First true leaves from seed is first day of veg I guess. This post will go great with this one.

From Seed I figure 4 weeks after seed is placed in media.
Slow grow under T-5 Floros.
I shoot for 2.5 weeks VEG.
Unfortunately I have been running 4 weeks VEG and all my sh!t gets totally out of control.
Clone - Whenever they have rooted the solo cup enough to drop into 1 Gal pots.
I’m a dirt farmer.

I start Veg when my seedlings hit soil/soilless or whatever the media of choice is, was taught this way a long long time ago and have always considered this the Veg cycle imo, I know people are all over the place on this issue and it gets confusing sometimes when I say 50-60 days Veg and they are like “WTFF”

I honestly never count how many days they are vegging for.
I throw them into flower when I think they are ready, or, when I have room.

Good question. I considered once it germinates and pops up with that first lil set of leaves was day1 veg.

It starts as soon as I see green.

@Foreigner I agree, when the seed pops or when it has roots is what I consider day 1 of veg.
I never count days, track days or really care about veg days. I flip when it suits me, my space and what I’m trying to do.

Me too. It often ends up being 6 weeks but there are many factors to consider.

Veg day 1 is when the cotyledons open up
I’ve always considered the night you flip photoperiod to the following night day 1 of flower
Once they break the surface, it’s veg time. Anything else leaves it open to interpretation imho.

For me veg starts when they break the surface and stand up. I don’t count the periscope day.
