Strains that like flouro?

[sawleaf]

Only strain I've tried under flourecents is White Widow. Four 42watt compact flourecents. The plants are thriving with lush green growth. It is a sativa/indica hybrid I know, but I am going to try some more pure sativa strains next.

I knew if I waited long enough I'd get an answer from someone who knows what they're talking about. I'm aiming for a shorter indoor hybrid that's mostly sativa. I've grown Widow under MH before, let me know how it goes with compact fluoros. Thanks

HvyFuel my strains are sativa im yet to find out what kind they are though, iv bein budding them since wednesday now there showing some sex pistols but no buds are showing as it is early days ! the fluro`s seem to be working nice and well il keep u updated

p.s anyone know where to get a cheap digi cam ???

Listen man, floros have a maximum effective range of 10". Period. Sativa's grow huge and they take a very long time to get there. You have to have a strain that will stay short and even then you will need to flower it at about 4" to keep it under 10" and even then you will need to train the plants by tying down the tops. I would suggest kgb x burmese, which is a mostly sativa plant which has an indica growth pattern but produces a sativa high. I"m still smoking some from my last harvest and it's about the best UP high I've ever smoked and I'm 40.

thanks for the advice all,,, every little bit counts there is so many contradictions in the articles that you read nothing beats 1st hand know how, saying that it can still be very much a case of hit and miss

Thanks Pirate, kgb & burmese noted. I know I wouldn't have much joy with a pure sativa, but as almost everything's a hybrid these days I was hoping one of the seed farms might have made a short one already. I was thinking of experimenting with a vertical cage, 1/3 open, and just let it hit the ceiling, 'bout 8ft. Only minimal yield required, it's just for me and the fluoros cost f**k all to run.

Happy hunting.

Here's a pic of that kgbxbumese at 10" and 1 month old. Ended up at 30". I'll see if I can locate that plant at harvest. She was sweet. Took about 9 1/2 weeks to flower the top of the plant then I chopped the top and lowered the lights to finish the lower half for another 1 1/2 weeks.
