Choosing marijuana strain
#7390070 - 09/09/07 10:33 PM (16 years, 4 months ago) |
|
|
today i obtained my mj liscens and the club (which is 2 min from my house) has many clones to choose from.. i really want to grow but the only space i have is about 4 1/2 feet in my closet... i know there are some plants that stay short and bushy. Does anyone know of any strains that are notorious for being short and bushy or is there a way to keep a strain from growing tall.?

Anything indica will be shorter then sativa strains. Also plants can be trained by bending or pruning to be shorter, so with a little effort you can grow even the tallest weed short and bushy. An example would be Trainwreck or White Widow

you can flower this strain very early and still get big buds

or even

..
i grew 2 of these in my front yard under a bush last season for fun, got like 12g off each
but if u let them get bigger like the top pic u can get 50g+ easy per plant

If you flower your clones as soon as they drop roots they won't get that tall. When I was helping my friend do his they never got above 20 inches when we did them that way. The only issue with the closet is getting fresh air in there and keeping heat down. I've been meaning to look into ELECTRONIC fluorescents. I saw a video a while back where this guy was growing them in boxes using these lights with very little electricity use and very low heat output.

DO NOT...i repeat DO NOT grow any low ryder strain. unless you dont want to yield much and want your plants to flower whenever they feel like it. also it is easy to get away with sending seeds from aus to usa.

i have never grown before and lst ing seems fairly simple...or at least a simple concept... i think i may do it to my plants regardless of the space i have to grow! doesnt it yield more that way...since you have more surface reaching towards the light?

well there's this method that has been experimented with for growers who don't have that much grow space
the point of this method is to use a 12/12 light regime from start to finish
so right when the seedlings pop out of the dirt it's 12/12 light until harvest time
i have tried this method you can use it with almost all strains
the benefit is that the plants grow shorter and the bud just grows on one big fat cola
here's the link for more details here

Zandra on planetskunk told me it would be worth the extra couple weeks to go ahead and veg it for a lil while for larger yields. Or to keep it small she recommended atleast veg it 3 sets of leaves before 12/12.

yes
but the thing is with LR hybrids is the potency problem
a lot of growers have said that many of the hybrids have low potency due to the Cannabis Ruderalis genetics

hmm i'll definitely give that a shot
but i usually grow it harvest then put the plant back on a 24/0 light regime which sets the plant right back into flowering again so i can get multiple harvests with the same plant!
and the bud from then 2nd or 3rd harvests are just as potent!
i learned this trick from a user from icmag

Ruderalis Indica was bred to be a psychoactive hybrid with features inherited mainly from C.Ruderalis – broad, tough, bushy plants with the full auto-flowering ability – and a much higher THC content than the wild strain. The Ruderalis Skunk breeding program achieved almost the reverse – a Skunk hybrid that retains the potency, yield and vigour of its exceptional family line, inheriting only the unique flowering trait of the land-race.

and.. heres what lz had to say about 12/12 from germination.
Quote:
you can-- it will be quite small-- BUT-- will grow until chenically able to bloom--- I'd let it get to at least the 3-set of leaves stae and get her 1st nutes before going 12/12--- give her a healthy start.
Hard to say how long it would take in total, as each stain and even each phenome grows at different rates... they will just grow until sexually mature-- But be SURE they have a LOT of light-- or they'll be stretched!

hmm i like that idea of the 12/12 all the way through...sounds more fool proof than lst ing too. I have never grown before so im not too worried about the yield as much as the experience.

no try going to a local garden center look for potting soil that is all organic the kind that has like worm casings, bat guano, etc.
that's if you're lazy and don't really want to waste energy to use nutrient solutions

If your gonna lst throw it under 24/0 light for veg.
Heres another reply to my thread over there
Quote:
The Dutch Method
16 plants grown on 12/12 from seed, 1sq metre yielded over 12 OZ's in 9.5 weeks start to finish.
Recently been shown some stuff on a new Dutch 'intensive' method...4" pots (yes 4" pots), grown on 12/12 from seeds, sexed at 16/18 days and grown onto yield an average of 22 grams per plant on one single cola! All side growth is eliminated so you get a single cola of 50 - 70cm average. The real beauty is that they stay in 4" pots but you make them deeper, so in a SQ metre of space where you might normally get 4 plants or so you get 16 plants and in the test I saw that sq metre yilded over 12 oz from from those 16 plants in just 9 weeks. This is real food for thought. In my experience if I grow 4 'biggish' plants in that SQ metre I might produce an average of 1.5 oz per plant or 6 oz's per sq metre and that in 14 weeks with 5 weeks vegging from seed.The potential is to effectively DOUBLE the yield in the same space AND cut the cycle down to under 10 weeks.
Now this is something im definatly going to do sometime.

Im guessing your referring to when i said 24/0 light, for vegging you want your plants to get all the light they can get.. When they are ready to flower you take them over to 12/12 (they normally bud when they get more darkness, unless they are an auto flower strain like lowryder).

Oh ok i see what your saying now, why would you want to transplant? that would only cause stress, Maybe your thinking that because of the small pots? I think the small pots are for two reasons. One it will keep the root system smaller which should maintain the plant at a smaller size. And two because you can fit alot more plants in a smaller area increasing the total yield.
I haven't tried that method and Ive only grew a couple plants before. I'm not really experienced in this field, but I'm learning just like you

cool im glad we are in the same boat! the smaller container does make sense... i may have to go for 4 plants instead of two now since i will be using smaller pots. Damn i learn something new every time i get on this site

smaller pots = root bound = other problems, small yield, slow growth etc... but a root bound plant will veg, flower and stay small..

Yea but did you read that post... it isnt how much you yield per plant.. but instead fitting more plants into a smaller area to increase total yield.
