GMSgrowsanswered grow question 3 years ago It is true, it is in the seedling stage, but from the time it was sprouted it has been vegging along. A lot of people don't like to count the sprout as week 1 of veg, but I do., because it is actually the first week of growing so in all actuality it is in veg from the time it was born. If they really wanted you to count the first bit of its life as a seedling, they would have had a seedling section in the diary options. When you start the day of sprout as day 1 of veg. People can see how fast or slow (quality of grower) you really are. Cheers
