Noob question about sativas

I like to smoke it, so I would like to grow some. I've heard that they all grow like 20 feet tall and are hard to grow indoors. What are some good sativa dominant strains that maybe don't grow as tall and can be grown in a 3'x3'x6' tent? My indica dominant plants I've grown I've managed to keep at around 3 feet tall, which is about the perfect size for my setup.

I grow Sativa in the same size tent, I train w LST, and bind w wires to pull plant down and apart.
It is a great Bagseed, it is finished flowering in 9 weeks, and it gives me nice weight.

I start at the 5 node and FM, I pull the plant down and then FM the strong vertical shoots, I continue the process topping anything that will mess up my level canopy.

Right now in my flowering tent I have 3 clones that are about 1.5 feet tall all pulled down.
I have them in one container w each plant placed w the branches fanning away from the center of the container.
I will venture a guess of 4 dry Zips from these 3 plants.

I have grown this Bagseed and cloned it multiple times to grow and flower one plant at a time all year long.

My largest plant gave me 10 ounces dry!


(I usually flower one at a time after a 60 day with my longest being 7 months in veg)

( I make a bunch of clones and then flower one at a time so each round my veg gets 9 weeks older and then I pull another one and leave the others to continue to grow while being LSTed and pulled down and apart.)

You can see my journal of past grows in the link below.
Bless and Happy Growing!

I've done a few grows, but my grows have pretty much been indica dominant strains. Tried a few good sativas recently out in Colorado, and now I want some of my own!

image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg The really cool thing was the major advancement I had was in dry and cure.

My home is 45%RH, so my buds dried to fast and even though it was strong weed it was harsh my first 4 batches.

On the 5th batch I hung my buds for 2 days instead of 4-5.

End of the 2nd day I filled about 18 jars halfway in 24ounce mason jars.
The lids were left off in a small cabinet for 24 hours, then covered for a few hours and opened again.
The burping was 3 times a day (3 1 hour closed periods) the rest of the time the jars were opened.
I did that for a few days, I felt the buds in each jar.
Each jar was finished drying completely with no mold in a total of 5 days.

Then I went on to the closed jars burped every 2 days for An hour for a week.
That was it, dry Cured and SMOOTH, you can take big rips and it has no hack.

I was growing good weed now I am growing great weed!

I Changed my watering habits in my flower tent and my plants in flower seem to be responding very well.

2 gal w food, wait two days, 1 gal PH correct water wait one day 2gal w food.
I am just passed week two and these plants seem the most vibrant and healthy I have grown.

I grow Hempy, drain to waste in rock wool surrounded by expanded clay pellets.
400 watt HPS w 2. 95 watt T5 side fixtures.
Pix!

I included a few shots of an Indica in my veg, I flowered it for two weeks and it looked awful, now two weeks back in my veg it is completely rebounded.
Bless,

I have 4 10 gallon rubbermaid containers plumbed together in an E n B DIY setup for my Veg.
The tubs gravity drain via tubing to a 16 gal resevoir.

Train for the strain... Im running C99 sativa dominant in a pheno hunt. Its a pain in the ass..
Short veg times, from clone is what Im gonna do next time. I really underestimated stretch on these girls. And yes Im running a screen.

Now I wish there was a safe PGR to use on cannabis.

What I'm gonna try to do is swap HPS for MH to try to stop the stretch.

Just some thoughts on height control.

Ace Seeds Bangi Haze should fit your needs and I use supercropping for control. I had an Ace Seeds Malawi that was 3 ft. in diameter but I kept it about 1.5 ft.tall
