First of all you can expect them to double or triple in size while in bloom.
A 6" plant could grow to 18".
A 12" plant could grow to 36"
Common sense tells you that you would get a much bigger yield with the 36" plant..

So the longer they veg the better. Do you know the expected yield of the strain? That would tell you what it can do under ideal growing conditions.
Think over whether you want an oz from each plant or more.

If they are in three gal pots, put them in bloom at 8 or 10", larger pots would be needed to go taller.

Hope this helps with your decision. :peace:

I used that alaska bloom and my plants came out so sticky and dense, Its great for only 5 bucks. Also you should top two of them and see how you like it for the next time around.I would add 25% of of what it tells u for the first couple of waterings and gradually increase it, because when i added it to mine at 2/3 it over fertilized them and it almost killed them.Your plants are looking beautiful too man. Goodluck brother ; )
 
thanks ace... will try that... and a lil update.... I started the 12/12 cycle today so lets get it... and i upgraded the room... i added a cloning area to start my next grow... i will add new pics tonight of the room... hope all is well with everyone..... :yummy:

Keep the CFLs a good distance away from the plants and they should stay short. :goodjob:
