so I'm working on a cab and am planning a few things out. Here are my cab details:

3' high, 1.5' wide, and 1.5' depth. my DWC container is about 1' in height, leaving me with 2' of vertical grow space. at the top of the cab is a fan, and a 150hps directly below the fan.


Now, I have been lucky enough to get some seeds of assorted strains, here is what i got:

master kush
bubblicious
durban poison
durban poison x skunk
NL 5 X haze

so, with a single DWC container, which two plants would grow well together in my conditions? Is it easy to grow two strains in one container, both getting the same nutrient treatment and flowering time? also what method will work best and how many plants should i try to go for with scrog, or try to tie it down and train the plant?

Any suggestions??

its a 150w hps i highly doubt its cool tubed, and a cooltube would be hard to fit into a 18" x 18" space seeing as an average cooltube is 18" to 22" long w/out any ducting or fans.

and to answer your question, out of those strains i would choose the NL x Haze. Northern lights is supposed to be a good plant to grow indoors and seems like it would work well in tight spaces. i would probably stay away from the durban poison seeds because if i remember correctly they are sativa's or sativa dominants which means they will be taller and lankier which would not be good given your height restrictions.

LST'ing your plants like mane2008 said would be a good idea, SrOG would be an idea as well however LST seems more appealing to me (easier to handle your plants).

good luck

I would go with the nl and be prepared for some hardcore lsting if you want to get any kind of decent yield with that little height.

you right bra scratch dat but you still cant have em too big cause flower will 2x's the hight and you could be in for sum burn. LST will really help wit da yield too.
Best of luck to ya bra.
