Veg. vs. Flower time

[smokejaguar]

Trying to make a formula of veg time isnt going to work.The time necessary for a worthwhile grow during veg has too many variables.Everything is by unique observation.My last grow was 20 Apollo 11's.In that group(all seed produced from 2 of my plants) I had extreme variations.Combine this with the natural growth drop off after each Topping and Pinching, youll never force it to a schedule.You must develope an approach and an eye for doing whats best for each plant and the group.-usdi Agaluga

When you gain more experience then you can schedule plants to with in a week to 10 day's of X date. I do it every single month of the year and I only veg for 3 weeks from clone.

From seed then need at least 30 day's to mature.

From clone they inherit the age of the mother so you can veg shorter and finish faster. There are many products you can buy that do cut the flower time and start the plant into flower about a week ahead on normal time to start flowers. CO² will also reduce your flower time by as much as 2 weeks and increase you yield by as much as 20%.

More experience.Lets see .Ive been growing 30+ years.I produce 3-4 grows a year for much of that time.Before indoor lights I grew outdoors and planted feilds from Mexico to the Great Lakes.If you bought Maui Waui from Hawaii in the late 70's it probably game from us, out of Texas.So forgive me if I doubt your ability to make such a formula out of something with as many variables.Not everyone grows from clone stock or by hydroponics.Your approach pretty much relys on that.-usdi Agaluga

Well I have you beat by a few years and I don't grow swag outdoors. The Maui I got in those day's came from Maui not Mexico or Texas. There was regular delivery service from a few Stewardess who flew that route every day from LAX.

If you stick around here long enough you may learn something, if you're nice.

Except we shipped it to Hawaii for sale in that market.Thats way your never really sure about anything you dont grow yourself.And a product that passes for top grade must be top grade, not SWAG.-usdi Agaluga

P.S. If I started growing before I was 20 and your 10 yrs younger than me the only way youve done this longer is start growing at 10.The only person I know who started that young was my daughter.-usdi Agaluga

I started my first plant at 14 like most other kids, I just kept on growing.

But if you know everything then there is nothing I can teach you. Why not write a book or too? I guess there is nothing you can learn from me then. But If I keep reading post with incorrect information or confusing information I will continue to post the correct information to keep this board correct and on track.
This is not OG and kiddies don't rule here. (not saying you are a kiddie)

anyway have fun dude.

okay then, so much for this thread, lol.

I have a few plants that had very small flowers at the middle and bottom where I had a light problem. I cut the flowers from the top a few days ago. How long can or should I keep the plants going to harvest the rest of the flowers? Am I able to keep cutting on the plants with out any negative side effects? Is it worth doing this or is it best to start with some more plants?
