Hello all, I have a question that could probably start a debate about which forum it belongs in. But i decided this is the best forum because it relates to the question, and i just finished posting in it anyway.

Okay for the question. Is there a minimum height that cannabis has to reach before flowering? Okay, for example, can i grow a plant to 3-4 inches, and then start to flower it? I know if this works it will produce a very small amount (maybe a couple of grams tops!) but I am just curious because i need to grow stealth styles, and if i can grow a bunch of VERY small plants then all the better (in my situation). I know that when pot flowers it grows a lot more, but how much? Basically, i am aiming for a plant about 6-8 inches high, that will produce as best bud as the genetics will provide. Is this possible? Sorry for the question if it's confusing. Thanx everyone, and DON'T STOP FIGHTING THIS STUPID DRUG WAR! We will, and must win it! Ryan666

Plants grown from seed should be at least 6 weeks old before beginning flowering. I guess that the height will take care of itself.
Peace, Observer

hello. thanx for the reply. i have heard that you can grow vegatative for about 2 weeks, and then start flowering from there. i guess i asked a stupid question. but if anyone else has any information to answer my question it would be appreciated. thanx

he's right! if you try to flower them before they sexually mature they wont be very good, best to wait until they are 12 in or 6 weeks old. after that have at it. If you want a bushier plant them top them off at the forth node, and they will split into two colas. keep topping and it grows out instead of tall. If you top them too much it will reduce yield, so be gentle.

Actually, I have a question that is sort of the opposite of what you told me. I live in Canada, where hemp cultivation is legal. And i want to disguise my marijuana as hemp. Obviously the feds will be able to figure out the difference, but to the untrained eye my pot will look like hemp. How would I go about growing a really long stem, with nice flowers as well on the top? Thanx. Ryan666

Are you growing outside? if so they will grow as they get light. if growing inside then raise the lights farther awaty from them and they will be taller but you wont get as many buds when they flower. stemy plants reduced your yield. hope i helped some, and I think I want to move to Canada! hehe
