I am looking for some knowledge on how long people tend to veg their plants for. Maybe you can leave some suggestions as well. I want big F()CI<ing plants. LOL, I have 4 1000w HPS and my ceiling is about 9ft high and I have lots of room. My legal limit is 12 flowering. What are your estimates on possible size on a range of 12-24 plants? Any ideas are appreciated!!

I assume this is for medical reasons and you need a steady supply? My suggestion is starting a SOG grow style. Grow a few mother plants (I normally vegetate for 6 weeks after a two week pre-growth stage which is under floros) If you can have 12 flowering plants, make a few stations. Most flowering plants take about 8 weeks. You could break it down into 3 stations, keeping your mothers using the remaining light. Use the other three stations for 4 flowering each. You'll harvest around 15-30g off 4 plants every 3 weeks depending on the nutrients used with those lights.

You say you want big plants? Veg them for a good 2-3 months and they'll get nice sized for ya.

3 times the size when you switch to flowering

Thanks bro, But I'm not looking for SOG. I'm looking for something like the biggest harvest from the smallest amount of plants. If you look at my vid you'll have an idea of my room.

I do have a separate clone room under florescent lights with an aeroponic cloner .

If that's your grow room with your plants you already know your answer better than %99.999 of people here.

Your probably right. But I was just fishing for ideas. You never know what you don't know untill you know what you don't know.

Size would all depend on the strain. Indicas get 40%-60% taller during the first 2-3 weeks of 12/12 and Sativas double or even triple in height.

I vegged them for 4weeks under 1000w HPS.
I used 4 plants per 1000w light.
Next I'm doing 3 per 600w.
