Spacing question

[Gladiat0r]

Will 14 inches in height be enough space to flower some plants?

if you take like 2 inch cuttings maybe........but that would probably be a pain.....if you had at least 2 feet, you could get a good bit of clones and SOG it.

I say yes you can! Just keep all the stems bent down toward the rim of your pot. Grow it horizontally instead of vertically! It's a well tested technique. You can use hooks, paper clips, wire, string anything. Just be careful not to break the stem unless you want lots of branching. I think it would be awesome to make a spiral winding around and around. :) There's a pic in my growlog of lst on a small clone.

*edit* Oh yeah, and my cuttings were like one or two inches. And I put the cuttings directly in 12/12. Next time I will veg them for a while, but this time I am just sexing my plants so I wanted to do it quickly as possible. Although, I took the cuttings from immature plants, and the cuttings are not flowering until their parent plants develop alternate nodes. That's freaking wierd!!! They are on opposite sides of the house from eachother, how do they know?!?! :) I think they count how many nodes away from the roots of the parents they are. Maybe there's a bit of DNA or protein that gets shorter with each cell division? Once it gets used up they grow their mature forms?? Any bioengineers on these forums know what's up with this? Oh, and it needs its own thread if anyone wants to illuminate us.

Ok. Heres what i know.

So in my understanding plants act out most of their lives with proteins acting as hormones..simple as that. Well, its actually ALOT more complicated.
They way i look at it is that the plant can put its $$ into a lot of different areas of itself(roots, leaf size, bud size, bud pistils, bud THC, and so many other thinks that we couldn't even put into words that the plant desires to do) these things DO have something, one thing, in common that they all share..their need for energy..so its hormones that are doing the actual distribution of the plants energy in a good way to think of what is happening. Take bud/leaf/apical stem growth sites; each separate(we will call them colas) cola will PRODUCE its own hormone and the one with the most will be given the most energy! simple as that..but this is just one example. Each TYPE of hormone for each TYPE of job will act in a different way. To further our example..what happens when the cola is chopped almost completely; it stops a majority of its hormone production. In response the plant gives less energy to it and more to it's neighboring colas. But this goes for proteins it produces for leaves, roots, basically each type of cell or "cell responsibility" has it's own hormone(s) which are constantly affecting the plants overall energy distribution!
So maybe you can say, yeah dmahny88, i understand this. Or maybe you are confused. Or maybe you've already heard something close to this. If you do, then this is where you all should start using this knowledge on your mj plants folks! Think of these things whenever you see "change" in your plant as this can mean something to a different part of your plant. For example, i am in flower and i saw my leaves begin to grow less; my explanation. The plant realized that winter will come and kill/stop their mj production so they grow buds. As A Result, leaf energy input decreased(think of the hormones), leaves got no bigger, and the buds got bigger. This is a very simple, easy to see example of energy distribution but a good grower should see that the relations between these things are never simple. Questions that need to be asked are Endless
What did this do to leaves
to roots
to levels of photosythesis
to roots' uptake amount
what roots/plant is now benefiting most from uptaking?
and it goes on and on..
This is all easily explained with marijuana in it's natural habitat to succeed(natural selection), but inside a grow box? Hormones my friend:thumbsup:, hormones:D

For your specific question i would say that there could be a long-running hormone(just a guess off the fly but it could be as good as an answer when you are simply looking at the AFFECT of the many hormones inside) from seed to finish that could be acting as a timer for the plants which is why even though they were chopped apart, sparated into different rooms, and grown, they still acted upon the same vegging timeline, correct, yes? So think of DNA as all the structure and information input necessary for the plant to be doing everything right in it's protein department because THIS is where the real action happens i believe. Proteins BABY:stoned:haha
I am a bio-major with a little bit of understanding on photosynthetic plants. Ok transplant that thing..and this post if its what you were looking for JD1st. PEACE!
