well depends on how much space you've got left as the plants will damn sure stretch like hell in the first 3-4 weeks of flower... I'd say about 50cm atleast height

hi jahjah, about space:
post no#21 , pic 6,7 show everything about space in grow-closet, i d say that i have more than 1m, about 1.5m actually from the top of plants untill the highest point that the lamp can be positioned...

so what do u guys think???
how much vertical space( in cm plz) should there be between the net of the scrog and the lamp when i start 12/12?

the 1st preflowers grew but the newcoming hairs came out dry-dead, is that normal because of 24/0???

Man these plants arte compact! But they are looking great! Well I ushally keep my lamp about 22" from the top of the plants. With my HPS, it all depends on temps in my opinion, If the plants can handle it closer due to it being cool, then do it closer, should really play it by ear.

The branching on them looks amazing and I think they are doing great.

Im not to sure about the hairs as I dont have enough under my belts to really have a solid idea on it. But love to hear from someone else experienced.

well, I dont know if your going to top em or just leave like that?

If you will top em you'll be damn sure they will fill up the space there, I'd say either cut em now or put them to flower, because theyr really gonna strech when you change the lights to 12/12

ok then, lets say i veg(24/0) for 10more days (untill i have like 15nodes or more:) and then top em, veg for another 10 and then 12/12.(i am a greedy greek motherfucker :D
u would may thought that with this way i may gonna run out of space, so thank god for the scrog method :DDDD (i fitted 7 grapefruits in this closet once u know!)

jah jah plz could u tell me the ABSOLUT! minimum u think in grams(in ur opinion) i WILL get per plant considering that i ll flower for 2 full months -proplably keep em in great health and use a ferti12/48/8 that i already have.
( u know since starting i used a 20/20/20ferti only once :)))))))))))))

the temps will be better as time passes because of the winter coming :) i dont use a heater in my room, just a big hot lamp ! :D

SP PLZ and ANYBODY else WITH THE SCHEDULE THAT I SAID PLZZZ MAKE A MINIMUM ESTIMATE PER PLANT IN 3 MONTHS FROM NOW???
COME ON PEOPLE I KNOW THAT THERE R GROWERS HERE THAT CAN TELL ME THAT!
ur answers will decide the future of em!

also somebody plz answer the q about the hairs...

I'm used to Sativas, which tend to get tall anyway, but I think you should plan on the plants being at least twice the height flowering as when you are done vegging.

You've got some nice, tight plants GG. Good luck -- Alex. :canabis:

I wouldn't trim them. When you harvest the top buds, be very careful. Put the plant back in under 12/12, begin feeding again and those bottom nugs will 2x - 3x in size....

I also have serious height restrictions. I bend, crack, pinch and tie the stretching buds down. Eventually you will end up with what looks like a SCROG without the screen. Just be careful when bending or pinching. There are threads here on ICMAG as well as OG that explain "stress training" in more detail.

ok guys -both gunns and alex u r the 1st guys here telling me smth that i didnt knew since starting this thread - THX A LOT! -for real mr.gunns i ve never heard that about in my life and its so logical!

for this! i am going to get pics of the ladies today!

not that i wasnt going to anyway :D ...MUAhihihihi...

ps:i got some superfluid yesterday... its supposed NOT to be a fertilizer, -its made of 35%pure "humus" juice- the other 35% is pure aminoacids -and many more good stuff
-but very important its 100%organic-it mixes with water perfectly and itsd supposed not to be toxic for the plant in any way-dose... i put 5ml in a 500ml bottle and when i filled it up all with water the mix was black!!!! like black paint! u couldnt see light passing through it at all!

its supposed to make the plant work much better -stregthening -increasing its root system-and making the nutrients in the dirt "more" suitable for "digesting" if smth can do all this and be organic I LOVE IT! (it sais sthat u can mix it with ur ferti...)

i ll get pics of that o also later... :)

thx again

Keep in mind that you can train the outer buds to grow along the walls. The inner ones in my little "torture chamber" are all intertwined and looks like I have been trying to weave them....

My box is 30"deep X 42"wide X 46 tall. I use a 150HPS with a couple of 24" cool floro tubes. I can get six one quart square containers in mine.

Lookin' foward to your updates! :respect:
