Hey,

I'm considering to grow Nirvana special from nirvana seeds in my 60cm x 120cm, 2m tall closet, and I'm thinking if I should make many dwarf plants(starting flowering after 1-2 week) or make a few big ones. How many plants would be possible with dwarfing or growing big ones? Any guess for yield per plant if starting flowering after a week or two(or how much)?
And also, what is the best way to keep the humidity levels? If keeping plain water, how big should the container be to keep this area humid enough?

Thanks:jointsmile:

hey again bro i posted in your other thread and ill post the excact same thing here:)

I think u should see ur growing space then determine how much of a "Dwarf" it will be

Cause once induced to flowering the plant doubles in size, so if u have 18" of growing space

then u should flower when the plant is like 7-9 inches high and LSTing (Low Stress Training)

can work very well in that way of using grow space.

Peace.:thumbsup::jointsmile:

Hey,

thanks for the tips, I'm considering lst with medium sized plants, at what point I should start the lst and when should I end it? Though doesn't lst take more space to grow, but produces nicer yield?
My two lowryders were planted yesterday... One is about 1cm high with the seed still attached.

Thanks:jointsmile:

it depends how much space u want to have for convenience of

watering and misting and the sort, but u can start Lsting anything

after prolly i would say 2 weeks.You will get nicer yeild if you LST

cause then ull have more space so if u would have to flower at 6" you could

now flower at 6" but the plant will be MUCH larger.

Thanks.
Is it possible to veg it for two weeks and then start LSTing and flowering at the same time? How long I should keep the plant tied, or is it possible to keep it tied through the whole flowering period, just re-tie it as needed?

you can flower them when there 2 weeks and LST but u have to be VERY careful when

tying the stem cause it will be sensetive but can be done. And Yes you keep tied threw the

whole flowering period to keep its small height and retie certain points if there getting too high.

Hope I can help and by the way, on a personal note do u have any extra lowryder seeds?

Hey m8,

thanks, this really solved what I'll be growing, only few questions left, my grow room is 2 feets long, 4 feets wide, 7 feets tall. How many plants with 2 week veg time and lst I could fit there, how big should the soil pots be?
Do you have any idea for the yield per plant? (The orig jack herer is up to 125g's per plant.)

And as for the lightning, is 400w enough, or should I consider 600w?

I bought my seeds from my friend, he ordered from here> CANNABIS ZAAD CANNABIS ZADEN seeds Marijuana Weed Wiet Nederwiet Marihuana Hemp Zaden Zaad (http://www.snow-white.nl) ,it's cheap(2.50 euros for lowryder, 3.50 for LR#2(plus 3.50 for shipping), reliable and they send 'em worldwide (with pretty fast delivery).:thumbsup:

ok now continuing ur question, your gonna want at least a 1-2 gallon pot considering its not

gonna have ALOT of roots seeing as ur gonna flower it at an early age, i would say that you

are gonna yeild anywhere from 15+ in grams, but that is just an estimate. BUT THE PROCESS WILL NOT BE LONG AT ALL.

Seeing as flowering only takes about 2 months + the 3 weeks or so of veg ur giving it

your looking at around 11 weeks, and then a week or so of curing then ull be toking up

Keep the questions coming if u need to

Lighting wise the 400w is fine considering i grow nice buds underneath 8 x 26 watt cfl's

seeing as im on a budget.Keep me updated on your grow

Flower period or as ever long as you like your trichomes

I looked up 2 gallon pots that are about 8.5x8.5 inches wide/tall, I measured this would fit 10 of those in the grow space that's 2 feet long and 4 feet wide, would this be proper, or how many you think would be ok?

Is it possible to just cure the buds, or the 7-10 day drying is required?

PS. mailed you back

You NEED to dry them to get alot of the wetness off them, but the curing stage is just to

get the better tast that comes with age.

PS. I watch all your posts seeing how ur like my bro on the forum

interesting read

does LSTING mean bending the top of plant?
to fit in small space

Write "lst cannabis" to google, you should find more detailed explanations on that.
