Height management with 55 cm only.

[Pooshec]

Hi All,

I need some advice please on choosing strain/grow tech for small operation (90 cm x 60 cm area with 150 W HPS). The main thing is to end up with fully matured plants at max 21 inch (53 cm) height.

Other conditions are as follows :

- feminized, photoperiod strain (no autos please)
- pure indica or mostly indica
- responding well to topping of main grow tip
- cloned easily
- medicinally appropriate for chronic insomnia and stress
- yield is not of primary concern

As for strain choice I keep my eye on Black Domina and Northern Lights at the moment. As for grow tech I am not sure what will be better to effectively control the height - switch to flower early or top early (allowing one week more of veg for recovery) or both ? I see that Indicas flower stretch is roughly 50 % gain in height from the moment of induction. I guess switching to flower at say 10 inch (25 cm) shall be safe then ?

Many thanks for input.

I am too new to have any advice, but it surprises me other people aren't falling over themselves to talk up their favorite strains

HSO Purple Trainwreck meets most of those criteria.

They are Fem seeds. They seem to often be sold in 3 packs ... I would get maybe 2 or 3 3 packs, so that you get a chance to see what variety of phenotypes are available with Purp. TW.

The medical 'fit' to your own body etc. ... TBD.


I think Romberry fits the medicinal criteria better. from Freedom of Seeds.
