I'm pretty sure the average height is 12-16 inches. Or no more than 16 inches max. The grow box is 27 inches tall, theres a bunch of room hehe :))

I am all for learning new things about growing btw :p

Oh nice. yeah I'm excited to see the growth on both of ours I read about. mg soil it does burn plants. luckily all the nutrients in the soil should be dummeddown by now after this long I for sure won't use it again after this ha. what are you using?

Do you plan on trying lst? It's just something to think about since it's in a case. But since it's a lowrider it's just an alternative option.

That's quite a big case! I'm sure you won't have any problems with her size in that box. About the soil, you can add some more soil to that pot when she gets bigger if you want, she'll use it for sure ;)

Good luck with the grow.

I probably won't lst this one since it's my first grow and there would be no need to hehe. Maybe next grow when i feel more comfortable to try new things.

Thanks for stopping by, I'll probably add a little bit more in a week or two once she starts to get a little taller :D

More pictures in a couple hours!!

Well the good thing about lst is that it's pretty damn easy. You really just need to read about it for an hour and you will feel very comfortable with the method. You just have to have a gentle touch and clothes hangers.

Day 3: ALSO, just a little note, these pictures are being taken every day pretty much at the begining of the day, so they still have ALL day to grow. Tell me what you think :) Lucy's doing good!

Also, i watered her again today before i took the pictures, soil felt kind of dry. Now i dont water till 2 or 3 more days right?

Does it give me a better yield or does it just stay shorter?
both if you know what your doing, the object is to get the bud branches more light by training the fan leaves & such out of the way, im on my second grow & first successful flower, i didnt notice how much the 2700k bulbs would stretch them till it was a lil too late..lol jus frm experience, try to use more 6500k bulbs in veg first, it'll keep the nodes tighter, you dnt want a tall ass plant with popcorn nugs..especially if you are using clfs. some lst, maybe even a top & ull get a big bushy plant with lots of nodes & more than 1 cola..

no doubt bro, lol, yeah def not now tho, id say..wait till at least it gets to 3-4 nodes maybe like, the second week depending on how it looks, somebody might disagree with me, lol but really just when you feel its strong enough to withstand slight bends, if you do decide to lst, do it in durring "veg" or whenever its not flowering thts the best time to do any type of training, long as ur making sure those nodes & sites get light & you got enough of them you cant go wrong..ive seen cfls do some pretty good shit with the right training

You won't regret it. It's pretty hard to ruin your plants if you try it. But do what makes you comfortable of course!
