hey all

 

please dont go into technicle discussion about this..

 

all i want to know is..

 

i want to grow a MJ plant, but i want to make it more of an experiment as a first time grow, and it doesnt bother me how much bud i get, because i only need it to grow about 1 1/2 ft high, at max.

 

anyway, i was wondering

 

if i used 1 150watt HPS light.. would i be able to grow the MJ plant to about 1 foot high, and then put it on a 12/12 light period, and make it bud ? but keep it at about 1 - 1/12ft high ?

 

also, what light time period should i have the plant on before 12/12 ?

yea , yea , yea

 

use your hps , yea it will grow a foot high but you will have to tip and train to keep her small . before 12/12 ...... 18/6

cheers

you could grow it with the pot on it's side and the plant trained allong the ground , this would allow you to leave maximum space for the nodes to stretch , if it was me I would go allong the principles of covereing the ground with nodes and then turning it to flower

 

planted on it's side or not though there is no need for a plant to be a foto tall in veg , just train it outwards instead of letting it shoot up towards the light

 

won't get into details as ya asked us not to but if your interested there is plenty of info and if you don't unerstand ask
