I'm so bored, waiting for these plants to grow! Am I being impatient? Or is something amiss?

Day 44 of veg in my hydro, ebb and flow setup. See my journal for more pics.
These are either the shortest plants in the world or I have forgotten what new plants look like and act like.
Should I lower the screen?
Should I let it veg for another month?
I'm almost out of smokeable weed, too, but that is going to be a problem anyway.
Just hate to go through the whole rigamarole of buying again. I have to order stealth from Calif., putting money with bitcoin, and that takes a week; then another week to get the stuff. And worrying about the mail.
I have lots of tincture. I can do that. But not the same.

I have revegged more than growing from seed. (long story, but basically accidentally revegged my first grow, and then took to the practice.)
Please comment and tell me if I'm doing something wrong, etc.
I feel I should have put three plants in the tent instead of two. But I plan to reveg these and didn't want the grow to get out of hand like it did with the last reveg.

Well, good news...your plants look healthy! :goodjob:

How long you want to wait on vegging is really up to you. In an "ideal world", you'd let them continue to veg until they filled up the screen, weaving and tucking along the way, then you'd make the flip. If you're in an "emergency situation" and need a harvest ASAP, all bets are off! ;)
 
Thanks for the kind words. I’m not desperate enough, i guess. Planning to let them veg a bit.i will have to buy. LOL
 
Happy Monday from Pinktiger central.
The plants are growing well, and I should just chill out instead of worrying about how large they will get. Yesterday I adjusted the sleep time again, now to 8 hours of sleep with 16 of light. Next week I'll drop it another hour, and at the end of the month, 12/12. The heat is good, at a high of 79 deg F and a low of 73. PH is steady at 6.0.
They have preflowers all over them. They smell good. And there's no problems with algae on the table, or bugs.
I kill the algae with vinegar and H2O2 mixed, sprayed on the tray only. (Not on plants). It works like a charm.

I have a new toy, and once the plants go to flower, will pull it out - a new digital microscope that takes photos with my iPhone.
Also, I'm trying to improve my photos in photoshop, to adjust the color so it doesn't look so magenta.


Here's the latest pics.





 
Looking good, Brother! :welldone:

FYI, I'd be careful about dropping the light schedule. Though it's not likely, it's possible that dropping even one hour off the light cycle of a photo plant can cause it to go into flower and 12 hours of darkness isn't a "hard-fast" number. Plus, your objective right now is to get that screen to fill up ASAP.

I'd keep them under 18/6, if not 20/4, let them veg like crazy & fill up the screen, then switch to 12/12. Forget about trying to mimic the slowly changing season. You don't have the sun in your growroom and your plants need as much light as possible.

:Namaste:
 
Thank you! I will go back to 20/4 immediately then. I wasn't all that sold on it anyway.
