How much Veg time for 1lb plants?

and save electric

and if your vegging in a small area with smaller pots to get those big plants once you transplant you will have to veg for a while. I guess if you are worried about plant numbers thats the only way it makes sense

true, thats what i used to do too. ok then more room to flower so u can flower your veg room, thats two crops for 1

The same ratio of veg to bloom still holds, at least here.

Or, run hydro.

but running hydro you still have to have light for veg. Seems like vegging for 2 months would eat into profit. Please explain. Cause sometimes I'm wrong and want to see the truth or another way of doing something

What percentage of floor space and wattage does your veg take up now? Mine takes up 25% of the space and 10% of the wattage or less.

fuk that. why not just skip ve and do sog

I just ran a Aero SOG actuially.
Just moved to a new house and want to do SCROG instead.
Having that many plants having to tend to i did not like.

Lighting where I live is 10.5c a KWH. Electricity is not a concern at all.

well usually I veg under t5's in one gallon pots so it wouldnt tak up too much space. but when I transplant into bigger pots it would take up 75 percent. Not sure how it could be any other way? unless you are flowering in smaller pots?

Ill be using the same room.
My main point is that extending my veg time should increase yeild much more than we all think as check out the thread I linked.

I'm doing 90 plants in 2 gallon pots on my next run. 1 week veg. flowering under 6,000 watts hps. I have a eletric pump so i just mix up all my nutes then run the wand up and down the rows. fast and easy

Running a two week perpetual means you put plants in and take some out every two weeks. It also means your veg only has to deliver 1/4 the canopy to bloom each time.

 

[Trippyness]

Seems you are missing the point.
Not concerned about electricity at all.

Mainly wanting to know how 60 days vs 30 for veg will increase my yeild per plant.
Would prefer less harvests.

I will be LST then as well as SCROG with a trellis. Thanks mate.

 

[MrStickyScissors]

Yep correct.
Good method if you have the space
