Hello,
I'm trying to clear something up and my search abilities are not working for it. I imagine this topic will depend on strain, if it's an auto or a photo, and other factors... but I was hoping there was a generalized notion of how I could determine the age of a plant. For example, does this image (taken from a post in another forum) work?

I ask this, mainly, because we are trying to follow a chart given by a friend who used to do hydro and recommended it for us as a general guide line for our feeding regime. Also, we are trying to set light distance according to age. The chart is:
FEEDING CHART (NOT INCLUDING PPM OF WATER)
Seedlings, Early Sprouts [0.2 - 0.5 EC] -> 100 to 250 ppm (Hannah) / 128-320 ppm (Eutech)
Early Vegging [0.6 - 0.8 EC] -> 300 to 400 (Hannah) / 384-512 (Eutech)
Full Vegetation: [0.9-1.4 EC] -> 450 to 700 (Hannah) / 576-896 (Eutech)
So, i guess my question is... when does Vegetative begin? When is "Early Vegging"? A wise grower says (if I understood correctly) that he wouldn't lower his lights (the same light i have) until "mid-veg" begins... how can I determine this?
I had understood many years ago (don't remember where from) that cannabis entered vegetative phase once the 5th real set of leaves was developed and the 6th set was starting to form. The image I shared above says it's a bit further on... when the 7th set is done and the 8th is starting to form. Which is right? What are your thoughts?
