Well the title says it all, would like to here from others, on how long you veg your plants, and what are the average height after the stretch.
i veg clones 50 days under CFL's thier in 2 gal bags by time i flower they average 3ft tall when placed into flower. i use fox farm ocean forrest soil i use bush master to stop stretch and they finish approx 4ft.
indicas will stretch 2-3 times size when flowered
sativas will stretch 3-5 times size
in other words a 1ft tall plant indica can and most likely will reach 3ft
a sative will reach 5ft n/p. ive had sativas in 1 gal bags reach 5-6ft tall n/p
if your envroment is good - perfect your internode spaceing is min and your root mass has properly colinized the soil erea your stretch should be a min.
Couldn't of said it better , only thing I would add is that w/ seedlings you want to veg them for atleast 4-6 weeks depending on your height restrictions before flipping.. not all strains stretch so don't always count on it.. I've had 1.5-2ft plants because I didn't veg them long enough thinking they would stretch lol
Was just trying to see what everyone else is doing, but here you go.you ask alot,
and without giving any specifics.
light, strain, space. and so on.
Heres an ICE I just flipped 1 day ago with 6+ weeks veg.
Was just trying to see what everyone else is doing, but here you go.
They are 16 days old, working on the 5 nod now, 2 tangerine dream, one warlock, one eva seeds poison.
They are under a 400w MH right now and will be under a 400w hps when i flip to 12/12. They are in a tent 2.7x2.7x6 feet. I have 3.75FT. of useable height. I have grown in the tent before and veged for 6 weeks, would go 5 weeks now and train but.
My wife has a job were she is away, she will be back and when she comes home she will want to go home to see family, sometime in june.
I would like to go with her but, my plants are 16 days old and i would have to flip very soon for the TD to be done middle of june or for that matter the poison, and warlock which will take to the beginning of june.
So you can see my problem. Go see the family, we dont get to see very often, or veg and reap the reward.
Was trying to get an idea of how much i would get off them, i know it depends on alot of things. one of them being me putting them in flower early.
dang you guys like the small plants don't ya??
I flip at minimum 30 inches of height. Low plant numbers but big yields. Last plant I chopped down was only 48 inches and yielded about 10 zips.
