smoking and usage

I have 5 seedings growing under a 400w metal halide bulb in my cedar closet. They seem to be doing well. I have them in organic soil and so far no problem with the soil and the seedlings.
My question is... how tall should these get? What would everyone recommend as far as height before flowering for this specific strain? The breeder says they can grow up to 3 inches per day and flower for 8 weeks.
I think my soil is good.. I am not planning on adding anything to it.. I cant find any of the fox farm products in my area but found master gardeners organic gold soil.

description:
All natural rich blend of Fir bark fines, forest humus, sphagnum peat moss, perlite, worm castings chicken manure, bat guano, kelp meal and pH balanced to 6.5 with oyster shell and dolomites limes. For use in all indoor/outdoor potting containers and raised bed applications.

Anyway, I would like to just let it go with this soil and see how it goes and maybe use some sort of organic nutrient for flowering when the time comes.

Anyway, would love to talk to someone who has experience with NL for any info they could provide.

BTW seeds from Weed Depot, joey weed NL-F2. Hope they stay in business as their service was prompt and they answered all emails..

NL can get to about 1.2-1.5 metres tall, In my experience anything over 15 inches in height is good to start flowering

Your soil mix sounds amazing/interesting

Good luck

would that be 1.5 meters in flowernig or pre flowering?

well whatever height you start flowering at , expect it to double or maybe even triple in height , most people'll recommend 13''-15''

1.5 meters finished height, as OhFuhQ says expect your plant to do most of its growing during flowering, they can produce as much as 70% of their final size in flowering!!

cool thanks... i have at least 6' height available. Eventually i want to try the scrog method but want to grow the strain normally first.. then maybe do a bubble bucket next time (at least for 1 plant). I want to see how the organic grow turns out.

Not really... I have a wall calender with the days marked for when they germinated, day they went into the soil, first time the sprouts crack the ground and seedling sizes.
I am doing this more for future grows so I dont lose patience.. I took a few pics for myself.. but they are only still less then a week old.. lol
