Should I veg for another week or two weeks?

[F.A Hayek]

Just out of curiousity you just fed the roots?

I fed the roots of the two biggest plants yesterday when I transferred them into larger pots coupled with regular spraying of diluted A & B on the foliage. The two other plants I root fed the day before that with a mild A & B mix and regular spraying as well.

PPM meter STILL hasn't arrived, so I'm still nute feeding relatively in the dark. The obvious yellowing on the Northern Lights plant is just from the HPS light. The plants I transferred into larger pots are growing like crazy and hopefully I'll be transferring the others into larger pots this weekend. How are they looking?

Thanks man! They are just starting to show sex, but it's still too early to tell. I'm gonna give them another week veg and flip them over to flowering!

depends on space . lighting. your goal. your experience. pots your using hydro ? environment ? what kind of lighting . how many plants per light . (posters) want an accurate answer you need to supply us with it all . if those were my plants then I would veg them for at least 2 or 3 months more. get them 3 to 4 feet tall

Space: 1.2 x 1.2 x 2.0m grow tent
Lighting: 400W HPS ( I'll be switching to a 600W HPS for flowering )
Goal: To at least fill out my tent given my time constraints ( The approaching summer is way intense, so I need to be harvesting my the end of December or early January at the latest ).
Experience: Ziltch, this is my first grow.
Environment: I keep the temps between 22-26, however they do climb to 28-29 during very hot days ( > 30 degrees ).
Number of plants: 4 - 100W for each plant.
Nutes: DutchMaster A & B Grow & Flower
Grow Medium: Coco Coir with Perlite and Vermiculite
Pots: Either 3 or 5 gallon, I couldn't find any markings on the pots I'm using that indicate the size.

They have grown quite considerably over the last week, so I'll post more flicks this afternoon.

Hey guys, the plants are doing fantastic. I started spraying with half a teaspoon of Epsom Salt diluted with 3 liters of water and they seemed to have loved it. The PPM is now correct too ( 650 PPM ) since my PPM meter finally arrived! The plants are all a super lush green and are at least waste height on me, so I'd say they're around 2ft tall. I still haven't transplanted the remaining two in the 1 gallon pots because I've been so busy with end of semester exams, but they WILL be transplanted by saturday. They have been vegging for almost 6 weeks now.

One of the Big Bud plants is female and so is the only Northern Lights plant! I'm still not totally sure about the other two, however I suspect the largest plant to be male ( little tiny white stalks with brown / blackish pods on the end ).

After I've transplanted the remaining two plants in the 1 gallon pots, should I let them veg for another week to let them get comfortable with their new pots or would it be okay to just flip them to flowering straight away? Oh, and if I keep them vegging can the pollen sacks on any of the potential males come upon and fuck shit up in my grow room?
