Hi does anyone know if you can over veg a plant?
Ive got a flowering room and a veg room. Obviously it takes twices as long to flower a plant as it does to veg a plant therefore ive ended up with too many plants that are ready for flowering but the flowering room is full. I cant use the veg room to flower beceuase of the heat from 600 watt lights.

Can i just leave them in veg state for as long as i want?
Is this good or bad for the plants?
Thank you

Yes you can leave them in Veg for as long as you like, this is what people do with 'mother' plants - clones are then taken from the 'mother' plants and placed in the flowering room - alot quicker than growing fresh from seed each time. Keeping a plant in veg state will not harm it in any way - the larger it is (i.e. the longer its been in veg mode) the larger the yeild should be!

Ive got 2 250 watt lights in my veg room. Do you think it would be possible to flower them? Also i am very restricted of height(in both rooms). Do you have any tips on keeping them down?

you can pretty much manipulate the plant to grow anyway you like. bush, tree, vine, any shape of form really. you can tie branches down. what i do is drill holes in the base of the pot and tie fishing string. lot of people just use fishing strong to hold the branches down but for me the string is too thin and sometimes cuts into the stem. so i use bent paperclips attached to the string. your branches will always grow up towards the light. just keep them tied down as your plant grows. also in flower plants will 'stretch' a lot. my first time i almost ran out of room. personally i would research on this website the LST(low stress training) technique. great if you have height problems and it can even greatly increase your yield. i lst all my plants now after seeing such great results. when in veg you can also top or FIM your plants. also lots of info here on that. GL!

if the mom hermied then it was because of the growing conditions. i know several growers that have the same moms for 5 years or more some as long as 10 years.


Sam google Low Stress Training you should get good results. topping is when you cut off the growth tip of the plant to redirect hormones into the side branches and create a bushier plant.

Also how do you "top" a plant?

https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/200413-fimming-m-blaze-complete-how.html its under advanced marijuana cultivation

topping is basically cutting the top of the plant. instead of having 1 main cola, those 2 side branches take over and you will now have 2 main colas. when they get bigger repeat and you can turn those 2 into 4 and so on... fimming is pretty much the same but you cut a bit higher than normal so you dont entirely remove the top growth. with fimming you can get more than 2 main branches from just 1 cut.

I went from soil to the bubble stones in the bottom of a 30 gal tote with 11 web pots (I used 11 pots because this is bag weed seeds and not all will be fem but I am hoping for at least 6), and I'm using pea gravel for my medium, and OMG...the difference is STUNNING...I pushed the seeds into the pea gravel on June 16, and today they are 12 days old and over 5"...I have been pinching the stems (LST) to push nutrients to the stem area and if I let these veg for over 5 weeks I will not have room, I will utilize all of the LST techniques including topping (especially if I can top a female or two and get a clone to keep in veg). I have pictures and as soon as I find my freakin cord I will upload them. My room is VERY small ((30"X48") and 48" tall)) and my lights total over 800 watts (with a mixture of what I had on hand which was CFL's and LED's)...seriously, is this how fast these grow in a DWC
