. She becomes the 1 hit wonder I love so much.:thumbsup:

That's why I wait so long. I know some people who have mother plants for years before finally needing a change of meds because of the tolerance level.

i know of one single mama thats been vegging now under constant 24hr light for over 4 years. the base stem looks like a damn log and is about 7" thick. shes used strickly for cloning. i have to agree, the longer she vegges, the more potent the end result ( in my experience)...

hey jamessr, do you you grow outdoors in western or eastern washington? I live right outside of seattle and would like to ask you some NW outdoor questions?

Dont mean to jack the thread by the way.

As far as I know the longer the veg time, the bigger the plant, and the Bigger the yield.

S.W. vanouver area. Yes the larger the plant the more ya get in the end. I do not flower more than 6 at a time because of that issue.

They go indoors just as the winter rain comes so I can finish them, otherwise I get bad mold issues. I use containers trees come in from a nursery which means lots of growing products.

If I was in the seattle area I would cover them with clear plastic to keep the moisture off of them (cuts down on any mold issues because seattle is really moist in the air.)

I chuckle as I think about this.....We all went 10 months @^&$#$%@#^@#$ .....all forgetting that our mothers may be YEARS old........

i am already convinced that less that 6 weeks is a waste of time/money and effort..
the plants that are younger than my flowering gurls are larger and are now taking off after the flip..
and if they start out bigger then the ones i have now where will they end??
