Does the length of flowering stage reflect anything at all regarding the length of the vegetative stage? My plants have vegged for around 4 months on 24 hours of light, 0 hours dark, so that they could be repeatedly topped for multiple growth shoots. they are now on a 12/12 cycle and have been for 2 weeks. each plant has about 50-55 buds and trichomes are visible to the naked eye on each. Each plant is healthy with no nutrient deficiencies or problems, however i expected the growth to be larger, as each bud is only about 1/4-1/2 inch tall. they are on a high phos, low nitrogen formula with a guranteed analysis of 12-25-12. is this normal growth or slow? any advice is appreciated.
No it doesn’t, some growers take plants straight to fllowering. Give it some time, 2 weeks is nothing considering they had 4 months of veg.
