Started a new plant, how long do I veg for?

[JustinxM]

So I would be able to add a soft white lightbulb to provide more lumens? and as long as I kept the lights 24/0 it won't flower? would it increase the speed of vegging?

I guess the better way of asking the question would be can I veg a seedling with warm soft white bulbs (the bulbs i would naturally use for flowering on a mature plant) instead of the blue natural daylight bulbs used for vegging the seedlings.?

and yes Poker I am/was confused because after answering BWD I had a few new answers from you guys. lol

JustinxM Reviewed by JustinxM on 02-12-2011. Started a new plant, how long do I veg for? So after my very first plant grow it turned out to be a male... :( and was an experimental plant so not knowing what to do I may have ended the veg cycle earlier and went to flower and then went back to vegging thinking it was too early. I had veg lights on him for about a month and again was 24/0. I've started on another plant. I was wondering how long should I veg for? As of right now my veg cycle is 24/0 for about 1 and a half weeks into growing. I'm just asking so my plant doesn't veg Rating: 5

To answer your lighting question, yes you can use either or both spectrums for vegging.

It is not the color temperature that makes cannabis flower.
It is the length of the day that determines this. (Unless it is an auto flower strain.)

Many people like to use both spectrums because it is closer to natural sunlight.
Others use only an hps during the whole grow cycle.

More lumens is almost always a good thing. So get those lights in there! :thumbsup:

Tiki did a good job summing up your last question :hippy::jointsmile:

Can anyone tell me why I have white powder growing on the leaves? not the 2 small very first leaves but the next set of 2. Is this normal it happened to my first plant also. this is only my second grow so I'm not sure if it's okay or not.

Pics would be very helpful.
Could be some type of mould? could be some types or bugs? Could be a deficiency?

I'm honestly not sure. Post pics and if that doesn't solve it fill out the troubleshooting form.
Sorry couldn't be more help. Maybe after seeing pics I can.:hippy:

I think I already covered it with BWD. I think it's a sun bleach from possible spraying leaves. It appeared today. nothing this morning to whats on it now. I think it's okay I was just wondering what it was.
