Hey Guys, This is my first ever grow and I must say it has been going surprisingly smoothly so far. I started with a GH Kalashnikova seed and a White widow seed. Germination was extremely quick with the Widow, taking only about 20 hours. The Kalash was slightly longer with about 2 days germination time. I planted them both in soil/natural fertilizer mixes and put them in my stealth PC case. The case was running on about 115W of CFL for early growth, later to be bumped up to 400W. I am loving these CFL bulbs as they emit very little heat and seem to do a decent job with vegetative growth. Unfortunately I don't have pictures from the really early stages of growth but here are the plants about 2-3 weeks from seed. They are extremely fast growing, especially the Widow. I am even LSTing her at this point to keep her the same height as the Kalash: Widow: Kalash: As of right now, I have the plants on Day 5 of flowering, and they have not yet shown their sex but I feel that it's close. I've done a tiny bit of trimming since these pictures were taken: Widow (Isn't it becoming a beast): The top of the Widow: My LST of the Widow: The Kalash (She is not taking the transition period as nicely as the Widow, but still very healthy, The roughed edges of some leaves are from being pushed by the small space of the case.): Stay tuned for more hopefully

So I heard from a usually reasonably credible source that if you leave a plant in vegetative growth, it can grow infinitely, or at least for a great deal longer than would naturally occur. I was wondering if anyone had ever pushed the envelope with this or if this notion is just total crap. I was thinking about it and it seems like the plant would get stringy and thinned out if this was done too long. Then again I could be totally wrong and it might actually work. I can only imagine a 100 foot plant grown inside some arena-sized facility lol...although I think a plant would need to be bred through many generations of this type of growth to adapt, as air density and pressure changes even over the course of a few meters. Obviously it isn't optimal for big bud production because of the weight issue but I was just wondering from a purely hypothetical standpoint and was wondering if anyone had experience with unusually long veg periods (6 months+) Thanks guys and sorry for the random question.
