What is Vegetative growth?

[SmokeyMacPot]

Vegetative growth is the second stage in the life of a plant after it completes germination and begins photosynthesis. During this stage a plant will be photosynthesising as much as possible to grow as large as it can before the onset of the flowering (Generative) phase. In essence it is the period of growth between germination and the beginning of sexual maturity characterised by flowering.

All plants have a vegetative stage where they are growing as fast as possible. It is almost standard practice to grow Cannabis plants with no dark period, and increase the speed at which they grow appreciably. Plants can be grown vegetatively indefinitely (Mother Plants for clones). It is up to the gardener to decide when to force the plant to flower.

keep it in a pot until it is showing root bound moving it is stressful enough why transplant?

the pistols will dry up if you keep it 24/7
it needs lots of light and a stable environment
on the bright side you know its a female so your not wasting your time

When the first set of spiked leaves appear fertilize at a 1/4 strength. You can use Super Thrive to help it grow, but only in the veg stage.

or just plain ol' fish emulsion (5-1-1)

I never used the Super Thrive, so I can't say.
Not always a choice about Best, but which is cheaper and handy, for me.

[Frog]

Don't see the falling stems,
get a fan to blow gently on them to strengthen the stems.

Okay, for young ones like that maybe 60+ humidity.

Yes, 1/4

Just right for flower in a few weeks.

They are clones right? not seedlings?

[Frog]

Just set an open container with water in the tent.
like a cookie sheet, the more surface area the better

If That works,
add another, once you have too many,
you'll have to get a humidifier.

First off...the question wasn't there for a answer. This is the Tutorial part of the site and the question was answered in the first post.
And your answer is partially correct. i use a 18/6 light schedual for veg. Not 24 hours. Veg cycle is part of the plants growth cycle, not the light schedual.

Appetite Yes, sleep not really.

Good info. Thanks.

Actually the indica induces sleep not sativas, sativas are more of an active High...
