Hey sausage200723, to 420 Magazine!
I think you'll find this is the best mmj community out there... Dedicated to spreading awareness of the benefits of Cannabis.

Our members are some of the most knowledgable and the most helpful anywhere!

It's tough to predict how tall a given strain will grow, because there are different phenotypes within the strain. I have some SLH mothers, but haven't flowered them yet. SLH is saliva dominant, and is known to stretch. Most plants will double or triple in size after you induce flowering.

The problem isn't height alone, it's light penetration through the canopy. Even 1000 watt HID lights won't get adequate light to anything past about 2.5-3 feet, anything lower will just be underdeveloped popcorn. Generally with CFLs you'll want the bulbs as close to the tops as you can get them without burning the leaves.

Another option is using her as a mother plant. Once the the clones root you can flower them immediately, and you should be able to keep them under 2 feet. Several of these smaller plants will usually yield more, higher quality buds from lower wattage lights than larger plants. The term Sea of Green (SOG) refers to growing large numbers of these smaller plants placed closely together to optimize light. 420fied's journals illustrate this method wonderfully!

Another method you might want to look at is Screen of Green (SCROG). Same theory using fewer plants and a screen or net to spread the branches an form a nice even canopy.
