Is 8 weeks vegging & 8 weeks flowering just wasting me own time or wat??

I was initially intending in doing 6 weeks for vegging & 6 for flowering .. I read up tho tht 8 weeks & i should expect a bigger return on the plants which does make sense, ive read else were tho tht it may nt make a noticable difference?

Flowering time is dependent on strain. 6 week veg is great. The general rule is expect the plant to double in size during flowering so keep in mind height restrictions when choosing when to flower. Typical flowering time is from 8-10 weeks but some pure sativa strains will take longer . You can't plan on flowering for six weeks you have to let them go until they r finished

like you said some say its good some say it dont matter the longer you let them veg the larger they will get and you cant plan your flowering period your girls are done when they are done

well... You can veg for however long you want. 6 wks would be minimum. If you have enough light, the bigger you grow your plants, the bigger your return will be. If your working indoors, than 8-10 weeks of vegging is probably the max. The general flowering time for plants is 8 weeks after being placed in 12/12. Another common time is 10 weeks. Some plants have up to 12 or 16 weeks. On 8 week flowering strains, usually they have all of their girth by 6 weeks, but they need that additional time on the plant to ripen and fill their crystals with THC. Once the crystals are mainly white, with a few being clear and another few being amber colored, they're ready (buy a microscope). Even if a plant is listed as an 8 weeks strain, thats sort of a general time. I just harvested 5 Aurora Indicas. They are listed as 8 week bloomers. one of them was finished at 7 weeks. two were finished at 8 weeks. two were finished at 9 weeks. None of them were ready at 6 weeks. This is all after lights are switched to 12/12, not after flowers start appearing. Flowers start appearing at 1.5-2 weeks.

Its 6 motavation, planning on getting thm into 50 litre pots eventually .. & the lighting setup is 1 600 watt hps to every 2 plants, so basically i'd imagine tht'll give each plant 300 watts wen all lights r up.
