Just curious…2 week veg?

[SavorySaucesOG]

I’m just curious if anyone on here has popped seeds and threw them into flower after just a couple weeks?
I have 13 plants right now that I don’t necessarily want.
2 Kush of some sort (2 weeks old er so)
2 Pineapple Express (2 weeks old er so)
And 9 other Pineapple Express about 4 days old.

I had planned on keeping these and growing them like normal until I got my hands on some better strains.

Anywho… is it worth it after just a couple weeks to flower them?
Any information is appreciated!
Thanks

I haven't tried it but there's a couple threads on it you can check out. This is one of the larger more recent ones. Hope it helps some.

Ok, the rules are there are no rules... kidding. Please DO NOT comment unless it's positive and only regarding 12/12 from seed (or 11/13-ish in my case). NO Opinions, NO Bashing. In other words MOVE ON u 18/6 VEGING POS %$#@'ers (haha, kidding again) ------------------------ Now on with the...

You can, and you can as soon as they sprout.. this pics of a plant put into flower right when it sprouted.. i was pushing her so her leaves are alittle dark..

You can grow them from seed on 12/12. But they will only start flowering once they achieve sexual maturity. You know a cannabis plant is mature enough to flower when they start alternating phyllotaxy.

12/12 from start to finish is fine especially if u dont have alot of room and dont want monster plants. They will start flowering on their own when they're mature enough as they've said earlier. U can save u some electricity time and space. Clones flip even faster then seed imo. Some folkes take a clone strait to 12/12 just to determine sex.

Clones are more mature than seeds. They are whatever age of development the plant was you took them from. But it's not uncommon to cut a branch put it in water and see what you have if you cloned during veg

That is interesting, I didn't know that. Thanks.

I’ve done it a few times. Works out fine, great space saver if you’re trying to have variety under one light or pheno hunting.

I've done 12/12 from seed with an autoflower, still came out bangin" & the buds were decently tight.

I have also put clones into flower after one or two weeks as well, it just results in a lower yield than when I've waited with a 4 or 6 week veg.


I personally only advise early-flipping if you're trying to bang-out as many grows as you can, as quickly as you can, with no regard for overall yield. Otherwise, patience is a virtue & it will pay off for you if you wait, even just a little bit.

I completely agree.

Because of my interests (pheno/strain hunting for pain relief genetics), I try to blow through as many tables as I can per year. I don't want a lot of pot from each plant. My problem is a surfeit! But if you're not doing some specialized niche thing you're right! Patience pays off.

I do it all the time. I make so many chucks that I want to try and don't have the space for large plants so I'll do short veg small plants. You can pull an ounce off a plant grown that way. At least enough to get a good sample.

I appreciate all of the information and personal experiences you guys.
This community is amazing!!

thank you

A few days ago.

Eta..
Check where the top plants are living, I'm surprised they're so compact.

Consider using thumbnails when you post all those full size pics.

Why?

Why?

So the page loads faster for folks with slower connections. They can click on the thumbnail if they want to see it full size

Just keep in mind some trains take a while to hit maturity. I've ran a few 12/12 that didn't pre flower for six-eight weeks, and some that took half that. I'm running a 12/12 from seed run this time round in a hope to fit two plants in each 90x50 tent as they both fit in my closet. Let's see if they flower early or hold out.


Three Nepalese landrace and a chemdog #4 (pot on the far right is chemdog). The two in the 7" pots are at day 12 and the others day 9.

That's pretty lame.

Its fine to do if you are ok with yielding an ounce or less per plant.

I usually yield 4-5 oz. per plant with only a 3 week veg...

 

[MissinThe90’sStrains]

Could you theoretically plant 50 -100 seeds in 1 gallon pots at 12/12, and just reveg the best couple plants, to speed-run a larger pheno hunt ? Is there a preferred method for something like this ?
