This is the thread where I show that plant. It shows my methods from beginning to end, although the Black Candyland is a side show.
In short, it was grown in my ebb and grow buckets using Greenleaf Nutrients.
I don’t remember how long I vegged it, but it was taken from my aeroponics tub, so it was small enough to pull the roots through a 2 inch hole. Here’s an example of what it probably looked like…
That’s 5 plants, and the tote size is 50 gallons. I can’t really let them get much bigger than this, so that’s why I think the Black Candyland was about this size. And your specific question about how long I let it veg is not a good guide to go by. Not all plants grow at the same rate - even if they’re the same strain. If the plants are happy and getting exactly what they need, the growth can be faster than you might expect. Here are those same 5 plants 20 days earlier:
They’re sitting in my 5 gallon cloning/seedling bucket. You can see they’re not all the same size, so I moved the 3 smallest ones to the big tub and increased their nutes, and let the 2 largest ones remain in that bucket until they were all the same size.
Here are those 3 smallest ones that same day, after I moved them to the tub. So you can really see their growth in 20 days when you look at the more recent pic of all 5…
