7 sativa clones, indoors, your suggestions?

I have 7 sativa clones from 3 different females.

They have been vegging for around 2 weeks and are between 10 to 25cm tall.

Flowering area is 1.2x1.2 meter floor space and 400watt HPS.

I have already topped one (7 days ago).

What should I do with the rest?
Basically playing around to try different approaches for the hell of it.
Not to worried about a uniform canopy (I can keep it reasonably even by putting bricks or whatever under pots).

Well id fire one in there now to start. Shell be the first tester. Then get crazy, check the mainlining thread. Thats a fun time. Maybe you could try and train one on a vertical scrog. Whatever you do, make sure you save me a doobie :):):)

So many different ways I could answer this.. first question - what strain of sativa? Is it 100% pure sativa that can be proven? That will make the difference given its ability to grow vertically insane amounts based on conditions.

I was going to make a mini-SOG recommendation, but since he's not worried about uniform canopy.. that'd definitely produce an issue given the space vs lighting.. I felt, anyway.

I wouldnt mess with them personally, id go sog style as well. Fek fun, get money. Unless hes got lots like me, then have fun. Go plant one outside at your uncles farm in yonkers after you veg it for three months. I think i scared him off or sumthin...oops :(

I have no idea (bagseed I planted ages ago, the 3 adults are now in various stages of flowering) but due to my location I would imagine it's Malawi or Swazi (possibly DP), kept the pips because the bud was outstanding.
Currently heights (including the 25l pots) range between 1.5 to 2 meters.
Some oldish pictures:

This girl has made the shortest clones with little space between the stems and nodes. I have 3 of her clones.


This monster is now just under 2 meters (even with all my training, also note she got some serious damage during veg and I have no idea what did it). 2 clones

about half way up the main stem.


Finally 2 clones

Did you repair that main stem damage with toothpicks and grafting tape or something else so it didn't cut off potential flower of water/nutes or at least part of it?

I currently have 3 plants in full flower in my grow room already, don't want to SOG as I plan to do a perpetual grow.

Mainline, top (which you have done), and supercrop.

Think I will do just this :)

LOL, I plan on growing some indicas as well soon (have 18 seeds, need to plant them) but I like my Sativa.
No need for my uncles farm, to bloody far away anyway, I have my own private area in my 65x45meter yard but don't want to do any more outdoor after this, makes me paranoid.

It happened about mid summer (for us anyway) and I was away for a few days at the time so by the time I got back it had dried out a bit already.
I used a cable tie and just put it back into position then moved the cable tie from time to time till it was strong enough to hold itself up.
Does not seem to have affected growth at all. 4 days after taking clones there were 4 new shoots coming off the cut areas :) They are now about 25cm long and all have buds on the ends so it was also perfect timing. It worries me a bit though, getting way to tall and I may have to bend her new shoots down again. I only have a safe height of around 2.4 meters before they will start peeking over the wall.

Good good, you're lucky it didn't decide to bite it, looking pretty solid so far :D

lol, on a side note I took another 11 clones 10 days ago.
Most are starting to root now (DIY bubble cloner) which is why these plants need to be moved into the next phase.

Yup, would highly recommend it and can see why something needs done asap.

I think I can honestly thank the liquid nutes I was using at the time (Nitrosol) for the plants being so robust.

It's possible, just make sure you don't over-do it... if memory serves the Nitrosol is 8-3-6 and can lead to a shortage/lack of phosphorus with N and K doing decent - not that I'd expect this to be an issue, just figured I'd mention in passing incase you start to see deficiency issues in the phosphorus area.

Yea, I added some organic 2:3:2 and bonemeal to compensate :)
I also use 5ml to 2l water (instead of recommended 5ml to 1.5l water) when mixing the Nitrosol.

Will be using GHE 3 part in future.
