What does that actually mean??


I usually just say how long from sprouting since idk when a plant is officially in veg.


I’ve seen a few seedling guides where they say three nodes is the end of seedling and start of veg, is that when people start counting?

Officially is relevant to each...I count when the first true leaves are about 1 inch long...but that's me.

I'd say when they’re getting the first actual leaf set after the true leaves. Basically the point where I introduce nutes.

Lol so about the same as what my research said.


Some people say when it’s got a few nodes and some as soon as it sprouts.

I’m surprised there’s not a standard time frame.

It’s crazy two people will both say “I vegged six weeks” but ones plant will be two weeks older.

Same thing with flowering. Some count from the flip and some count when it actually starts to flower.

Does it even matter though? Just count how you want, worry about your plants, and don't worry about other people's math. :mrgreen: :peace:

Lol it won’t once I’ve got a few grows under my belt.


Sometimes I’ll compare my plants to other peoples pictures and see how the sizes line up. Took me a minute to figure out why some were massive.

Some may be massive due to grow style...say DWC for instance...very fast growth apparently, since nutrients are introduced immediately.

I can take one example with Kali Mist from Serious. On their site they state 10-11 weeks but I've had phenos that were done in 110-125 days, that's 16-17 weeks.

Don't go by days or stated numbers, no way to tell when a human baby's becoming sexually matured when they're born, same with Cannabis. Good luck with your grow!

Yeah I started a few in soil and then decided to try one in coir after reading about it.

Definitely going all coir from now on. To me it’s easier than soil and the plant is way bigger and faster.

The only consistent and unambiguous measure of veg length is days from germination. Wet paper towel until the tail pokes out, plant seed and start the clock. Similarly, flower time should start at the 12/12 flip rather than some subjective measure of when flowers appear.
The number is largely irrelevant since the plant will dictate when to flip or chop, not the calendar. But if we're gonna use numbers its important to have the same starting point.
