Not sure if this is considered "advanced" but here it goes. I am an outside grower with very limited indoor capacities.I have 3 different strains,DP Durban Poison,BF LSD, and a bag seed. All were started under T8's@18hrs then moved ouside mid-may(13 hrs light?) and showed sex immedeatly,then reverted back to veg. I have some spindly undergrowth on these plants that Im going to trim in the next week or so before they start flowering.
What Im thinking is try to clone what I trim(only cloned once to see if I could),and keep 1 clone(maybe 2 just incase) of each under the T8's for the winter. Id like to keep them in smaller pots-no bigger than say 1/2 gal.Im thinking heavy pruning/topping and possibly even root pruning will be needed. My goal would be to have small(8"-10" tall MAX) but stout plants with a strong root system to start out next years grow.Ive read about bonsai plants and thats kinda what Im going to try. Any tips,tricks or suggestion are appreciated.
I did this last year with tomatoes and peppers and it worked great,got a huge head start with those compared to what started from seed.
So:
3 different strains,DP Durban Poison,BF LSD, and a bag seed
1 4ft 4 bulb T8 with 2 5600k and 2 6000k bulbs,light hrs? 14/10? just to keep from flowering?
Room is a 4 season porch kept @ 60-65F all winter
Small pots- start in 16" party cups, wait till full root mass,transfer to 4" pots, then to 1/2 gal if needed
