Hi Grow Gurus (or anyone happens to have an opinion )
My question: Why buy a dwarf strain when you can shorten vegetative stage?
A friend bought Crop King Seeds' "Dwarf Low Flyer" seeds because he wanted to experiment with growing just a small plant on his deck. It worked well for him--I remember him showing me the jars of buds from just one plant--so I got the same strain and had very good luck with it as well.
But I have seen people who have just started a normal size strain at 12/12 lighting or who have gone to 12/12 after only a week or two of vegetative growth and also gotten plants that are small enough not to draw attention or grow too big for a small pot on the deck.
So now I'm wondering, why not just get a full size strain and give it a short veg cycle instead of getting a dwarf?
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
