So besides LST, how can I make sure that I get a good yield from my strawberry cough I just ordered (its 75% sativa/25% indica)?

I know that sativa grows tall, and I only have a 2x4x5 tent, due to limited space.

I'm only growing 2 plants.

I was hoping to get a decent yield, but now my hopes are starting to deminish.

Again, I'm using a 400 watt MH and HPS light for veg/flower.

Well, being I am growing that, and know the plant, you probably want to trim it in veg to make small bushes. The plant itself grows thumb sized buds, so it would be good in LST or shrub versions. I noted though, that the first three harvests were no where near as intense of an effect as the ones since then, it takes this plant awhile to really mature, and grown from seed is only to get a mother, I think. It is some pretty kick ass stuff at 10 months old and does not couch lock me. It is a keeper.

In my situation, I trim it one time to make two main cola bearing branches. Goes in flower at a foot tall, grows up to 3-4 feet in flower under those conditions.

or just use Bushmaster...it is for limiting stretch and stacking the nodes

1 or 2 applications~can be used in the days just before flowering up to 2 weeks into flower....your sativa will stretch about a third of what it would normally with BM :thumbsup:

It takes 10 months to harvest? Thats a really long time. I do plan on using a lot of LST in order to get a bush.

Whats Bushmaster?

I would tend not to use chemicals in something you plan to consume... LST is the way to go IMO...

I really want to get an explosive yield if I can, and have it be done by the end of the summer.

Its my first grow, so I'm not expecting it to be awesome, but I've invested about $550 in a good setup.

Bushmaster is no chemical haha. Its a life saver. :thumbsup: I started a clone 1.5 months ago and had no idea how rapid growth is in hydro. Lets just say the only way this girl is going to survive a full flower is BUSHMASTER!:D
