What's up brothers, Im kinda having a space issue.I got 10 plants in veg gonna go under 1k when I flower. From floor to ceiling is 6 feet 5 inches not including the 1k. The youngest is 2 weeks and oldest is 4 weeks, What way should I crop them to keep the radius of each plant and height down within my range? Thanks

For the sativa strains you can do LST, and for the indicas do not do any cropping at all, just let them be a huge single cola. That would max your yield, cause you are tailoring your grow to each strain. Sativas love LST. Indicas are great without LST. In other words, just LST enough plants so it fills up your space. Hope that makes sense.... Are you taking clones for your next run?

To keep the plants height down, you need to flower them before they get tooo big in veg. Once you flip them, they are gonna stretch like crazy for the first 2/3 weeks. So you can flip them now if you want to. Take clones :) There is no right answer to this question, just consider all the opinions and decide. What r the dimensions of the room?

I wou and like to like to clone 1 of my babies if it's a female, or keep the pollen if it's a male. I'm willing to pollinate my whole grow just to keep the pollen of my cherry o.g. started showing trichs at 3 weeks now it's in week 4 and shows even more. Diabolic I don't want to have to kill 6 plants. Indont have anyone to give them to either.

It's a bedroom, hardwood floors with kind of a top half of a rectangle ceiling that's 6 1/2 feet. I'd say the room is an 11x11 or 12x12 , 6 1/2 high ceiling. The slants start at about 3 1/2 feet in from 2 walls

I need to keep em small and skinny but still at least yield something decent. I would go terminal if height wouldn't of been an issue. Since I can't put the hos too high due to the 6 1/2ft ceiling I gotta fit as many asbo can with the light at a height of roughly 5 1/2 feet

I would run a bare bulb vertical "donut" in 3gal coco smartpots in a 5x5 space with some basic training via anchoring to a screen around the perimeter -- and be downright disappointed if I only yielded 2lbs on the first run. With a monocrop of a nice, leggy strain that you know well from clone? You're looking at 3+ easily...all you need is proper ventilation and you're golden.

You can heavily supercrop the taller plants to limit the stretch a bit in conjunction with plenty of bending, twisting, and tying -- get your hands dirty, if you dive in head first your plants will tell you what you need. Not on that hippie shit, but on the "observe what needs to be done and figure out how to do it" front.
