Hey all, Ive now built up the courage to try something a little more advanced than Lowryders... and no, not a Lowryder cross! Although I may try that when the crosses become a little more stabilised. Anyway, I digress.

I know that you have to veg for several weeks on 18/6 before switching to 12/12 to flower, but I really want to grow a sativa - preferably pure like a Durban Poison, but a hybrid will probably have to do for now. So, for the sake of argument a Durban Poison gets put in veg for 2 months and grows 6 feet tall. If I want it to grow shorter, I top it. This reduces height to 4 feet, which is still a little tall. So I do some LST, that enables the light to reach further down (600w HPS) and reduces height by another foot. 3 feet/1 metre is perfect!
Now, If I didnt want to mess around doing all of that, could I just veg it until its a metre tall then put it into flowering? I understand that they grow taller while flowering, but by how much? Double? Triple? And how much yield would I lose by forcing it into early flowering?
