Hello all and nice to meet everyone. I have researched quite a bit about Sativas, so I have decided to grow Aces Malawi and Cannabiogens Panama. Was hoping to get Aces Panama but have heard great things about Cannas Panama. I plan on running 3 different Panamas until they show their true phenos as I am crossing my fingers for red pistils. I may grow a green pheno along with the red if the chance presents itself.
My setup is a 5x5x7 tent(have two but one's for my Incredible Bulks) for growth area. Plan to run a single 400w MH/HPS system with a single 180w LED light above each plant(2 total, one on each side of the 400w system). Also plan on having LED side lighting on each side of the tent, 25w per wall for 100w total. I always grow Scrog for max yield, I don't mind the wait. I run Advanced Nutrients and a nice line up of theirs. 1500 PPM CO2 always.
I would defiantly appreciate some grow tips on these two as I do have some questions of my own.
1st) I normally use 5 gallon smart pots for growing, should I increase the size?. I heard once in flowering the roots should not be restricted in order to maximize yield. What's your opinion?
2nd) At what distance should the lights be for Vegging/Flowering? I heard keeping the lights 1m from the top is best for Sativa growth. What's your opinion?
3rd) If I should indeed keep the lights 1m from the tops at what height or how long should I veg them for in 18/6 to keep them a manageable height? If 1m isn't correct please convert it for me as the distance may be different.
4th) Do Panama and Malawi grow around the same height? In terms of the growth cycle and final height. I know Sativas get big which is up to the grower to control.
5th) Since the Panama will finish first and the Malawi will still grow for 4-6 weeks, how much of that 2x2x5 empty area can I fill within that time?
6th) Other growers recommend atleast 1000w HPS in order to bring out the most of the trippy trait. How does 400w HPS and 460w LED compare to 1000w of pure HPS? Thinking I am right on par but I'd rather know for sure. What's your opinion?
7th) Nutrients schedule: Advanced Nutrients Big Bud and Overdrive. If my plant flowers for 8 weeks longer than a Indica would I give Big Bud for 4 extra weeks and Overdrive for 2 extra weeks? If not, how should I go about my feeding schedule? I still haven't been able to find a diffident answer to this.
If there is anything else I should be filled in with, please let me know. I really appreciate the tips and help. Be safe and live life everyone.
