Quick question, how long should I veg a WW for? I'm in a 5 gallon pot, with LST for 4 nodes. Approx. 5 weeks into veg now, under 250 watt hps. I'll post the last photo, taken 3 days ago.
how long to veg?

However long you like. There is no set requirement. It's entirely up to you.

OK, I read somewhere that vegging too long may result in stressing to the point of a her ie...any truth to this?

No truth to that. You can keep a plant in veg theoretically for over a year if you have the space, which most don't. I am growing WW and vegged for 3 weeks before I switched them over to a 12/12 light cycle.

Its my understanding from what I have read is that you can keep the plant in veg all it's life if you want, I think every year it just starts its cycle over. If you want it to veg longer it should not stress the plant at all it will just make her that much more developed and provide more room for those beautiful buds to blossom on. =) g luck

Cool, is the yield dramatically increased with a longer veg phase? I.e, if I veg 12 weeks, as opposed to the recommended 8 weeks, would 1) flower phase be increased and 2) would yield increase as well? ( even if flower phase is not increased)

Oh, I forgot to mention, I've plenty of room, and just this one fem WW...I'm a patient guy, and i m not grow-for profit guy. I am strictly personal, looking to obtain a maximum yield, without sacrificing too much ( if any) potency. I hope that was useful info.

Cool, I accidently topped her off three days ago, when I last LST. Is this going to be too much stress?

Nah, the LST I'm cool with, I accidently topped her while I last LST, ya think the combo is too much? I've seen the new growth coming out near the topped sight, but part of it, and the part of the axillary branches are starting to turn black in color...kind of like a bruise on the stem of a shroom...

mine have always loved it is seems like. haha maybe its just me but it seems like it grows better that way hah probably cuz ur giving the whole plant enuff light so reachs its full potential just feed it what it needs and let nature take its course and always stay positive with what ur doing will work.

just go with ur vibes.if yuh think its gona work out and be fine just let it b and nature will correct it... people mostly mess things up worst with trying this and dat when all it needs is to just let it be and let nature fix itself and just to b safe i would wait to LST if yuh r having a problem with the top just wait for that to fix itself and then lst
