Oh yes…those were long before the Hash plants…Pretty sure those were the ones in in M3 soil, then fed the last 1/2 of flower…

This girl only got two weeks or so of veg, she was topped, then flowered for 10weeks, two colas were pollinated during 2nd week…
I mostly jusy play it by ear but I like to experiment, great topic! Appreciate everyone’s shared experiences

I don’t count or aim for a specific timeframe but generally over 6 weeks and sometimes longer, I like big plants and it all depends on how full the flowering room is at the moment.

Until i can judge the tent will be full by week 2.
6 weeks for seeds. Sog would be less
I usually veg until they’re a 12-16 inches and then flip.
If starting from seed I prefer to go 60 days from seedling before flip to reach maturity. Sometimes that means heavily topping plants come flower, other times it’s just right. Some lst and crushing of stems can extend your time on particularly vigorous cultivars. Otherwise it’s take take cuts from those and hope they’re tall enough come time to flower.
If the plant auto flowers in the pot in veg… I usually toss it 
A decent amount of lines’ males will do this.

A breeder I was talking to one time said he liked to veg for at least 60 days because it allowed the plant to really develop mature terpenes in flower. It made sense to me and that’s what I shoot for. If I know a strain has a big stretch I’ll supercrop it through the first two weeks of flower then let it rip. I don’t know if science backs this up but mature, big plants tend to flower quickly at the flip and give me a good yield.

This all resonates with my experiences so far growing, I usually veg around 80-90 days from seed since I start the next round just after I flip most of the time, and they get the full 63-77 days plus another week of adjusting under the R-Spec before I flip. It seems to give really good and complex expressions of everything I grow, good or bad, making the genetics the limiting factor. I top once in mid veg, let them get real bushy, and then explode in early flower and supercrop/trim lowers aggressively to keep things manageable in there. It seems like it works pretty good!

My indoor history has shown that if I don’t make a bit about of a commitment to Veg ie: 4weeks +, the plants have never rewarded me with a yield that was worthy
Raised a Walter White that was Bullied because I kept laughing at it. Never even cured it, threw it out
