best sativa dom strain to grow in a DR80 grow tent?

[southflorida]

I am planning on doing my future grows in DR80 grow tent...it is 80cm(2.66 ft) width x 80cm(2.66 ft) depth x 160cm(5.35 ft) height and I will be using a 400 watt digital ballast with an air-cooled reflector

my question is: *what are the best *sativa dom strains* (75% / 25%) to grow in such a height restricted tent?*

some of the ones I have been looking at are:
(1) serious ak-47
(2) soma amnesia haze
(3) sannie's shack (jack herrer x shiva)
(4) sannie's jack hammer (jack herrer x amnesia haze)
(5) sannie's killing fields (the one x jack herrer)
(6) sannie's recovery haze (jack herrer x shiva) x (amnesia haze)

WHAT ARE OTHER SUGGESTION from people who have actually grown sativa dominant strains, and can confirm that they don't stretch too much

i hear cannalope haze is a very short sativa

8 weeks too

i know its not on ur list but i dont know anything about any of those

cannalope haze but if you have the cash get some kalimist it is some exotic bud you and your friends will love. i would say super silver haze but i just ordered the seeds and am waiting on growing that myself. but if its one from the list sannie's jack hammer (jack herrer x amnesia haze) sounds good.

IF youre working from your list.....

sannies killing fields OR recovery haze.
ive run both, and, with training, both would easily fit in (approx) 62inches (5ft) in height.


some other recommendations......
"big bang" (laos sativa x northern lights #5) has been on weekend special lately as well. thats a good choice too. not as potent as the two sannie selections i picked, but yields just as well and is an easy grow, too.
super silver haze is a great choice, too. but pricey and hard to find.....

lotta good choices to pick from......

youve got price restrictions?

In my limited experience, and contrary to many opinions, you can grow most sativas in any sized space with some planning. Small sizes pots and very low levels of food will keep them short. If you want more plant, train them and use larger pots. Things will get out of control if you just let them grow with lots of food.

Just curious,

When you say 5ft is that the total space you would need including container height and hood, or is 5ft needed between container and hood?

Is it possible to train a plan to grow almost parallel to the horizon so that is has an almost 45 degree bend in the stem?

Virgin, lst (low stress training), super-cropping - the pinch and bend techniques, and scrog are all about pulling down growth, and spreading them out more horizontally under the lights.. Plants won't continue on growing horizontally though. The growth off the horizontal branches will eventually turn up, and grow towards the lights. But sure these are great ways to control some of the height of the unruly sativa

That's kind of what I figured but thought you might be able to continue the horizontal training forcing new growth at the top to stay at the 45 degree angle for at least a month into flowering then let the cola turn up. Seems like it would take a lot of stretch for side branches to grow more than four feet and the cola would mostly stop stretching out after about four weeks I thought. It looks good in my mental visualization, just didn't know if it was possible.

But of course it also means you have to have space for a few plants to tie in this method even if it would work or you're limited to a plant or two on the grow.

let me rephrase the question...lol

what cannabis strain could be grown in a space of *2.7 ft x 2.7 ft x 5.35 ft* and grown *natural style*......meaning...putting four plants....with....each getting 40 squared cm(or 1.33 squared feet) and receiving 400 watts of light (air cooled) and let's say using hps philips green power?

(1) ak 47
(2) skunk #1 (but has to be a sativa dominant with high thc....like belladonna..from paradise)
(3) amnesia haze

what are some others?

southflorida, have you considered Arjan's Haze #3? I don't know much about it as far as potency and genetics but it's their claim to a true sativa/haze that by design stays very short. Here's a grow video.

Here's a thingy that says it's lineage is Haze and Laos.
