    Default Need Help keeping plant small.

    Hey RIU i have asked this question to other forums but they were all shit and gave me absolutely no answers.
    and i have read post here and it looks like a really good place so here goes

    I have a problem i have a really really small grow area i dont even know if it is possible to grow in there but it is all i have i have no where else to do it. so i need some help from you guys.
    my grow box is 2 1/4' (70cm) tall and 2 1/4' (70cm) wide and 2' (60cm) in depth . that needs to fit my light and the pot. of 1-2 plants.
    The strain of weed is called LSD its a indica dominant plant, so it will be smaller then some other sativa strains. But is there any way to keep it in the space and still get a bit a grade to smoke. i dont need it to be really great yield but just some to smoke, its more of a trial thing.
    For instance, would putting it straight from seed into 12/12 flowering light work, also i know about LST FIM and topping and i will use them but can you use more then one on a single plant. eg FIM and then LST later or LST first then topping.
    any help would be much appreciated.
    cheers

    Hmmm...well it is harder to grow in a tiny area...but if you get reg seeds you can start doing 12/12 from seed, that way you have small plants in small pots that don't get too terribly tall and yield around an oz a piece...there are more than a few people on here that can't get that much off of a much larger plant...I did my first 12/12 from clone and I am blown away by the results...I want to figure out a way to just keep the mom plants in veg and then 12/12 the clones...one clone a week...perhaps...anyway...any strain grown on 12/12 from seed will remain small and what not...so something to think about...
    I apologize for my incessant rambling, but if you are patient there is inner hidden wisdom in most of my posts...Like playing literary "Where's Waldo."--------------- See, it's fun!

    You can use any combination of plant training, just don't do too much at once. You can top and LST, no problem.

    As for going straight into 12/12, I think most would recommend not topping in this case. You might get away with some light LST, but the plant might be too small to even bother with before it starts flowering. Most training should be done in veg so the stress will not effect bloom performance.

    I think you can scrog anytime however, I'll let others weigh in on that one.

    Sorry, not to hijack this thread but, your mailbox is always full so, I can never inquiry that way, lol.

    But, missnu, what did you flower in? container size. Have you harvested yet, if so, what kinda weight you get?


    Now, OP, that's a fairly small space. Does the 2.25' exclude or include space for your light? What kind of lighting are you gonna use? With that said, 12/12 from seed may be your best bet, with some good ol' LST or maybe a SCROG.

    my biggest problems with micro grows was not the size, but the HEAT.

    You can LST, Supercrop, Top, Fimm, all you want and at the same time, but it's unnessary. Pick one and roll with just that. In your case, I would LST that girl. Judging by your space, i'm thinking you would get the best control and yield from that.

    Straight from seed to flower, huh? Never crossed my mind, but that sounds like a big waste of resources to me. Veg that girl for a couple of weeks if you really want to flower small. If time is not an issue, veg longer and LST. My .02

    For an idea of what you can do with scrog in small spaces, check this out: https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=118952

    Totally. .
    It works like a vaporizer. We'll get stoned through the vents on the way there.
