The ultimate question for any new indoor grower is “how long should I veg before flipping to flower?"

Why is this such an important question?

Because the flowering stage has a fixed length of time. It is more or less around 60 days.

But the duration of the vegetative stage is not fixed; at least not when you are growing indoors. The Veg Stage indoors can be as long or as short as you want it to be.

So if it’s up to you to determine how long to veg your plants, how do you make such a decision? What is the answer?

The answer is, “it depends.”

What does it depend on? It depends on your desired outcome. 

There are many different goals or outcomes that a grower might have, and each of these will entail a different strategy. 

In this recent article, we teach you how to work backwards from your desired goal to determine exactly how long you should veg your plants.

Recent Pheno Hunts

We are always on the hunt for new phenos, searching for the best of the best from the seeds we plant.

We have been documenting most of our pheno hunts this year on this YouTube play list.

Among some of the notable pheno hunts were the recent run of seeds from Relentless Genetics. 

We went with the Rozay F4 and the #1 Stunna, the latter being my personal favorite, but both having something different to offer. You can see video of each pheno selection in those articles.

More recently, we just finished hunting Guava Jelly Sundae, which you can see how Dan brought the winning pheno into the office as soon as he found the one he liked!

But most exciting have been the pheno hunts of the strains we created at Smokey Okies. 

New Strains bred by Smokey Okies!

Just this month, we finished two pheno hunts of two strains we created, in-house. They were:

1. The Winner's Circle (Ricky Bobby x Champagne Showers)
2. Un-named?? (Stank House x Champagne Showers)

As soon as they were harvested, we had to do our homework reviewing these strains. Here is a quick look at the phenos that made the final line up:

Do you guys have a good name for Stank House x Champagne Showers? 

Please reply and let us know!

Seedbank Update: 

inching closer to our launch!

We continue to work on toward building our online store to legally sell you seeds of the genetics we are breeding. 

You can keep checking out our latest breeding update videos on YouTube, as these give you an idea of what kind of genetics we will be offering you. 

Hopefully by next month we have a more definite time frame to share with you. 

Until Next Time,

 Happy Growing and Smoking!
