🌿 What Does “Medium Height” Mean in a Strain Description?Updated 3 months ago

When you're browsing cannabis strains on our website, you'll notice we list plant height as Short, Medium, or Tall — but what does "medium height" actually mean in feet or inches? 🤔

Let’s break it down!

📏 Approximate Height Ranges

While exact plant height depends on your grow environment, training techniques, and whether you're growing indoors or outdoors, here’s a general guide:

So if a strain is listed as medium, expect it to reach around:

• 3 to 5 feet indoors (under grow lights with training)

• 4 to 6 feet outdoors (especially if untrained or in large containers)

⚠️ What Can Affect Plant Height?

Keep in mind these variables can push your plant outside the “medium” range:

• Autoflowers vs. photoperiods: Autos are usually shorter, while photos can stretch more.

• Environment: More light, nutrients, and space = bigger plants.

• Training: Topping, LST, and super cropping can reduce vertical height and boost yields.

• Phenotype variation: Even within the same strain, plants can vary in size.

✂️ Need to Control Height?

If you’re working with limited space, look for:

• Short or compact strains

• Autoflowers

• Strains labeled as "easy to train" or "bushy"

And don’t forget — you can always use low-stress training or topping to manage a medium plant and keep it right where you want it. 💪
