I have heard that after a while the plants growth starts to reduce the yield. I believe it's true but the question is: how long can the vegetative stage go on without reducing the yield? It is said that 6-8 weeks is perfect. How about 2 months?

vegging for longer will do quite the opposite the bigger the plant when you start flowering the bigger your yield will be as long as you remember to pot up before switching to 12/12
8 weeks should give you nice big plants but... if you wanted to could go longer and get really big plants!
growing indoors the bigger the plant the less effective light can reach the lower plant growth,maybe thats what you meant about loosing yield?
if you're retired or you ain't got a job and you ain't growing and smoking weed ,i don't know what the fuck you are doing!
No, that's not what I meant. I read this from the Internet:
"You want your plants to grow up big and strong before you transition them to the flowering stage where they will actually be producing the buds. This stage which will last 4-6 weeks and in general, the longer you wait, the bigger the plant, and the higher the yield. Please note that there is a point of diminishing returns at which waiting any longer will actually reduce yield, but 4-6 weeks is perfect." http://www.marijuanagrowguide.info/V...ive_Stage.html[
I was surprised when I read it and I was just wondering, is it true.
I agree with Wert, it depends on what power lighting you have and the way you grow to determine what is the best amount of veg time. There's no point vegging for 8 weeks if your going to flower under a 250w CFL, if on the other hand you have a 1000w, good ventilation and enough space, you could veg for 3 months and get a massive yeild.
Irrespective of what lighting you have, if growing from seed it's always best to try and veg until the plants show sexual maturity, staggered nodes or pre-flowers will show when the plant is ready to flower and a sexually mature plant will always yeild more than a plant that has been forced to flower before this time.
i have taken my plants out to do some work on my grow box in dark period ( veg stage ) will they be ok
no they should be fine, only plants in 12/12 can be affected, they will be ok in veg.
