Looking for a short, stocky and potent strain

[fwesH]

Hi everyone

The height of my grow area is 2ft 4ins, so unfortunately I can only pick from the shorter strains out there.

This is my first grow so I'll need a tough plant, when reading through journals I noticed that a lot of people consider SLH to be resilient - I thought it could be the perfect plant for the first grow until I found out it can reach over 2ft.

So what are the short growing, potent and resilient strains out there?

I've also read that I can manipulate the height of a plants by shining light on the side of it, can anyone give details on this?

Thanks everyone, great forum!

Hi you can tie it over, lst style.

Thanks for that. Can I basically grow a plant as short as I need it indoors?

Do I even need to worry about height when choosing a strain?

You can keep them under 14 inches.
I've grown from seed in 16 oz. plastic beer cups.
I have had 9 small plants and avg. yield was 1/3 of a oz.
No plant was over 1 ft. tall.

Do I even need to worry about height when choosing a strain?

Yes you do, try something cheap.
Like Nirvana Ice, Chrystal, Northern Lights, or Aurora Indica.
