Hey Scotty, I had trouble with thrips when growing in soil, so I turned to the Kratke method with two 4" round bubblers in each bucket and had incredible plants with no pests. I grow indoors. Also, I put 2 grow lights sideways, along with the one above. The side lights give light to the lower parts of the plants, and it makes the entire plant killer buds. The lower buds are just as great as the top ones. Smells like candy and it's stickier than a door knob at a P Diddy mansion party.
I’m livened to grow 117 plants indoors here in bc. I make my own concentrates and I no longer take pain medication for my back . This really is a special plant
I'm no taking more methadone and Xanax and all those stuff because if my beautiful plants...is magic..I now why is illegal expecially here in Italy.vatican and mafia are the reason.they don't even want CBD imagine
Great info scotty and Hi C! Times are changing and there are so many different directions you can go with growing. I've been an outdoor grower since the early 80s and been indoor for the last7 years. I'm still learning and enjoy every show. It's true the first thing to look at for veg is space and it only gets smaller as your plants go to flower. you can start 4 little seedlings in a 4x4 room and think that's not enough but by halfway through flower the room could be way to small if left to veg too long. It's trial and error and you have to learn, and after 7 years I'd like to think there is a better way to grow so I listen to every bit of advice I can. Dude Grows is a legit way to get that info and enjoy an hour of your day. Thanks guys! 💯
I took a 4 month RV trip and left my plant in veg for about 5 months in a 5x5. I flipped when I got back. Im in the last few days of flower. This thing is enormous and has completely filled my 5x5. So many flowers!!! My biggest tent grow ever! Beautiful plant, I almost hate to chop it this weekend
@@87Rado I had a friend watering for me with adding molasses, seaweed extract and epsom salt. Shes a great friend and did a great job. I just couldnt burden her with the responsibility of flipping it. Its such a great plant. Im really proud of this one!
Even in my 4x4x7ft tent if i dont top, the plant will hit the light after only 3 weeks veg. If you grow indoors, topping, at least, is a must. Hands down the best person to listen to for advice that you can actually understand.
I fill my 4x4s about 3/4 full with 6 plants per 4x4 in 3 gallons. Rooted clones veg approximately 2 weeks. The 3 week stretch helps finish filling the scrogs.
Scotty, man im so glad to see you putting out content! Im just a little home grower from Oklahoma, and i just gotta say i will not have a single run without recharge! thanks for that product man! Now i gotta check out these grow dots .Very nice to have such a trusted source of relly good info.
A good tip for people who have low ceiling height with plants . What we did was grow in 3 gallon buckets put your small cutting in the centre,then put a 2 foot square mesh over the top, something quite strong. Then when the plant grow out above the bucket tie it down to the mesh. Do this when the plant is only 5 or 5 inches tall so still flexible. Then anything that grows tie it loosely to the mesh leaving room in the not for the stem to thicken up. Then keep tieing the plant down until it completely fills the mesh. At this point there should be no stems any higher than about 4 inches and the hole mesh piece is full. Then put it into flower ,so you basically have a plant on its side it will only grow about 3 feet high after 8 weeks. But you get a canopy nearly all the Same. Try it because it really works.
New grower up north , this is my 4th grow . Indoor Sativa one plant and I'm week nine in veg. Plants doing amazing with SOG topped 3 times , 5by5 by 8 . ITS ABOUT 3.5 feet tall in its 10galllon. 420 soil using dry amendments GAIA green 4.4.4 with Neptune sea weed and fish. Water from my well ,never check PH plants always green and mean with Cal Meg. I'm hitting 9 weeks in Veg and going. My outdoor ones started in door ,16-week veg , monsters in 17 gallon bin.
From popping a bean 10 weeks min to flip. then 2 weeks into flower start new beans gives me two weeks to use flower room as cure room. veg room 8x12 -flower room 12 x 12 (2) T-5 veg (3) LED flower (1) CMH Flower for added heat source in winter Great Show........
Vegging for too long can lead to having lots of fongi or even root rotting , small plants are easier to manage move around and the trimming part is usually easier too.
Thanks for the detail oriented presentation. I always get good info here. I made some adjustments to my grow today and separated young seedlings into their own room so I can give them more light! Now I just need to top off my reservoir and adjust the pH to the right level.
Very nicely done and well thought out. However, I believe flowering your traditional plants comes down to personal preference and space. I've since become and auto flower grower, no guess work involved, no changing light cycles it's almost plant and forget (well almost). Anyway, good job!
When mine are about to go into flower I like to take yarn and pull everything apart to hold everything down then it’s more bush like. I’ve done this with 12 foot trees. It also helps with airflow and light penetration
This is my first time with grow dots.. And they look wonderful. The only thing I’m a little puzzled about is how can you do grow dots if you’re doing short cycles like 2 to 3 weeks of veg? That means you’re still gonna have nitrogen in your system. Anyway. I’ve watched a lot of channels and I’m three weeks in and my plants look like most peoples six weeks🤔 not sure if it’s the dots how I did my soil or my CO2 or all three combined, but I’m extremely happy with what’s going on so far.
I scrog every time, so it depends on how many I grow to fill my 3x3. I veg 1 plant 60 days, 2 plants for 30 days, and 4 plants for 2 weeks. I go through an ounce per week and this seems to keep me away from the dispensary in the neighboring state. I live in an 'other than legal' state.
I agree with shorter veg time for faster harvest, running pure clones, im running sea of green atm with some Afghanicas/BLD just because i want to get a quick harvest in before rainy reason starts outside, and i already ran the long flowering NLD's . but one point i must stress, is the older plants ussualy have more complex terpene profiles and ussualy better effects flavors, and potency, if your taking from a mature clone it doesn't matter as much since its from mature plant. but if your growing from seed and your doing sea of green, your really going to hurt the quality of your buds by flowering them before the plant is at its sexual maturity. the plants higher in myrcene generally will switch to flowering faster after light switch. if your after maximum yield per light in a certain amount of time yes, sea of green from clones. but if your after cannabis cup buds, give your plants a long veg, and don't flip them until they show preflowers in veg, showing there sexually mature and ready for flip. when you flip the plants b4 there mature it hurts the overall quality.
I'm just starting growing. I use to grow in high school. But, now I'm in my 50's and growing for my own medicine. I'm all natural and full organic and I grow all outside in North Florida. I have been letting my plants veg for 8 weeks and I keep them short. I have a Vietnamese Mango that is in flowering stage after 6 weeks and one of the 6 Tangi BX2 just went into flower this week. Also growing a Tennessee whiskey Kush that is still in veg and it's going on 10 weeks now.
Great content. I'm going through and watching a lot of stuff. I love it. You gotta get a camera mount that isn't attached to the table. It's like a found footage/shaky cam sometimes. haha.
I have been vegging for about 8 weeks, but I am going to try a sea of green next round to see what it is like. I use a 5 x 5 tent now, for the last round before that a 2 x 4 closet. In the closet I almost had to use 8 weeks.
I veg for about 2to3 weeks.... sea of green leads to mold and mildew... if your living in a humid climate i don't recommend it. Also another thing i want to say is when growing outdoors make sure you check to see if there designed to be grown indoors or outdoors.... some of the indoor strains don't flower before its too late in the fall
yeah getting seeds that were grown outdoors and seeded outdoors is another huge thing i would add. if your growing outside. So many breeders seed indoors.
4x4 tent, 4 sativas that stretch 3x, i like an 8-10 week veg (lots of training) in 7 gal fabric. TONS of roots. use a net up high to keep the branches from bending over. ive discovered that the marshydro fce4800 can only do a maximum of 20 O's without CO2. thats something that nobody mentions= the maximum light potential. ive tried 5 plants, and 1 plant in a 4 gal square bucket veg'd to the walls, and everytime is the same 20 O's. same with a smaller cabinet. which is a mars ts1000, max is 8 O's. doesnt matter if multiple 1 gals or 2- 7 gals, always 8 O's in the 6sqft cab. ALSO - my rule of thumb is same number of weeks as there is gallons of soil. 7 gal pot = about 7 week veg. you dont want to under utilize the amount of soil. just like your light draw at the wall should equal the sqft of the space converted to grams. so- 16 sqft to grams 448w. roughly. and good starting point is total gals soil = sqft of space. 16sqft tent divided by 4 pots is 4gals each, then those would want about a 4 week veg. but if you plan to veg longer, just increase pot size. sorry for the long winded reply, i enjoy watching/listening to many grow channels and have yet to hear anyone mention this easy formula for beginners. thank you for the awesome content.
i havent purposefully purchased auto seeds. however, i did come across 2 seeds in a 5 pack of fem photos that started flowering when i transplanted out of the solo cup under 18/6. I add nutes to soil and if I had known they were auto, i would have mixed different ratios (for the short veg. they turned out super leafy and airy due to too much nitrogen in flower). they were in my usual 7 gal fabrics and got 4 O's each. BUT... that was in the wood cabinet that maxes at 8 anyway. the 7 gals i thought were too big. by the end of flower the soil wasnt drying fast enough (seemed like the plants just stopped taking up water) and i was worried about mold. from what ive heard from everyone else: 5 gals is the right size for autos if you have some experience already. @@justinholtgrave
I'm new to growing so forgive any ignorance here.... But what do you mean by O's? Said it's got a max of 20 O's and you said another time 8 O's. Is this something I should know and need to know?
i would say the weight is more Strain dependent then light dependent. Also all your info is meaningless as you fail to mention from seed or clone. So any time mentioned means nothing.
My indoor grows i usually veg for 2-3 months , mainline is must for me cause of the 2x4 tent but i yield alot , this summer however im getting a larger tent so i can start growing 3 months before moving them outside which ill end up having giant trees for my outdoor grow season lol
Only 3 inches. . In have this grow light I got from Amazon. I grew auto flowers in it and they had very tall bushy side stalks and a crazy main cola. I’m growing a photo and it’s doing the same. My photo has over 12 tops with out topping and they are all almost as tall as the main bud cola site.
I have a question, great info btw, so my question is…… I’m have a plant growing out side, does this mean that I’ll just have to leave it to do its own thing? Or will it just go into flower its self? It’s an auto cookies Kush. Hope some one can help. Thanks 🙏
Depends if im hand watering in an R&D tent or running an automated Drip system. Comes down how im set-up, clone or seed, a # of things like you said. My ideal set up is 1-2gal and crop steering so 1-3 weeks from clone turn and burn.
I'm currently having my plants grow by my window facing south. They're in week 9, I'm wondering if it's in the last week of veg? I live in Illinois. Would like to hear back from you Scott!
I had monster cropped clones given to me and it took 4 weeks to re vedge and there 6 weeks into good vedge now. There Blueberry Jiu-jitsu so it's going to be so worth it
Depends on how many plants, how much space you’ve got. Bout to hunt a couple packs in a 5x5 gonna give em maybe 2 weeks 18/6 since I know both parents stretch pretty hard. Besides I’m almost out of my last harvest 😅 so less veg time = weed sooner
I veg for three months from seed, so I have nice mature plants that will maximize resin production. Unfortunately, when you flower under 60-65 days for an indica or less than 70'75 for a sativa, your resin production will take a hit. Fron colonel I flower at the height and age I choose as the colonel are considered to be the same age as the mother so they are already mature. I never keep a mother more than a year and a half as they will start to develop problems and suseptabilities around the two year mark, anuals get confused when their life span is extended too much as they are programed to die every year.
@marcus9x9 Sometimes, other times, I'll let them go four months. I prefer very mature plants for flowering. The resin production is better that way. I'm talking from seed though, clones are usually good to go as they are already considered to be as old as the mother plant.
I can promise you that's not true, and I can put any of my flower to comparison, I have tested over 34% total cannabinoids and up to 7% terps. I usually never veg that long mostly 4 to 5 weeks max.
Same. I flower In 2 4x4 gorilla tents I like 6 3 gallons per 4x4 . By time they clones rooted and vegged 3 weeks I flip and the 3 week strech fills the canopy.
@@PNWHerb sorry about that! 36-40 days from germination my plants tend to be about 18-20 inches high and 12-15 inches in diameter. Within the three weeks of flower they usually fill all available space with two plants in a 2 x 4. There is some variation between cultivars
I veg 6 plants in 10 gallon fabric pots using coco coir for 12 weeks in a 5x5 that I also flower in under an 800w LED. Train to keep them low, even and bushy. I usually have a 5-6 month grow cycle, so two grows per year and generally 2.5-3.5lbs per harvest dry weight. I run clones of two glookies and gorilla zkittlez mothers that I bred out and pheno selected.
I've had 4 plants in 3 gal pots in my 4x4 x 6 hi tent and right now, I have 2 plants that FILL my tent in 3 gal and look like a SOG! (too long in veg trying dif. LST) I may regret this goofing around, and spent 2 weeks screwing with the lights trying to get the schedule right on 12's so they didn't go to flower when I wanted them to (they are going now finally) so it will be interesting. This grow has been in veg now for 9 weeks.
My brother and I have been keeping a blue dream cutting going that can fill half a 5x5 on stretch. It’s crazy. Then I have a personal fav that short and stout.
A longer veg typically gives you a bigger yield. 8 week veg typically gives me 3-4oz per plant in my 5x5 depending on what strain I grow, I grew blue dream and got 4oz off of it per plant dried, ended with 20oz
I'm growing 2 cindys in a 5 x5 . They been in veg for twelve weeks,and i have every square of the first net full. Im ready to install the second net ,and flower these girls. Should be epic.
I'm trying for 50% of my square footage to be full before flipping to flower. If I'm doing full scrog it may be a lot longer. There are so many variables but the 50% canopy so for me in a 2x4 I would have to have a 2x2 area of canopy before flipping to flower. But again so many variables. In the end it's trial and error. Not two people grow exactly the same way
Im a beginner and I need help with my plants out of 11 of them I got 8 they on veggie stage seems like they ain’t growing I top them maybe to early ? And I got 3 photoperiods and 4 auto flowers I give them all them same nutrients and light
I have two autos growing with one photo. They all been planted at the same time and now I’m in flower stage with the autos and of course my photo just waiting on me to switch the light, my question is will it affect my autos switching it to 12 hours now to get my photo flowering or should I just wait to harvest the autos? Gladly appreciate any advice!
I do lights off for 72 hrs.befor i flip to flower.plants start flowering 5 or 6 days.wife and i combined can grow 12 plants gotta 10'x23'roon decked out so we grow big plants 4 to 6 oz.bud per plant.prefer cloning to useing seeds.
Question, with some info first: I've got a plant going, from a random seed bag. Obviously turned out photo and not auto, so it's stuck in the closet chilling by itself under a light until my autos are done. The plant has been mainlined. My question it this: since it was mainlined and topped to make even cola sites, should I keep trimming the nodes back or do I want to just let the nodes stack while waiting for the tent to open? Side question: should I take clones from it or just flip the whole plant when time comes? I'm new to growing and my setup was designed for autos, how difficult of a game did I step into here?
8 -9 weeks if I got one plant 4 weeks for tent full of plants I usually run indoor during winter one from seed take clones at week 7 flower it then put clones in flower tent and flower them off
About to try the grow dots first time but I have a question? Should I refresh my soil like adding earthworm castings, microbes ect..? Or will the "Recharge" handle that part. I was using " Gaia greens" best that I have used so far hands down but running Dots next seems a lot more simple
How are you going to have crop cycle if you only veg for three weeks to a month it's my understanding that's plants need to be at least three months old to properly clone. I've gotten lucky a few times but usually they don't take or are not good clones if the plant hasn't started to create the proper hormones to make babies
Question. If you run a perpetual grow using 2 tents (2x3 veg) and (5x5 flower). Take cuttings for the next grow just at the flip. The flower period is 8-10 weeks plus up to 2 weeks drying time using the flower tent (the 3x4 is too small). How can you veg for less than 10-12 weeks? They are rooted within one week. This is my issue. I would love to flip earlier.
Trying something new, instead of the usual 4 week veg, I am trying 1 photo with 3 autos. Will be topping the photo, with some LST too rope in growth. Mephisto GWK autos, and a Double Chocolate photo
I change the length of veg depending on which strain I'm growing, currently I am growing a white lavender hybrid I cooked up 5-6 years ago, I try for 12-18 inches in height for my flip over to flower, some take longer, but, heck, I'm worth it.
I have a photo by mistake, only wanted to run autos..... i dont want to disrupt my autos on 18-6 but this photo has been in veg 3-4 months. This run of autos should be done by xmas, should i persevere with the photo and flip it when autos are finished..... or should i cut my losses and go again with autos? The zzitles photo, looks healthy, thus far?
My last grow 5 x 5 7 foot tall tent I didn’t start the 1212 till after 10 weeks. this time gonna wait a little longer probably three months maybe for before I do the 1212
Im in nine weeks of veg right now which is my average veg time minimum 10 weeks maximum. It all depends on size if I think they are behind in size I let them veg longer. Because at 9 weeks of veg my plants are just now hitting that groove of filling out and getting some size on. I keep all my plants bushy and squat. They thicken up in flower real fast. Average grow from seed to harvest 130 days give or take a few. 12 to 15 days dry time. No hurries no worries.
Once she shows her pistils that's her telling you that she's ready mature enough to go into flower 🌱 & using things like "airpots" (used for a superior root systems) can help speed up veg stages 🌱 ... I tend to grow a indoor monster , my last one I vegged for around 10 weeks, 9 litre plastic airpot,Coco ( no pgrs added 🤮) & a 750w max double ended bulb light & she dropped 36oz (over 2 weeks dry) 🌱
Hey scotty man. All the best from ireland. Im screwed bri hv stage 4 brain mets . Im doing well tho bro. Twi years in. 7 tumors killed un my brain. Big seizure last week tho and i have two small girls. Ireland is lame man. Interesting content. Mucb love
Yea bro! I'm doing a perpetual auto grow this round with 6 and 6. Just got the beans popped and running my 100% organic soil in 5 gallon fabric pots. Veg tent is a 2x4 and flower tent is going to be my 4x4. Fingers crossed man, last couple harvest have been amazing so I hope to get to harvest every 45 / 50 days with the same quality.
Not really unless you were comparing 4week old seeds going into flower vs 15 week veg'd plants. From clone, None whatsoever. It could improve the average quality, because if done right you wont get lame popcorn buds and instead of the top being overripe and the bottom not yet ready, the plant can peak all over at the same time.
So im currently useing the extended veg grow dots, currently week 4, could i flip week 6 vs waiting till week 10, would the growdots support the early flip, 10 weeks are going to make these plants entirely to big
So how does everyone count this ,I count 4 weeks seedling, 4 weeks veg, and 8 weeks flower. But all that could vary depending on what is going on in the next tent.
you ever veg your plant at 24/7 for 4 weeks then . then no light for 1.5 days then put them to 12 hr . flower.. that was for a 8X8 room with 35 plant in 8 inch pots

Let us know please 🙏 😊
WOW! Would love to see it, wish they would let us post pictures here. Obviously you're using an auto watering system, or having someone water for you.

Love the passion in your voice Scotty, when you explain the plants come from Alaska to Africa!! That's the key, true love for the ladies.😊
Vegging for too long can lead to having lots of fongi or even root rotting , small plants are easier to manage move around and the trimming part is usually easier too.
Fungi? that would be a good thing. Dr. Elaine Ingham say you should have a high F/B ratio. More like a forest

Interesting perspective , if you say train you're plants it's not difficult to keep any strain low and under control.
When mine are about to go into flower I like to take yarn and pull everything apart to hold everything down then it’s more bush like. I’ve done this with 12 foot trees. It also helps with airflow and light penetration
veg up to 2 months, 1 month minimum, topped once in a perpetual great video!

@@jerelllawrence1986 As much as I can be. At times I use cal/mag and a silica supplement that might be synthetic/salt based.

I’ve got a small perpetual thing going so two months usually, 1-2 weeks before I put them in the flower tent I’ll take some cuts or pop some seeds
Great content. I'm going through and watching a lot of stuff. I love it. You gotta get a camera mount that isn't attached to the table. It's like a found footage/shaky cam sometimes. haha.
I have been vegging for about 8 weeks, but I am going to try a sea of green next round to see what it is like. I use a 5 x 5 tent now, for the last round before that a 2 x 4 closet. In the closet I almost had to use 8 weeks.
I veg for about 2to3 weeks.... sea of green leads to mold and mildew... if your living in a humid climate i don't recommend it. Also another thing i want to say is when growing outdoors make sure you check to see if there designed to be grown indoors or outdoors.... some of the indoor strains don't flower before its too late in the fall
yeah getting seeds that were grown outdoors and seeded outdoors is another huge thing i would add. if your growing outside. So many breeders seed indoors.
4x4 tent, 4 sativas that stretch 3x, i like an 8-10 week veg (lots of training) in 7 gal fabric. TONS of roots. use a net up high to keep the branches from bending over. ive discovered that the marshydro fce4800 can only do a maximum of 20 O's without CO2. thats something that nobody mentions= the maximum light potential. ive tried 5 plants, and 1 plant in a 4 gal square bucket veg'd to the walls, and everytime is the same 20 O's. same with a smaller cabinet. which is a mars ts1000, max is 8 O's. doesnt matter if multiple 1 gals or 2- 7 gals, always 8 O's in the 6sqft cab. ALSO - my rule of thumb is same number of weeks as there is gallons of soil. 7 gal pot = about 7 week veg. you dont want to under utilize the amount of soil. just like your light draw at the wall should equal the sqft of the space converted to grams. so- 16 sqft to grams 448w. roughly. and good starting point is total gals soil = sqft of space. 16sqft tent divided by 4 pots is 4gals each, then those would want about a 4 week veg. but if you plan to veg longer, just increase pot size. sorry for the long winded reply, i enjoy watching/listening to many grow channels and have yet to hear anyone mention this easy formula for beginners. thank you for the awesome content.
Thanks for the info. Wondering if you tried autos. Assuming a 4 week veg for an auto is a 4 gallon pot ideal? I've tried 3 and want to try 5 gal next.
i havent purposefully purchased auto seeds. however, i did come across 2 seeds in a 5 pack of fem photos that started flowering when i transplanted out of the solo cup under 18/6. I add nutes to soil and if I had known they were auto, i would have mixed different ratios (for the short veg. they turned out super leafy and airy due to too much nitrogen in flower). they were in my usual 7 gal fabrics and got 4 O's each. BUT... that was in the wood cabinet that maxes at 8 anyway. the 7 gals i thought were too big. by the end of flower the soil wasnt drying fast enough (seemed like the plants just stopped taking up water) and i was worried about mold. from what ive heard from everyone else: 5 gals is the right size for autos if you have some experience already. @@justinholtgrave
I'm new to growing so forgive any ignorance here.... But what do you mean by O's? Said it's got a max of 20 O's and you said another time 8 O's.
Is this something I should know and need to know?
i would say the weight is more Strain dependent then light dependent. Also all your info is meaningless as you fail to mention from seed or clone. So any time mentioned means nothing.
@@PNWHerb I've harvested the same results from both seed and clone. As I will allow the space to be full before flowering.
Question for you...are grow dots organic? Been loving the recharge really contemplating switching to grow dots!
Scotty you are the man! Thanks for the real information brother 🫡💪
Hey from Australia can't wait till you'r products become more available people are charging 200 AUD for the small bag
My indoor grows i usually veg for 2-3 months , mainline is must for me cause of the 2x4 tent but i yield alot , this summer however im getting a larger tent so i can start growing 3 months before moving them outside which ill end up having giant trees for my outdoor grow season lol
I'm new 🙂
What is considered Day 1 of Veg ? 3,4,5 nodes ? Or the day it pops out of the soil ?
the day it pops out the soil is day one.
I've vegged a Cotton Candy Kush for as long as 6 months, but the thing was a tree by the end and smelled like a candy shop. Had a 3 inch mainstem
Only 3 inches. . In have this grow light I got from Amazon. I grew auto flowers in it and they had very tall bushy side stalks and a crazy main cola. I’m growing a photo and it’s doing the same. My photo has over 12 tops with out topping and they are all almost as tall as the main bud cola site.
@@LetsGetitTv2 lol...
I have a question, great info btw, so my question is…… I’m have a plant growing out side, does this mean that I’ll just have to leave it to do its own thing? Or will it just go into flower its self? It’s an auto cookies Kush. Hope some one can help. Thanks 🙏
I usually count on the plant doubling in size the first 3 weeks in flower 😊
Depends if im hand watering in an R&D tent or running an automated Drip system. Comes down how im set-up, clone or seed, a # of things like you said. My ideal set up is 1-2gal and crop steering so 1-3 weeks from clone turn and burn.
I'm currently having my plants grow by my window facing south. They're in week 9, I'm wondering if it's in the last week of veg? I live in Illinois. Would like to hear back from you Scott!
You Rock Scott.
Just water only too easy. I guess that would free up time so I could micro manage something else 😅
I had monster cropped clones given to me and it took 4 weeks to re vedge and there 6 weeks into good vedge now. There Blueberry Jiu-jitsu so it's going to be so worth it
Good show...thanks for the informaion
Depends on how many plants, how much space you’ve got. Bout to hunt a couple packs in a 5x5 gonna give em maybe 2 weeks 18/6 since I know both parents stretch pretty hard. Besides I’m almost out of my last harvest 😅 so less veg time = weed sooner
I veg for three months from seed, so I have nice mature plants that will maximize resin production. Unfortunately, when you flower under 60-65 days for an indica or less than 70'75 for a sativa, your resin production will take a hit. Fron colonel I flower at the height and age I choose as the colonel are considered to be the same age as the mother so they are already mature. I never keep a mother more than a year and a half as they will start to develop problems and suseptabilities around the two year mark, anuals get confused when their life span is extended too much as they are programed to die every year.
front colonel? From colone
clone, good lord, why can't I spit that out this morning, I'm off to spelling school, good day.
The 3 months vege you do. Does it include seedling time?
@marcus9x9 Sometimes, other times, I'll let them go four months. I prefer very mature plants for flowering. The resin production is better that way. I'm talking from seed though, clones are usually good to go as they are already considered to be as old as the mother plant.
I can promise you that's not true, and I can put any of my flower to comparison, I have tested over 34% total cannabinoids and up to 7% terps. I usually never veg that long mostly 4 to 5 weeks max.
Typically i veg 8wks, but i recently veged 1 od my plants for 6weeks, and it out grew the 8wk veg plants in yeiled, etc
Veg according to the area available. I grow in 2 x 4s so it seems to work out to be about a 36 day veg until flip to fill space during flower
Same. I flower In 2 4x4 gorilla tents
I like 6 3 gallons per 4x4 . By time they clones rooted and vegged 3 weeks I flip and the 3 week strech fills the canopy.
36 days from seed wow. o wait you failed to mention if from seeds or clone so we just have to guess.
@@PNWHerb sorry about that! 36-40 days from germination my plants tend to be about 18-20 inches high and 12-15 inches in diameter. Within the three weeks of flower they usually fill all available space with two plants in a 2 x 4. There is some variation between cultivars
I veg 6 plants in 10 gallon fabric pots using coco coir for 12 weeks in a 5x5 that I also flower in under an 800w LED. Train to keep them low, even and bushy. I usually have a 5-6 month grow cycle, so two grows per year and generally 2.5-3.5lbs per harvest dry weight.
I run clones of two glookies and gorilla zkittlez mothers that I bred out and pheno selected.
I've had 4 plants in 3 gal pots in my 4x4 x 6 hi tent and right now, I have 2 plants that FILL my tent in 3 gal and look like a SOG! (too long in veg trying dif. LST) I may regret this goofing around, and spent 2 weeks screwing with the lights trying to get the schedule right on 12's so they didn't go to flower when I wanted them to (they are going now finally) so it will be interesting. This grow has been in veg now for 9 weeks.
This video helped me out a lot. Now I have a better idea on how to utilize my setup.
New sub! Love the show bro!!😎👊🏾🌱
My brother and I have been keeping a blue dream cutting going that can fill half a 5x5 on stretch. It’s crazy. Then I have a personal fav that short and stout.
When you flip to flower do you have to keep the lights at 12 12?
yes or 11 on - 13 off
I do screen of green. Typically veg for 1 month. Starting the screen as early as 2 weeks. I’m in a small tent and do 2 plants.
means nothing if you dont say from seed or clone.
i have a question, is there a difference in the flowers quality ? between 4 weeks veg and 8 to 10 weeks of veg.
A longer veg typically gives you a bigger yield. 8 week veg typically gives me 3-4oz per plant in my 5x5 depending on what strain I grow, I grew blue dream and got 4oz off of it per plant dried, ended with 20oz
i would say this also depends if from seed or Clone. from clone No difference. from seed maybe if the plant isnt sexually mature.
I'm growing 2 cindys in a 5 x5 . They been in veg for twelve weeks,and i have every square of the first net full. Im ready to install the second net ,and flower these girls. Should be epic.
I try for 8 weeks but if it's showing a deficiency or toxicity i'll hold off on flower till i get it straightened out so could be ten weeks
I'm trying for 50% of my square footage to be full before flipping to flower.
If I'm doing full scrog it may be a lot longer.
There are so many variables but the 50% canopy so for me in a 2x4 I would have to have a 2x2 area of canopy before flipping to flower.
But again so many variables.
In the end it's trial and error. Not two people grow exactly the same way
I wonder how tall the granddaddy purple stretches during flower, my tent is a 4x4x6.5, how long should I veg before flipping to flower?
Im a beginner and I need help with my plants out of 11 of them I got 8 they on veggie stage seems like they ain’t growing I top them maybe to early ? And I got 3 photoperiods and 4 auto flowers I give them all them same nutrients and light
I have two autos growing with one photo. They all been planted at the same time and now I’m in flower stage with the autos and of course my photo just waiting on me to switch the light, my question is will it affect my autos switching it to 12 hours now to get my photo flowering or should I just wait to harvest the autos? Gladly appreciate any advice!
Veg for 2 weeks after rooting than 6-12 weeks bloom depending on strain
I do lights off for 72 hrs.befor i flip to flower.plants start flowering 5 or 6 days.wife and i combined can grow 12 plants gotta 10'x23'roon decked out so we grow big plants 4 to 6 oz.bud per plant.prefer cloning to useing seeds.
Never tried lights off before flower. Is it worth it?
Question, with some info first:
I've got a plant going, from a random seed bag. Obviously turned out photo and not auto, so it's stuck in the closet chilling by itself under a light until my autos are done.
The plant has been mainlined. My question it this: since it was mainlined and topped to make even cola sites, should I keep trimming the nodes back or do I want to just let the nodes stack while waiting for the tent to open?
Side question: should I take clones from it or just flip the whole plant when time comes?
I'm new to growing and my setup was designed for autos, how difficult of a game did I step into here?
Am glad to hear this cuz I swapped a couple to flowering at 3 weeks in and wondered if I made the right choice. I am also in 2x4
8 -9 weeks if I got one plant 4 weeks for tent full of plants I usually run indoor during winter one from seed take clones at week 7 flower it then put clones in flower tent and flower them off
Since I clone mine I have to wait until I have enough branching before I can flip the photo period, usually five to six weeks.
About to try the grow dots first time but I have a question? Should I refresh my soil like adding earthworm castings, microbes ect..? Or will the "Recharge" handle that part. I was using " Gaia greens" best that I have used so far hands down but running Dots next seems a lot more simple
Scotty, I grow outside typically from June 1 to harvest. Long veg cycle.
How are you going to have crop cycle if you only veg for three weeks to a month it's my understanding that's plants need to be at least three months old to properly clone. I've gotten lucky a few times but usually they don't take or are not good clones if the plant hasn't started to create the proper hormones to make babies
Question. If you run a perpetual grow using 2 tents (2x3 veg) and (5x5 flower). Take cuttings for the next grow just at the flip. The flower period is 8-10 weeks plus up to 2 weeks drying time using the flower tent (the 3x4 is too small). How can you veg for less than 10-12 weeks? They are rooted within one week. This is my issue. I would love to flip earlier.
you can flip as soon as you have roots on the clones.
Great information. Thanks for the content.
I have 6 3 gallon pots in a 2x4 I just passed a month in veg I think I’ll let them go for another week or so then flip
Depends on available space and what medium you are using. Benifit s to both. Personally, I like growing big girls.
which grow dots version would be suitable to a 13 week cycle.? photos..? 5 weeks veg and 8 weeks flowering.
Trying something new, instead of the usual 4 week veg, I am trying 1 photo with 3 autos. Will be topping the photo, with some LST too rope in growth.
Mephisto GWK autos, and a Double Chocolate photo
Keep small moms and cut clones! I grow tons of long flowering sativas in 5' space. You can get them at any size with some work
Hey Scottie . Does Recharge have to be PH’d before using
I change the length of veg depending on which strain I'm growing, currently I am growing a white lavender hybrid I cooked up 5-6 years ago, I try for 12-18 inches in height for my flip over to flower, some take longer, but, heck, I'm worth it.
i go by height not weeks ...so i flip when plants get to 16 to 2 ft tall...i have 8*4*6-1/2...i try to get the most out of my tent
I have a photo by mistake, only wanted to run autos..... i dont want to disrupt my autos on 18-6 but this photo has been in veg 3-4 months. This run of autos should be done by xmas, should i persevere with the photo and flip it when autos are finished..... or should i cut my losses and go again with autos? The zzitles photo, looks healthy, thus far?
My last grow 5 x 5 7 foot tall tent I didn’t start the 1212 till after 10 weeks. this time gonna wait a little longer probably three months maybe for before I do the 1212
Veg varies from seed or clone, no?
Im in nine weeks of veg right now which is my average veg time minimum 10 weeks maximum. It all depends on size if I think they are behind in size I let them veg longer. Because at 9 weeks of veg my plants are just now hitting that groove of filling out and getting some size on. I keep all my plants bushy and squat. They thicken up in flower real fast. Average grow from seed to harvest 130 days give or take a few. 12 to 15 days dry time. No hurries no worries.
Once she shows her pistils that's her telling you that she's ready mature enough to go into flower 🌱 & using things like "airpots" (used for a superior root systems) can help speed up veg stages 🌱
... I tend to grow a indoor monster , my last one I vegged for around 10 weeks, 9 litre plastic airpot,Coco ( no pgrs added 🤮) & a 750w max double ended bulb light & she dropped 36oz (over 2 weeks dry) 🌱
I need your help with my setup. Can I asks you a question?
@@eaglehigh-h3e if that's aimed towards myself? Then sure thing ask away 🌱👍👍🌎
Just one tip, fix the stanelizer idk if you already did if you fixed it my bad
mine isn't really time based, more size and shape, top out and get some some spread then flip...
Hey scotty I veg for 8-9 wks in my 4x8 tent. I grow about 4ft tall bushes
@-ScottyReal420 you're fake
this means nothing if you dont mention from seed or clone.
I veg for 4 weeks then flip.. seems to be working well for me on a NFT system
Hey scotty man. All the best from ireland. Im screwed bri hv stage 4 brain mets . Im doing well tho bro. Twi years in. 7 tumors killed un my brain. Big seizure last week tho and i have two small girls. Ireland is lame man. Interesting content. Mucb love
If im hunting phenos i veg 4-6 weeks, if im growing something i like i let them go until i fill the tent could be 2 months veg
Yea bro! I'm doing a perpetual auto grow this round with 6 and 6. Just got the beans popped and running my 100% organic soil in 5 gallon fabric pots. Veg tent is a 2x4 and flower tent is going to be my 4x4. Fingers crossed man, last couple harvest have been amazing so I hope to get to harvest every 45 / 50 days with the same quality.
scotty does sea of green effect quality looking at a 4x4 with prob 12-16 plants compared to 2 - 4 bigger plants
Not really unless you were comparing 4week old seeds going into flower vs 15 week veg'd plants. From clone, None whatsoever. It could improve the average quality, because if done right you wont get lame popcorn buds and instead of the top being overripe and the bottom not yet ready, the plant can peak all over at the same time.
So im currently useing the extended veg grow dots, currently week 4, could i flip week 6 vs waiting till week 10, would the growdots support the early flip, 10 weeks are going to make these plants entirely to big
Love these videos help me daily !!
Salute on the smart move to start your own podcast.
So how does everyone count this ,I count 4 weeks seedling, 4 weeks veg, and 8 weeks flower. But all that could vary depending on what is going on in the next tent.
you ever veg your plant at 24/7 for 4 weeks then . then no light for 1.5 days then put them to 12 hr . flower.. that was for a 8X8 room with 35 plant in 8 inch pots
Do you have full grows with grow dots?? I usually do 8wks of veg
