veg = vegetative growth

it's the way your plant grows on 24/0 or 18/6 lighting.

i veg for 6-8 weeks. i never notice any slowed growth from repotting. i actually notice a burst of growth the day after i repott. imo more repotting is better. i'm not in a hurry, if i was i wouldn't grow pot! everyone seems to want to grow fast! no matter how you look at the quickest flowering is around 45 days or so, if you have a separate veg chamber as i do then there is more than enough time to vegg while the current crop flowers. my stains are all 60-80 days so i have more than enough veg time.

also, if you are very carefull not to disturb the rootball there will be no transplant shock or retarded growth, at least i have never had that problem. i also use thrive alive red (b1) with transplants
