  1. how do you predict how tall your plant will be? i found a plant and i wanna know if it will grow tall or be short.

    it is about 7 inches.

  3. The only way to "predict" is to know the genetics, and even that can vary (ever see two short people have a tall kid?) Generally sativas grow taller and indicas shorter. Height is a controllable variable, though. First, you can use training, scrogging, trimming, etc. Second, you can flower earlier or later. Third, for an indoor grow you can use a smaller or larger pot (although I don't recommend restricting roots as a means of controlling height). Your lighting also plays a role (MH, for example, tends to veg out closer nodes).
