plant height

[New2theGame]

from the top of my buckets to the bottom of my lamp at its highest possible mounting position is 36 inches. are 3 ft plants going to get the job done? I have read that i should flip them at 50% of the height I want at maturity? thoughts? thanks for the help MP.

but would a 3 foot plant touch or be too close to the light?

you will have less than 36" you need to take into account that you need 12"= in most cases between the top of your plants and the light or the light will burn up your plants

When it comes to me putting my ladies on 12/12 , They are 1ft when I put them in box.

how tall do they get before harvest? 2 ft? scrog might be the way to go.

It varies strain to strain some just verily stretch where other will grow 2 to 3 times their height at the flip. IMO the more light you have the less the stretch will be

Good thing about SCROG too is that you will have completely even light distribution so you wont have certain parts of the plant getting more or less light.
