Big Bud Fem + White Ice fem

Hello sensi

Today i ordered 10 big bud feminised and 5 white ice feminised. I have a square meter under a 400 watt HPS which i'll be using for both veg and flower (i'll use a few 25 watt cool white cfl's for the first 4-5 days of their life). What i hope to achieve is a natural SOG that's why i chose big bud (white ice for variety).

However i need some help (from sensi maybe?). How long should i veg to achieve the single cola style without losing too much yield? It is my understanding that 12/12 from seed is not recommended and that 1-2 weeks veg first would do the trick as well but with more yield, am i right? If so, then what pots should i use? Even if i veg for 2 weeks i can't see how i can  start in starter pots and then transplant, there's simply not enough time (no transplants in flo). Should i start in final pots? Also what height will they have at the end if 12/12 from seed and if 1-2 weeks veg? Will there be any unwanted side shoots if i veg for 2 weeks? And to make a long story short, what kind of plan would sensi recommend for a natural SOG with their fem big bud and white ice?

I gotta say that my last grow (which was my first ever) was with sensi WW and PPP and it went great. I had 8 plants and they produced 20-30g each, but i vegged them for 5 weeks so i think that the yield wasn't that great after all and i know why, i'm not doing the same mistakes again. So now i believe that more plants but smaller in the same pots as before will give me twice as much (assuming i eliminate my mistakes and achieve perfect conditions), am i too confident?

Also, will BB and WI play well together in a SOG setup?

Damn, i got so many questions. I want everything to be perfect and i feel confident that i can make it perfect, i just need some insight from sensi on the SOG matter. Please guys help, i promise i'll post a grow log in the forum :) :)

Well i don't have the luxury of clones (no 2nd grow space for mommy) and sensi descibes BB as a good natural SOG strain. SCROG is out of the question because speed is a very important factor for me, so i cant veg for 7-8 weeks. As for the WL WW, i feel they could give me 50+g each if i hadnt stressed them early on in their life and if i had a proper pot for them. I used 20cm (w) x 20cm (w) x 17cm (depth) final pots, and in conjuction with the jiffy pellets i germinated them in, the tap root had very little depth to grow. I've been told that for marijuana 2x or even 3x depth is recommended whereas mine wasnt even 1x .

Also, vegging for 5 weeks resulted in 60cm to 1m tall plants which is too tall for a 400 watt hps in 1sq m , light wasnt getting down there, the plants were big side-wise too leaving me with a lot of unused floor and many weird looking small buds.

However i still got 220g of dty buds in the end :)

well i don't know, i'm a noob. Watching different SCROGs on the net made me believe the plant need a long veg to be able to restore itself from all the toppings and stuff and to have many tops over the screen at the end. I really can't think of how one could SCROG with so little veg time,can u please give me some wisdom?  i'm really interested in what you said about scrog, how can i go on about it and how many plants are we talking about?

interesting. However only 2 weeks? How many shoots can a plant have after such a short time? Mine had only the main growth at that time, maybe a couple of very small side shoots. Very interesting tho, and i believe i've already done something like that when i had a bagseed along with the WW and PPP which i trained, it looked like it could give 60-70g but it didnt make it past week 6 flo, it was taking precious space from the others which i knew were killer weed and i cut it down.

Phewww, choice, choices, choices . I got a week before the beans arrive and i still haven't made my mind which road to follow.

I'll try and make it simple to my mind and to any1 willing to give an opinion. How can i go over 220g in my grow space and in less time than 14 weeks (thats how long WW took, 5 veg + 9 flo) with my choice of strains?
