yes. Don't listen to Lip. He's reading and repeating what he reads. No experience.
Garden Knome is one of the best growers on this forum.
a 1000 watt HId lamp penetrates 3 feet. So it is a waist to grow a plant bigger then 3 feet. And it will hit every part of the plant.
But if you do grow it bigger. You can add side lighting that will take care of it.
Noone mentioned the strain. This makes a h8uuge difference in how much it will stretch in flowering. Indica stretch the least. Sativas get about three times the size when flowered.
Jdog7000 Reviewed by Jdog7000 on . Plant Size I'm searching for an answer to the age old question, "Does size matter?" What is the ideal hight to change plants to flowering? Does it vary by plant? I have Big Bud and White Widow going... I let them get bigger than I probably should have (like 5 feet tall). Can I expect to get significantly more bud from them than I would with a smaller plant?
