I have at best 16in. of vertical grow space and im about to order some seeds, obviously im going with a autoflower strain but i just want to make sure i get the right kind. Most seed banks dont have an exact description of how tall a plant can get, so im asking you guys. Thanks in advance
P.S. maybe you can also recomend a seed bank, im going with Nirvana or Attitude.

I like attitude myself... I am not all that experienced with auto's but from what I gather they all finish around the same time. They probably won't grow over 1 meter(39 inches) i dont know if 16 would be enough.

Im a new grower, i guess i should have added that im growing in a hydroponic box, so does it make a difference that im not using soil?

Soil is more forgiving but harder to flush (less drainage).

You usiing an all water hydro system or coco?

I'm sure lowryder 2 would be ideal, anyone else think so?

First grow I would try soil, but then again you could nail it in hydro. Do you have a ph pen etc?

i've looked into possibly getting that or just the original low ryder, but i was just trying to get some feedback 1st. Im trying the hydrobox method because 1st of it's really stealthy, but it's also supposed to be really easy for new growers. I already have some plants growing but they've pretty much outgrown my box. These were just some random seeds i tried out because that was my 1st time trying it out. But now that i pretty much have the technique down i just wanted to make sure i get the proper seeds for my next batch.

Try some afghan kush ryder from world of seeds. Use 2 gallon pots or maybe a little smaller and they will stay short and bushy if properly lit. Im using 2 gallon pots and most are right around the 16" range and theyre close to finished. Nice and chunky but short.

Im growing a snowryder from short stuff. I ordered it from the single seed centre. Only supposed to grow to a height of 10 10 15 inches. Right now Im about 3 weeks away from harvest. She's only 8" tall and she is flowering like crazy. Plus they are a forgiving strain.
 
hi mate i planted two lowryder #2's one was harvested at 17" the other still isnt finished yet and shes 30" now, so i dont think you can guarantee a short height you have to plan in advance you dont want to get two months down the line and have your main cola pushing up against your bulb.

16" isn't much. Figure even if you used 4" for your light, 4" for your pot, and 4" space between the light of the plant, that really only gives you 4" of actually grow space.

yeah i thought that .... my Green O'matics we're 19.5" from soil to the top tip ..... and those are some pretty short plants
 
Attitude all the way bro! Three successful orders! I'm growing Critical Jack, Afgan Kush Ryder, and Pakistan Ryder. The ryders are both at 9 inches, 44 days in. You would definitely be satisfied with the tude. Sub'd.
