lol I can tell you really love this plant, by the way you take a pic of it on your belly. Let's hope it's a fem.
To answer your question looks to me like you have about 5 nodes. It has hit veg that's for sure. You can veg as long as you'd like. You can flower now, you'd just have a small yield. It's really up to you on how long you'd like to veg. It looks like you have good lighting, and it looks very nice. As long as you keep it up, you could veg for awhile. Try to maximize your space and lighting. I don't have any details on your setup. So just keep going man : )

Yeah, had a nute burn problem a little over a week ago, but flushed it out and it seemed to rebound nicely. my grow setup isnt anything to crazy, 5 6500k cfls, 1 2700k and a 15w flouro tube, fan and made a ghetto co2 from yeast and sugar. i started w mg soil and gave it trace amounts of 20-20-20 (hence the nute burn). Turns out the soil i was using could feed a plant for 3 months...oops. since then i switched to mg organic soil (much less nutes) and havent given it any nutes since. Im staying extra cautious w nutes because i know the soil has a wee bit and perilite has a tiny bit of nutes. im not gonna add any nutes on my next watering unless i see any tell tail signs of deficiency. aslong as you think its safe for me to wait, that is what ill do, being that i only have one plant, ill take the risk and hope for the best, dont have much to lose. i will update with pics in the near future, and yeah, she (hopefully) is my pride and joy

I started seedlings about 3 weeks ago. I started half in MG *Organic, and the other half in Scotts potting soil. The MG *Organic, is kicking the sh*t out of the Scotts. All the MG seedlings are growing like real weeds lol. I love that soil. There is no need for any nutes for me in the MG. It's just fine for now, and I'm on week three.

Hey there, couple questions for you. First of all, do you intend to transplant your plant again? If not you should flower relatively soon because the plant does most of it's growth during flower (assuming you haven't recently transplanted). Your growth looks good though, the nodes will stretch and further develop nodes, so you'll have plenty of budsites (assuming it's a she). Keeping in mind professional breeders and growers like Greenhouse Seeds only grow vegetatively for 2 weeks before flower, you need to account for stretch. My recent Haze entered flowering at roughly 11" and eventually grew to 35". I'm in the last week before harvest with that, so that gives you a basic idea for growth.
Great looking plant my friend, give it love, and you will be pleasantly surprised. Personally I name all my plants with female names to ... promote positive female energy ... or something

the one and only regret i had when i first grew was that i didnt do stuff like lst and suppercropping my plants. oh and another thing i wished i did was i flowered my plants at 5 or 6 nodes, this time im waiting. i was wishing i waited a little longer to flower. wait as long as you can. i know that you like me are dying to see some nugs growing but, you should let it veg for a while.
2 things to do, 1 flower it to see what sex it is, because if its a male you need to start over. number 2 is seriously let it veg for a while longer. i have had mine in veg for 3 months now. its like a bush. but last time i vegged after 1 month, the plant only got to 2 feet and i was not satisfied at all. then i had to wait for my next ones to grow.

im just starting flowering on these now. 2 days 12 12
i let these veg for 2 months im hoping for big fat bushes this time
the second pic was a plant that stopped growing then i transplanted and flushed twice. then transplanted again. now its starting to catch up. i think when i first started i was watering too much then when i pulled back on the watering my plants shot up like crazy. less is really more with these things i guess. i water about a half gallon to a 5 gallon bucket every three or four days

The plants look great man! They look really healthy, no major deficiencies that I can see in the pictures. Keep up the good work mate, there is always an audience

thanks! all feedback is highly appreciated. heres a pic i look earlier today. cant help but notice a decent amount of yellow leaves in the lower/inner area. The bud sites are looking nice and healthy, but i did add a 20-20-20 fert earlier today at a somewhat low concentration, next water will be during its flushing period. What can i do to make this shit bananas??
