Hey all!
This is my first time on the thread and I hope to get a lot out of it! My current situation is i built a stealth growbox that is about 2 ft tall and 1.5 ft wide. I have intake and exhaust fans built in and 4x 26 watt cfl bulbs and it is lined completely with reflective material. My question is, i have three strains of seeds currently, jack herer, super lemon haze, and a 7 dwarf strain autoflowering strain called cyclops. Is there any technique scrog, lst or something i havent heard of, in which i could grow the jack or the lemon haze in such a small space and still get a decent yeild. any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

u can only lst the plants but u have to remember when u start flowering they can triple in size i hope ur not growing the auto with the other strains because u need 18/6 for a good yeild from the auto and can take up to 60 or more days and while this is flowering the others will be in veg i had the same problem with my first grow also and ended up scrapping the two not autos because they were just too big my advise is to put some mesh as high as in can go so the plants will not grow to tall and get burned from the lights

yeah i am just growing one strain. it is just a matter of which to choose. i heard jack is some of the best around and really wanted to try it. i just cant picture lst-ing 5 feet of plant. or even how to go about doing it. (in a small box like this) if it helps any i just took some pics of my setup here it is. i have about 10 inches between the top of my pot and the top of the box. (the top can come off however) also would it be possible to go with a larger diamter pot say 1.5 ft and take off the height a little bit? or do roots not like growing wide? thanks for the help

Get a smaller pot for one, shorter anyway. It can be anything, just poke holes in the bottom.

i would put a screen up and scrog it. only way really. cant lst enough really.

yea the pot is too tall for your box use thows plastic containers one to take up the majority of your boxes floor i cut plastic bins for mine but try and keep it low because when u start flowering remember it doubles
