or should i veg them for a set amount of time? like 1 week or whatnot they are grown in promix drain and flood table 4 inch square pots. they take about 7-10 days to clone then they go directly into flower room i was just wondering if ... it would produce way more by letting them veg for 1-3 weeks?> i am flowering under a 150 hps.

It all depends on how much room you have and how big you want them to be. I'm sure if you let them veg. a little they will be bigger and produce more, just remember that they usually double in size from when you put them in flower when there small.

with only a 150watts i would flower straight from clone. and do no more than 4 plants, unless your lollipopping them then you might be able to do 8. also try to add some cfls for side light the 150 doesnt penitrate the canopy at all

They really need a vegetative phase of about 4-6 weeks. after cloning, with 18 hr light cycle. Flowering you nee a 12 hr light cycle.

dude im in week 4 of flower and i flowered my clones as soon as they rooted. they were 3 inches wen roots hit and now they are 17 inch tall sativa dominant, healthy and strong. yea try packin them as tight as possible. lollipopping will definitely get the most out of that 150. But i figure a 150 wont even be enough for 2 sq ft so yea without lollipopping and sum good indicas you can do up to 4 plants but anymore and i think you would wasting light. you should make a very small and short tent to use most light

I beg to differ!! I have done this many many times and know people who only veg for 2 days or 1 week after cloning !!

u should flower right away, if u think about it ur light is a little small 150 watt hps. if u let them veg a little... sure they might get bigger but u wont be able to supply enough light to them. 150 watt should be good enough for about 2 ft by 2ft space which ur plants will definitely fill up if u clone right away. dont get greedy.
quality > quantity
the amount of light ur using should determine how big to let ur plants grow.

excelent advise.. lets see if the 150 watt is about 6 inches abover teh ground it will light up about 1.5 x 1.5 if its 12 inch high it lights up 2x2 i am tryingto keep it close but eventually i will raise it . i have a few clones under it they are like 5 inches tall healthy and strong . i will post a few pics soon ! yeahi will lollipop as needed no use "growing outside the box..
