LESSON 8 - Vegetative State




From the moment the plant sprouts it will begin its vegetative state. First growing its initial two leaves, then three leaf tips, and then it will add one or two more leaf tips with each new growth. It will grow to about a foot before it is ready to be sexed into the flowering stage, although it is possible to sex them at seven inches or less. You may grow plants at as little as 18 hours lights on, 6 hours lights off, or alternatively grow them with 24 hours of light during their vegetative stage. You may want to mix in a small amount of hydrogen peroxide every other watering to give oxygen to the roots as well as kill off microscopic pests.

When they are at their fourth sets of true leaves you may want to introduce plant food to the plant at a 20-20-20 teaspoon per gallon ratio or similar. You can also top a plant at this stage and instead of one main cola you will have two slightly smaller ones and repeat this process if you want. Or you can train the plant by tying it down right for one day, left for another thereby letting the plant grow more bushy. A fan should also be used to make the stems of the plants more stronger so they will not fall over when they grow taller.
