 seed to bud

Heres the rundown. Indoor grow using foxfarm ocean forest soil and greenhouse seeds. I have 5 seedlings about a week old with their first leaves. I want to grow them to bud before my honeymoon. I have 11 weeks. Is it even possible to get a useable amount from these plants in that amount of time given their current state?

You say you got 11 weeks right?
Then veg for 2 to 3 of those weeks and flip the switch to flower should do fairly well. Of course this would put you cutting it just before the honeymoon.

You can't smoke straight from the plant. The bud has to be cured.......

I would suggest the growing cycle as mentioned above. When you harvest the buds, set most of it in a cardboard box with some holes, close to a fan. Better if you hang the buds from strings. Take the amount you want on your honeymoon and use a food dehydrator or use a fan to dry them out faster.
You need to have the buds pretty dry as possible. If you can't get them dry, you can get those gel silica packs and put them in the bottom of a jar, with a net screen above to hold the buds. That'll suck out all the moisture fast; then just put them in a sealed glass jar to take with you.
They don't have to be bone dry before the jar, but be warned; if they are wet at all in the jar you better vent it often or else you'll get moldy buds. Which are no fun at all.

Nonsense. It has to be dried, but curing is purely a matter of personal preference.
As for shamandustin, I would recommend vegging for 3 weeks, then picking up a bottle of Bushmaster from Humboldt nutrients and feeding that during the first week of flowering. That should cut your flowering time down to about 7 weeks or so meaning you'll harvest a week before your honeymoon giving you plenty of time to dry it so you can get good and high before you consumate that union

I wouldn't use bushmaster before week 4, after my last experience with it.

Lower the yield big time. Plants that should have gave me 100-120 grams only went about 60 grams a piece. They were also over rip at 44 days of flowering. I think Magash told me in the past to be careful not to use it to early, and now I think I have seen what he meant by it.

So you mean to veg them for 4 weeks before you apply it right, you still apply during the first couple days of flowering?

No, I mean 4 weeks into flowering. The plants I tested it on were from seed and had about 5 months of veg time. They were this years mothers. We ran them last keeping a clone from each for next year.
But I used it on 5 differ plants four it was used in week 3, day 16 of flowering and yield sucked ass, on the other we waited until week 5, day 28 of flowering and she did well and ripped up nicely by harvest on day 51 just over 7 weeks. So my notes say.

well that's confusing to me because everything I've heard about that product is to use it early to prevent the plants from stretching too much. If you're applying it in week 4 the stretch is already done, so what's the point in using it at all? are you sure you're not talking about Gravity?

I'm sure, I use Gravity the first two days of week 5 and 7 on 8 week plants. A lot of the plants I work with don't stop growing upward until about week 5 tho. I'm sure it'd work different with different strains. Also it doesn't really slow down upward growth, it stops it with in 24 hrs of first feeding. So you at least want to get it as tall as you want it before using it. Other wise you'll just come up short.lol
