Hey guys, my plants are 3 weeks old and I'm just wondering whether to veg them for another week or two weeks? They're growing at least an inch or two a day! Oh, and they are all either Northern Lights or Big Bud.

Thanks. :)

Looks like you have a bit of a nute issue going. I would correct before going into flower.
So, yes on vegging more.

Well i was in the same position as you before I started growing.

If you want something small and in the same pot well just flip to flowering now.

If you going to go bigger wait untill they are around 1 1/2 ' or 2 feet.

I've only got 5 plants going so I definitely want them to fill out the grow room, so I guess I'll have to veg them for a few weeks more!

Which plants were you referring to? If it's picture 3 it's just the HPS light making it look yellow.

Yep, I was referring to #3.
Ah... now I see what your saying. Yep, light shinning @ that angle makes it look a bit sick.;-)
I agree, with you to veg longer.
Keep us posted on your progress.:weed:

Will do! :) It's my first grow so I'll more than likely be hailing this forum with questions once the plants start flowering haha.

I'm surprised nobodies asked what size light you have them under?

Assuming you've at least a 400w, yes, I would veg for longer. 600w? Even longer:)

do you have height restrictions, or don't really care about yield? Reason for askin is because if neither, I would veg for atleast 5-6 more weeks correct whatever issues you have, top them multiple times, LST them bush them out and flower them your yield will be much higher. But you can pretty much switch them to flower anytime your ready.

I was originally using a 600w, but due to day time temperatures I had to switch it out for a 400w. :(

I'm using a 1.2m x 1.2m x 2.0m grow tent, so the plants can't exceed 1.5 meters I guess. I was actually considering vegging them out longer and topping, but I'm a little nervous I'll end up fucking up and ruin my grow. I'm aiming for the maximum yield given my time constraints. I want to be harvesting by the end of December at the latest. Summer temperatures here are insane ( > 40 Celsius on the regular ) and I really can't afford to run an A/C to keep the plants happy.

Longer veg= bigger harvest..
Just out of curiosity, what seedbank did they come from?

marijuana-seeds.nl - Their stealth shipping is amazing, which is essential for dodging Australia's customs. Kinda pricey but definitely worth it in the end.

If I were to veg them for another 2-3 weeks, would you guys advise transplanting them to 3 gallon pots before flipping them to 12/12?

1.2m x 1.2m x 2.0m Grow tent with a 400W HPS light. I have to harvest by the end of December / early January at the latest due to potential heat issues with the coming summer. Ideally I'd grow them until they'd fill out the whole tent, but I don't want to sacrifice bud quality just for a larger yield. I may throw in an additional 250w HPS without a hood in the flowering period though.
