I know the process. But I want to ask you guys... My plants are now super short a very very bushy.. You cannot see the stem unless you pull back a few leaves... Now the question.. If I veg for 6 weeks Instead of 4.. Will I get more bud? Im running a 400mh and will flip to a 600hps later.. Also in a cooltube 5" from the plant tops! Because my lights are very cool.

If you want my setup details take a look at my grow video/journal in my signature.. The last video is just over a week old but its now triple in size and thickness.. But very very short only because the lights are so close...

So tell me.. Longer vegging or not? Will update video tommorow night of them how they look now.. Cant do it yet caz parents r over from interstate! N there really nosy lol:leaf:

Did any of you guys take a look at my grow on my signature? I mean.. They are so short!! But Extremely bushy!!! Internode distances are about as small as your small fingers nail 1CM. Distance in between nodes.
Very fat leaves and very healthy plants

Yeah I just checked it out, give em time. If you want them to stretch raise your light a little. You are in control of them remember that pal.

I would trim the lowest 4 inches or so of every branch and veg 2 more weeks. At this point you would easily benefit from more veg, ut there actually does come a time where it might be detrimental because dense leaf growth is blocking too much light. I veg long with dense plants as well. I trim like crazy, stunting is never a concern. If it's not beneficial, it's blocking buds, or it's not gonna make a dense nut, it gets cut.

Definitely wait if you have the space for a bigger plant. Besides bigger buds it will also be older/more fully mature (ie, more potent). Especially if it's a squat plant, it's not going to stretch much during flower most likely, so the extra veg time will really benefit you as compared to a sativa influenced plant that you have to worry about stretch.

Even with the smaller squat plants you will find if you veg a couple of more weeks it will likely hit a growth spurt and be substantially bigger than now. That small means it most likely would benefit from a bit more maturing.

There is nothing wrong with veging for 6 wk instead of 4,you perhaps have gained your self a heavyer harvest by doing so,But this might be down to the amount of lights you are useing ,because i can have my plants 1 1/2 /2 ft tall in 4 week.But i will near always flower at 1 ft tall just beacuse of experiance i don't think there is nothing to be gained from haveing big plants unless you are growing out doors.A 2 ft plant will prob end up 6 ft by the end of flowering,if you cant see the stem through it been bushy then this is a good thing tight internodes,never remove a healthy leave.you should get a decent yeild from the plants growing under 1 600 hps,just don't over do it on the amount that you are gonna do under the one light,has for adding extra cfl or flouresent lights this can only aid in the yeild.i think since i have been growing that i have lost a lot of weight through topping.Yes topping i have done test on topping and not topping over multiple grows and the plants that are not topped produce just has much but most of the time more.This is worth noteing because a topped plant will be set back at least 7/12 days then strech,this is not due to light i have 3 x 600 cool hoods in a 8 ft x 4ft x 12 ft height.The most important tool in getting the max from any plant are good nutes canna or advanced i use both,but even more important a good ec metre.The nutes i use are canna a/b for veg,with a bit of rhizatonic then flowering canna a/b wk two big bud from advanced for 3/4 wk.Then just canna a/b till 3 week b4 end of grow then pk 13/14 from canna....tyke

Pretty small for 4 weeks still... if it were me I would for sure veg longer for better yield if I could afford the space.

Every 12 inches = 1/4 pound ;-)

Your space should dictate your size?

IMO

Never heard that one before - I like it :) Seriously though you will definitely get substantially more by vegging longer and letting those babies get bigger I guarantee it. Only reason not to is if you REALLY don't have the space due to microgrowing. Those plants will be even more beautiful when they get a little bigger and more vigorous too. Small stems/branches = small buds.

Most people lump those together buddah... when do you consider vegging actually starting? sexual maturity?
