Low height sativas

I'm thinking about growing a sativa dominant plant (something like 80/20) But the space I'll grow in is very limited 1.75-2 feet max(plant height) , so could someone advise me some low height sativas?
P.S. I'll probably use LST method on it also

Grow out your mother in soil and take cutting for clones, put them in flower as soon as they root. 36 hours darkness on flower onset. Use a high K full spectrum MH bulb for the first 3 or 4 weeks of flower to minimize stretch (Horticulture Daylight ~ 5200K; Sunmaster Warm Deluxe - 3200K).

When you say 2' does that include pot height? I don't think you could grow an autoflowering AK with that height, clones are your only hope.

No, just the plant itself. Then I guess I'll have to go with indica, I don't have the proper space for a mother plant, because I'll grow only 3-4 plants

Unix do a "sideways" grow with your plant stems parallel to the floor. With a short branched sativa the buds will grow vertical and you'll get your height with a lot of strains. I grew 12 sativas - 6' to 8' in a 3 1/2' high room. You could even set up a screen to wind the stem and branches through.

Or clone budsickles. I think budsickles would be simpler.

"I don't have the proper space for a mother plant, because I'll grow only 3-4 plants."

You can keep a mother in a 8" pot, and keep it fairly small until you want clones. So long as you give it 18 hours of some kind of light you can keep it anywhere (secure) in the house .

I have 10 mothers in an RDWC unit (18" x 12"), I feed them for a week every month then when they start to grow I change to clear COLD tap water (I keep them in a cold room). It slows the grow, almost like a stasis, and when you want clippings just give them some food.

You can get around most problems with the help of a good :joint: .

Super Silver Haze grown 12/12 from seed or Arjan's Haze #2 also 12/12 from seed. Both great plants. I honestly think that Arjan's Haze #2 had a Super Silver Haze mother. They taste the same, look kinda the same, smell the same... Arjan's Haze #2 may be a little more indica.

SSH can be grown 12/12 from seed? I would like to try that...What's the height of it? Both of them look pretty tall...

I'd like to correct something that I said. It's Arjan's Ultra Haze #2 that'll stay small.

Regarding the SSH, I'd have some 3 feet prepared for the girl just in case she'll want to get tall.

I just talked this thru with a fellow pot head and grower that tried this (sativas 12/12 from seed). Apparently you should try a sativa strain that is stabilized, of an F1 generation, so neither SSH or AUH#2 will be the perfect pick. Even so, he says, you could have some bad luck and grow a sativa that just wants to grow like crazy. He's tried this many times. The best solution, says my dude, is to prune your plant is such a way as to keep her from gaining height, but grow nice and bushy. I'm not sure on the pruning part because we were already stoned at this point in the conversation.

What about white widow? As far as i know it's 50/50 That would be good also, and they look pretty small...as I said I'll use LST, I'm a beginner at this so I won't get into pruning yet.

If you're gonna go with White Widow, may I recommend you get the old strain, the one they have at Mr. Nice Seeds (they call it Black Widow) and has the original genetics. The newer White Widow marketed by Green House Seeds is more indica.

White Widow would be a really good choice for the space you have.

I finished up a Kali mist kept it in a smaller pot and it grew to a little bit over 2 feet. got almost 2 ozs off of it (topped). I do think I had rootbound problems toward the end but still smoked great. You can always tie the top down a bit.
