16 weeks? wow...i do have a question though...for anyone reading this...does it mean you will have more yield when you veg longer just because the plant is bigger...ive heard people say both so i wanted to ask on the site

I think it really depends on the strain. I can't recall where I was reading about this, but it was to the effect that there is a point where THC production maxes out, and sometimes this ideal is never reached when grown for a normal amount of veg time and sometimes it is. You could very well end up with a lot of schwag.

I remember when a friend grew outdoors once, he had a few plants and they grew huge with a lot of branches. His dad would go out to the spot as well and he pruned up one of the plants so that it only had a few branches, whereas the others had millions. To make this short, the pruned plant had some really good buds full of THC, whereas the huge ones were no better than ditchweed, because THC production was pretty evenly distributed amongst all of the buds.

Its possible that the plants were of a different phenotype or simply that the bigger plants needed more time to finish flowering.
