I am about to start a small grow in my closet. My grow box is about 70 cm (27.6 in) from floor to roof. I am just wandering how much height my plants will gain once they are flowering. Is there a general percentage of height gained while flowering?

id say 70 cm height just aint enough? but it depends on power of light etc if using 600-1000w hps tips of plannt should be kept at no closer than 50cm from light

cfl's can pretty much touch the light without damaging it

I've read that sativa's stretch alot more, be looking for an indica strain under those conditions.

Maybe even some LST training. Look around for "graf"'s posts. He has had some wild looking plants. In order to get a full veg you'll probably have to tie it down and let it run horizontal for a while. WrldWdRadio has some 2. I probably spelled his name wrong.

This is my first grow so I want to try and stay away from LST if I can. Dont wanna make things too difficult for myself.
