Hi all,
Its my first grow and i got 5 SLH seeds.
I have done my research about growing and i have some queries about SLH from green house seeds. Can anyone plz help me?

1)I have limited height (1.80cm) in my growroom. 1meter for plants and the rest 80cm for 400w hps and for soil containers.
-In which height or days should i start 12/12 from seedling, 25-30cm is ok??

2)How much "clear" space should i have for 1 or 5 plants or how many plants fit in a 2,3sqm grow room??

3)As i mentioned above my plants should not get taller than 100cm ~ 39.4 inch
-Do you think topping will help this strain to get maturer, during veg state, before i start flowering???
or
-will topping the fem plant have effect on her final height (in same days veg)?

4)-How many days from seedling,
or
-How many days before12/12 begins, should i do my final topping to the main stem? (If the plant needs 7-10 days to outreach the shock of topping?)

Thanks for taking me inτο consideration
Peace:leaf:

if u do flower them at 30 cm your taking a risk with the height, they usualy grow roughly 3 times there height when flowerd, keep the light close as possible all the time to avoid stretching

I have 3 slh under a 400 watt hps right now. They have been in flower for a week and they have doubled in size already. If you are worried about height dont top, lst them. I vegged mine for about 5-6 weeks from seed and tied them down. I now have roughly 16-20 main shoots and they are only about 14" tall...SLH gets tall the only problem I have seen is a 400 watt isnt going to penetrate enough to the bottom of the plant

Thanks for the info, i think lst is better but its my first grow and i dont wanna blow it.
I'll read and see more about lst then. u can give them the time needed to fully mature:-o
How much space do you think your 3 bushes will occupy?
16-20 shoots is awesome man, gl with your grow:clap:.

They take up about a 9sq foot area, I have 3 easy ryders that are growing along with them but they dont take up too much space. I probably would have waited for the easyryders just due to the footprint of my 400 watt hps... They seem to take well to topping, dont let me discourage you, it does stunt their growth a little bit while in my experience lst doest, they just grow into bushes...these were taken today about a week into flower...I will say this they have been heavy feeders. I am using full doses of ff liquid nutes with molassas and MOAB and they seem to be very happy

Thats the way i would like to see mine too:bigjoint:. Really nice grow man! :clap:

-Which technique(s) did u use on them?

Easy ryders needs 20/4 and slh flowering 12/12 right?
-In which photoperiod are you on pic 3, autoflowering + slh strain together??

I Use Biobizz products and i've heard good words about molassas at final stages.
-I'm new, can u tell me what MOAB is?

MOAB= Mother of all Blooms. Its the same type of product as kool bloom...For me basically it speeds up the switch to flower from veg.... As far as techniques, I started with lst on them from the time they were about a week old. All I did was tie down the top and then as the side branches reach up tie them down too.... Alot of people use biobizz, I personally have never used it. For nutes just make sure you use what works for you. The easy ryders get moved every day...it sucks. I dont recomend doing this....My brother got the seeds from attitude and his wife freaked so I told him I would throw them in with mine...But basically they go from my veg room to flower every morning and every evening when I get home they go back...Hps just does a better job for flower then the mh....The pic before is a little over a week in 12/12

-Nice, i didnt know that kind of product:-o

-Everythink i learn for lst is just great, lately i read about FIM. THe best of it, i think, is that creates more "main" branches to enduce bushiness. What Do you think about FIM in my case?

-Tough situation with his wife. :-P
Always there to take care the family:clap: :-P

I'll use lst for sure. thanks a lot
Peace:leaf:
