Hi, this is my first attempt at it, and they are looking healthy :) justs wondering what is the potential yield on her? Just got preflowers and put into flowering just two days ago. Been LSTing her since her fifth node! Also, i have a height restriction. She's about 5 inches tall right now, what is the possibility she outgrows my maximum height of 16 inches? thanks!

Looking nice and healthy, I think you'll be good on the space they usually stretch 2-3 times their original height switching to flower. The yield depends on too much for me to guess lol

Thanks! that's good to hear. Any tips on how to minimize stretching? i heard placing lights on the sides limits it. also, any idea about how much it will yield? Heres a better pic to get a better idea of the size . also when should i begin adding nutes? lol sorry for all these questions, always ended with a male ;P

Thers no way to estimate the weight ther are way too many factors that come into play nutrients,pot size,lights,etc
more or less its about a gram per watt/actuall watts
to prevent more stretching
u can LST,SuperCrop,Top, ther are lots of techniques u can use during veg
also have ur cfls as close to plant as possible
i start feeding about a month in
but i use FFOF
wat kind of soil r u using

Thanks for the reply :) , I have 4 26W 2700K and 2 23W 6500k cfl lights, so a total of 150W about 2 inches away. I'm using MG moisture control. I know people say not to use it because of the time released nutes and stuff, but they seem to be loving it. I used very little veg nutes and they were always really dark green!

Ok r u Flowering or vegging
Sounds like your light spectrum is closer to flowering
what ur light cycle?
Ive never used MG but diffrent strokes for diffrent folks i guess
the plant will tell u wen to start feeding
how long as she been in MG

I just switched her over to flowering two days ago. I first began the light cycle 24/0 the first week, the next 2-4 weeks i had it on 18/6 and two days ago to 12/12. I did notice it stretched about an inch since switching over to 12/12. I suppose the supercrop/topping cannot be done during flower correct?

Topping during flower NO
but u can LST or scrog dude
if u want to supercrop
u can as ur last resort
it might just slow the process down a bit.
do u have a pic of ur grow area

Dont stop it from stretching, just train it as it stretches. Tie down stems and what not to maximize light distribution. I wouldnt worry about 16in tall but more about your light being close enuf. 5in tall now, prolly wont get to the 16in limit, but i would still tie down branches cos ur using CFLs.

You CAN supercrop in flower......I do it to some strains at the end of stretch and I get no slowdown at all.
