What is the average vegging and budding time for white widow and strawberry cough? Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Veg time is however big you want to veg them. Any plant from seed should be vegged at least 4 weeks to get mature before flowering. At 4-6 weeks, it's still not going to be fully mature, and will stretch more and take longer to finish flowering than older more mature clones (in my experience). White widow strains are usually 9 weeks flowering, but from seed plants could easily be 10-11 weeks before it's completely finished. After it gets older (through cloning) it might finish is less than 9 weeks (that's my experienc with a couple of ww dominant crosses). I don't know anything about strawberry cough, except that it's supposed to a Dutch strain and supposedly a very good quality.
you can flip at 12 inches, but keep in mind, the shorter the veg, the lower the yield, but the quicker the yield. Do you want a big yield or a quick yield?
Technically they dont go by height or days...you can flower a plant thats 1 day after roots as long as you know the sex. Now someone using a hid over a cfl will see sex faster. I see it in 5 nodes and thats less than 6 inchs. The same 5 nodes could be a 2 foot tall beanstalk but generally by the 5th node you can spot hairs or balls
If plants are healthy, happy, and free of stress, they don't show sex during veg growth. I propagate genotypes/phenotypes for months/years without them ever showing sex during veg. Most young people now adays are being told to use 1200 PPM nutrients by morons who think they know how to grow. Most young people now adays are stubborn and misinformed/uninformed, and they all want instant gradification and try to push their plants to produce. They grow stressed unhealthy plants and that's why they show sex in veg stage.
I want a good yield but I want it done a little quicker, i was thinking about switching em over next week
That first line is amazing. ...so by your words.....i have never had a healthy, happy plant.......im shocked and really need to change my business plan and grow techniques to yours. Lmao
No, not by my words. If the shoe fits... If you have vegging plants (that are't revegged or auto flowering strains) that are showing pistils (especially plants from seed). They might very well be 'heathy' and 'happy', but they have not been free of stress. It doesn't take a lot of stress to make mature female plants from clones (or outdoor plants that have vegged all spring/summer) start sprouting some pistils in veg, and stress is accumulative. It takes a significant amount of stress to make seed plants less than 90 days old (unless they are auto flowering, or have been re-vegged) sprout pistils. I know for a fact that a genotype/phenotype can be probagated for months/years without ever showing pistils in veg, because I do it on regular basis. You can scoff all you want. You haven't demonstrated that you can even keep a plant healthy until it's finished flowering. You brag about small fert fried buds like you're some sort of growing guru that gets .9 g/watt (according to you).
If not your words.....then whos?.....i know bro....shit weed for years....dispensaries must be run by monkeys. Actually it was 470g of good and 611g of crap....guess i lied to ya.....sorry Keep it healthy....lmao....for how long? Decades? Are we talking dog years? Its a weed....a product....a med
