When do you start day 1 of Veg?

Actually, I consider veg stage starting after seedling stage. When the stems thicken to point where they are not at risk to damping off is my cue but that's just an observed condition and I don't veg for a predetermined periods. I have to consider the weather since I don't have a sealed g-room in a corner of my garage. It's been hotter than shit so I'll veg under T-5's to avoid the excess heat and go HPS when it gets chilly out. Even with T-5's I have to use a small AC unit. Ugh!

There's 2 main growing stages, Vegatative and Flower. Veg is from the moment a seed breaks soil or a clone starts growing. Veg is broken up into a couple stages, seedling, or rooting for clones, for the first couple weeks , then a growth/ building stage. Flower has, at least, 3 stages, transition, growth/building(bud growth) and ripening.

Don't get caught up on counting days, its just a reference, not a hard and fast rule.

Seedling when planted lil to no nutes weak light for me abought 3 weeks

Veg from there untill flip to 12 12. During veg they require more light and veg nutes

Transition 10 days to 20 days depending on strain and if indoors or outdoors continues veg nutes adds light bloom nutes

Flower stage from there untill harvest. Strongest lights usually a spectrium change. Bloom nutes

Dry is after harvest and legnth depends on enviroment usually 5 to 10 days

Cure us from time jared untill product is finished 1 to 3 months

I'm always baffled why people count the days of veg. I just grow out the clones until they fill out the scrog and then flip. If they are not being scrogged or trained I flip based on height/bushiness and call it a day. I don't understand why some people veg for specific amount of days and then flip regardless of how the plant looks, it seems counter intuitive.

There are setups when time does become a deciding factor I guess, perpetual being one but that typically is done with clones and they are mature at time of rooting, that would be a schedule thing not a plant age thing. If I was to not add nutes until the third week (flooded root zone hydro) my plants would be starving Ethiopians :(.

Edit: this is a "strain dependant thing" lol
