I think what I can confirm now, from personal experience, is that long sativas do very well if you restrict their roots at the flip, and let them grow naturally. In 3 gallon pots of HB soil, they've been a dream to grow. I've grown 'em to 13, 14, 16 weeks and they've all come out beautifully. I haven't tried no mercy yet - I want to get a good root system in cups and 1 gallon pots first - but I doubt they'd bloom any earlier. I veg for about 7 weeks, and then upcan and flip same day. No plant has grown past 4 feet yet.
When you let them grow naturally, you get better formed buds, too. My theory is that fluffy sativas don't have the metabolism to grow enough strong stems to support more colas, like indicas can. You end up with a droopy mess of airy buds if you train them. And if you use small pots and let them grow single colas, you can pack them together in a quasi SOG and get similar yield to large pots.
If you could be sure the strain was stable, it might be interesting to run 4 plants per large pot, 10+ gallons. I think four individual plants would do better in our short rooms than one large one.
Thanks for passing along your knowledge, I appreciate it immensely. These are only found by long time
observations so its worth so much more because TIME is the most valuable thing we can spend. I appreciate
the FREE gift of your time
But it gave me a chance to calculate what the room can actually produce.
All caught up again Graytail, and in doing so I took notes that’ll help me going forward. 
I also have a Goji Pupil, which is Star Pupil by Goji OG.
