Miniature Sativas?

Hi,

I've read this forum quite a bit in the last month, or so, and I'm reading Garden Knowm's book about CFL growing. I'm waiting around (nervously) for my seeds to arrive, and I had a question.

I ordered an indica dominant plant, because it seems that's what most use for these types of grows, and for first time growers like myself, if I get the chance. I noticed in GK's book, he flowers his mango plant at 4.5 inches.

Could you do the same with a Sativa plant? My favorite weed in Amsterdam was Hawaaian Snow, which looks to be a giant, long grow. So maybe not that one, but I've seen the online descriptions of some "short" sativas, like G13 haze from Barney's, or Arjan's Haze #3.

So, can you grow "miniature" sativas? I'm not really concerned about yield, as I'm not an every day smoker or interested in being anything more than a hobby grower.
 
OK, maybe I shouldn't have said miniature. Just wanted to know if anyone had grown sativas indoors, with a minimal CFL setup, and were pleased with the results?
 
try low stress training. it keeps the lowest possable proflie and gets max yeild. there are tequniques in the growfaq sec
 
Sativa's in general are just tall plants but the greenhouse has bred a miniature sativa, Arjan's Haze 3. It's bred from genetics from Laos, where there's a landrace short sativa (apparently) and I just picked myself up 5 seeds in the Dam, gonna try it out in a month when I move into my new place.

The Greenhouse has a video showing their Arjan's Haze 3 plant on youtube.
 
I grew sativa's indoors. The plants were tall and thin and the buds were a bit airy, but the smoke was first rate (all red hairs). I bought the seeds online - they were supposed to be 3 different varieties (Durbin Poison, Nigeria, Skunk x Haze), but all 3 looked (and smoked) exactly the same. I don't know exactly what they were, but they were good sativas.

Picture is 1 week into flowering. This is PPP mostly Sativa. I'd say about 1 foot high and pretty damn bushy. I just keep the lights really close. Have fun!

Lama that picture is both awsome and exciting for me because i just order 5 seeds of PPP and i can't wait to see how it grows. Do you have any other pics that i could see?
 
LST (Low Stress Training)

Tie her up... adjust often... you can even use washers hanging from paper clips when the plant is still young...

Take a peek at my garden... 3 weeks into flowering, 5 inches high... (I started with clones...)

Hope this helps...
