Hello RIU!

I'm at my first grow, have a plant that is already 2,5 ft tall after less than 80 days (here is the pic), and I guess she still has to grow in height.

For the next grow, what would you suggest to keep a plant short? I'd prefer a wider plant, but something no taller than 1-1,5 feets.

Will the yield suffer from such limit?

Is topping a good way to limit the growth in height? Or would you suggest to "cap" the plant with a metal grid or something?

Any input will be greatly appreciated!

P.s. any guesses about the final height of my plant?

Maybe growing it in a smaller container will work... Look what it did to this guy.

Try LST http://www.rollitup.org/view.php?pg=...article&id=685 . Ideally you'd start it early but this can be applied later on, just be real gentle when bending the stalk over and don't try to bend it if it's gotten woody looking, rather than green and flexible.

This technique is really interesting!

Not applicable at the moment (4 inches at the bottom are already somewhat woody), but definitely is something to try in the next grow!
And it also seems something that can increase yield (more light penetration).

I'm asking to people with experience with LST: do this technique makes harder for the plant to bring water around?

Thanks!

I used a product called bushmaster on my last sativa grow and it kept um short and bushy

You can slowly bend the top over, a bit at a time until you can tie it to the bottom of the plant. It will turn around to face the light and then you should really start it flowering.
Figure that the plant will double or triple in size during flowering, how much room do you have?
You could use topping in conjunction with lst, and tie the branches down as they grow. Here's another method of training that saves the faffing about with string http://www.rollitup.org/advanced-mar...sai-style.html

yeah man-do some lst training, topping or use the supper cropping method-they all work out great, and supper cropping will increase the yield to.

But you mean with the actual plant?
It would be a bit difficult at the moment... I was thinking to a solution for the next grow.

Room is not an issue (I'm growing in my room, no lamps, just the plant in a pot in front of the window for the sun), but I would rather prefer a shorter plant so I can keep it much more near to the window (hiding her) and give them more direct sunlight.

Gonna check that out!

Thank you so much, Hairy Bob!

Hey Grow Space, do you have a link about super cropping method?
I ran some searches but can't end up with anything!
Thanks

Thanks! +rep to both you and Hairy Bob

Super cropping seems more hurting than LST... or not?
