Veg times SOG

sacredgeometry
sacredgeometrystarted grow question 4 years ago
What do you guys think, should I have vegged longer? I put the lights on 12/12 after vegging for almost 4 weeks. My plants are really short but pretty bushy. The shortest one is 8 inches and the tallest is 12 inches. I wanted to get an ounce off each plant but I'm not seeing it.

Hi Sacredgeometry. Your plants are looking happy and loved. With SOG (and especially early flower sog) its pretty typical (although there are exceptions) most plants don't hit an ounce dry, because the whole point is to flower earlier, and harvest quicker with more quantity of plants, which by default generally means your going to harvest less per grow but harvest more often so it all balances out. If you are doing SOG and getting an ounce or more per plant you are doing really well. The less plants you have in your SOG the more beneficial it is to do longer veg. If you don't have pistols showing yet, you could switch it back to 18-6 without too much impact, but if they already are showing pistols and have been in 12-12 for long enough, its going to take the plants longer than I would want to personally wait to get their hormones stabilized back to veg state. If they are too far in on their flowering hormones, cut clones off when these girls get bigger, and flip them back to veg for next longer 5-6 week grow cycle. It takes monster cropped clones some time to get stabilized. Generally its a good idea to wait until they are at least 12 inches tall to flip in SOG, unless you are intentionally doing 12-12 light from seed or clone which again will be very unlikely to get an ounce per plant with 12 - 12 from seed or clone. I think I would consider just letting these finish and monster cropping some clones off of them when they get a little bigger to stage for next cycle. One thing to remember is monsteer cropped clones from flower may be slightly less potent but for a home grower like me who doesn't test my harvest, I've never noticed a difference in potency.

This all depends of what do you want to do at the end... many people switch 12/12 straight after the clone root out, with that space and that number of clones, maybe veg longer would have been a better choice, with that TSL you shouldnt have any problem! Anyway they will stretch a bit as well.. If is not too late, u could switch back and give a week or two more.. Hope I helped u out a bit :D
