On average, I'd say veg typically lasts 6-8 weeks. You can go longer for larger plants, or shorter for smaller plants. Also if you are doing any training/bending that could add some additional time. She's looking beautiful so far, well done! 👍
How many inch should cfl lights b away from plant loads of growth 6 weeks veg starting to see buds alover very nice plant to work with and she changed into 3 gallon last week or 2 looks good stilll growing any special advice for this stage thanks you
Hey happytimes!
With CFL's in your situation I would start to tie her down and put that CFL right ontop of her to get the best lighting situation on the most budsites.
The only worry you have with CFLs is the heat - if its to hot for your hand its to hot for the plant. Remember - as close as you can get it without burning it. I have seen this be touching on some CFLs
Critical, Lowryder, Green Crack, White Widow, Northern Lights ...are supposed to be some of the most mold-resistant strains on the market, but no one can ensure this predication, experience is the key! Happy growing 👊
Hello ! Well due to the ruderalis genes Autoflowering strains are supposed to be more resistant to disease than photoperiodic strains. But it depends on what you call disease as a mold resistant strain can be a bug friendly tree and vice versa. To me the cheese family is pretty resistant to mold and bugs like the Super cheese express from positions but many others breeder have their own variations. I hope it will help you 😁✌️🏼
Hi @Happytimes! Well, the longer the better, more veg means more yield, especially if you have a plan in mind, like Scrog or Mainlining. Those approaches take several weeks of veg but patience is rewarded with big yields. Usually growers determine the veg time by thinking of their available height: you can keep the plant in veg stage until half of the total height is filled (40%~60% depending on the strain, check your breeder's recommendations about the stretch). This way, your plant won't exceed the available height and you'll use 100% of your room's capacity. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊
Hi @Happytimes! I've been using a 200W CFL for a while and noticed this: you can indeed put the lamp right above the canopy, even as close as 2 inches / 5 cm, BUT it's all about the airflow. Concretely 2 inches won't burn your buds if the plant's summits does receive a slight continuous fresh breeze. Otherwise, if the air is static, a 2 inches plant<-->lamp distance will burn the apical summits. In other words, every setup is different, due to different bulbs / different fans / different environment temps. The best thing is to try by yourself, during a two days period where you can watch your plants every hour or so (weekend?): start by putting the CFL at 10 inches, check the heat with your hand and give the plant 3-4 hours to react. If she's showing curling-upward leaves or other heat-stress signs, increase the distance. If she's praying the light and don't seem to bother about the distance, decrease the distance a bit and give her another couple of hours to adapt & react. Doing this step by step, you should be able to determine the best plant<--->lamp distance for your setup/environment. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

hey happytimes, for CFL it's actually up to the heat - you don t want it to cook your bud, but you want it as close as possible : between 10 to 20 cm if you can. Hope this helps ! 🚀
