What is the shortest time that you can veg a plant before flowering it?

There is no set time you have to veg a plant. I have a plant that I started with 12/12 light and it is a fine plant just small. Just veg as long as your room can handle. Your plants will double or triple their size in flowering so you have to be prepared for a stretch. Good luck

Ditto what Tom said. Just want to point out that your patience with vegging will be rewarded.

I totally agree, my 12/12 from seed plant is half the size of plants the same age that were vegged. You can check out my journal for pics to show the difference between the two

if you skip veg, what is your yield like? I know you cant be exact but it is around half ounce or lower? with 5000 lumens per square feet.

There is a lot more involved in it than lumens man... What type of lighting, nutes, growing media, training? There's a lot to it haha

I would suggest vegging for a few weeks and if height is an issue try topping the plants to promote bushier growth

As said you can start with a 12/12 cycle as that is how they grow naturally or around that. Just because your on 12/12 though the plant would still be in a vegetative state as its now focusing energy on buds but primarily foliage.
