But don't you agree that technically you could flower 3-4 more plants vegging for only 3 weeks v/s 5 weeks? So in other words you'd have more main colas and shorter/smaller plants, giving more room in your grow area for more plants.

Just an idea.

i dont understand why u would try to force it to flower before it is ready. if you stress it too much, you are just begging for it to turn hermie. i personally dont think it is worth it, i could be wrong.

I am a new grower also, but you may find this thread VERY fucking useful. I know I did. https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=69713&pp=15

This guy starts flowering immediately after the clones have taken root.

Yikes, they must really enjoy that MH. Is your strain primarily indica or sativa? Do you top? And how tall are they when they are finished budding? I'm a little crammed for space, so I'm considering a SoG with budding right out of the gate since I'm tight on vertical space.
 
Thanks, very informative link. I only have experience with mh and hps though, don't know much about the cfl's. But I love how he flowers everything in 20oz bottles lol
Haha, I know... that thread is addicting, I read about 40 pages of it this morning. I'm going to be doing a similar setup, only for flowering I'll have a 120 watt LED with a few supplemental CFLs spread underneath and on the sides.

3 weeks is my typical veg - i get about 5 inches/5 nodes
plants finish under 2 1/2 feet(so far), yields from about 1 oz to 1 1/2 oz(if all goes well)
that's under 78w of cfl's, which are micro grows

I noticed you stated that you vegged for 3 weeks, could you send some pics of your crop during flower? If it's not too much trouble.

always glad to show the fruits of labor, though pic isn't the best
this was the best result i've had, 29 inches tall, and outside of grow chamber(nl#5)

Very nice! You use 5 gallon buckets? Also did you super crop that plant at some point? What was the weight of the total harvest after dried?

Sorry about all the questions

no problem, that's why we on the site, to swap info
it was big, but pics can be tough to judge size - 2 gallon pot, no training at all - got 1.5 zips, but lost a bit of bud to mold(one nice bud was black rot inside)

That's awesome, do you ever have any trouble with plants going herm on you vegging 3 weeks? Or if you've vegged at 5 weeks and went to 3 did you notice more plants herming out on you?
