g'day everyone i am building a grow room for my first try at home grown. my mate reckons that 1.75 meters is what i should go for, im having trouble getting that hieght. i,ve been reading about sog's & scrog's. but i want to try full size first. what hiegt do all you reckon is sufficient. i have 1m x 1m base
any help you give me would be much appreciated
as far as hieght on an untopped plant...if you have hieght restrictions grow indica.
Veg 24/7 let it grow to about 1 1/2 to 2 feet or until the branches start to alternate. then flower on 12/12.
You're plants will double in size if growing indica...hybrids or sativa's can triple in size...but a mostly indica strain like Northern Lights or Afghani,Romulan.G-13 crosses would be Ideal because the G-13 keeps the plants to a very short finishing hieght(3 feet)
Go here click on Motarebel and check out "G-bolt" and all the other killer strains!
Motarebel :thumbsup:Here's his forum for more info
yeah thanks for that i,ve got about 4 feet that should do the trick
Do you hae 4 feet total including the space needed for the lights and such?
I ran into the same problem, although I had 5 feet to play with. I decided to bend the plant ala LST method. I chose Northern Lights for my strain for the same reasons you did.
This is a pic of my plant. It grew more like a bush than a tree and stayed pretty short.

yeah 4 feet total including lights dirt everything. my buddy said thats not enough. im gonna have to think of something else. i was digging it into the ground. water comes thro at 4 feet. i cant think of anyway to get deeper without water coming thro. i was gonna concrete the bottom.i dont want to grow in my garage cos i want it completely hidden.
i was told to have the light one foot above plants. i have a super spreader on the way, for under the light to not be as hot. maybe i need only 6 inches between plants and light.i havent tried it yet. lights are on the way. i have ordered 600w mh and hps.the mh is supposed to run on hps ballast
i was just looking at your thread, stickylight saber i see you have your pots covered in reflecter. i never thought of that. is it necessary. i might get white pots
Mylar covering the soil or rockwoll stoppes moss from growing and reflects much needed light back to the bottom branches.
would it be too much to run a 600w hps, 1 fan, 1 exhaust fan (thro carbon filter),two timers and 3 cfl bulbs from one power point
I'd put the light on one and everything else on another.(Extention cord)
