When to Flower Short Plant

[420elf13]

I was wondering when I should start flowering these. I don't have much room to grow in my setup, so when is the best time to start flowering to keep them short. Thanks

When your internodes start coming out at alternating points on the stem...that's when she tells you that she is ready and mature enough to produce her fruits!!

So basically when the stems stop matching? Sorry for the newb question

if you have a small space....12/12 from seed works, and also LST (low stress training)

So I can switch to 12/12 anytime and I will be safe? Also, is LST necessary, and what's the easiest way to go about it

yes you can switch to 12/12 now if you wanted but ur not gonna get a great big yield from them cuz they will be small

So how much longer should I let them veg to get a good yield but still stay within my height constraints?

how tall it your box?

how tall it your box?

8" from pots to lights

if you only have 8 inches......do LST, and bonzai it, meaning - see picture - or 12/12 i left a small plant in with my big plant on 12/12, its only like 5 inches, but its bushy as hell, and had it been a female would have been a nice bud

If I do LST, do I still switch to 12/12, or do I stay on 18/6? Which will be more effective, switching to 12/12 or doing LST? What is the reason behind LST? Thanks

 

[jollytime]

did you mean 18 inches?

 

[plugsmustard]

space conservation....multiple stalks.....its fucking awesome

LST is a good suggestion, but without a scrog approach with 12/12 almost from seed, 8'' is impossibly small. I would suggest scrog and 12/12 very early for this, its not possible to wait for maturity in veg with such a small space.

What exactly is scrog, I mean, I know its screen of green, but what does it mean, and how would I go about it?

I am not a scrog expert, but there is a great scrog page on grasscity forums. I won't link it because its external, but you can google how to scrog. Basically you weave the plant outwards along in a horizontal square net, the screen. As the side branches grow, you weave those too, and fill up the screen.

Read a grow guide, dude.
