Thanks for stopping by Smokenss, there are many variables that effect the plant's eventual size. I'm aiming to keep this thing as low to the ground as possible. I'd estimate the trunk length at about 6 feet, 2 1/2 vertical and 3 1/2 ft near horizontal. I'll measure it tomorrow.

edit ~ I have grow sativa in side by side comparisons before and as a rule of thumb, I have found I can halve the height with a strict tying regime.

C. horizontalis

The same seed as the triffid above, but germinated 01/10/07, growing tied and weighted down in 40 litre pots. The purpose, a novel homecoming gift for a friend due back from the west coast. She likes topiary, bonsai etc, so I think she'll appreciate these.

Soil mix is sieved compost, basic proprietary potting mix, coir fibre (peat substitute), processed lucerne and coarse sand in a 2:3:1:1:1 ratio. Plus a handful of 1:2 blood and bone/dolomite lime worked into the lower half of each pot.

Liquid additives, seaweed extract 1/2 strength second weekly, alternating with fish emulsion if they look like they want more nitrogen. Monty's Organic, once for seedlings and monthly according to the directions during flowering.

(only found a pre tie pic for one of them.) :hippy:
