if you start bending your plant does that make it so the plant doesnt grow so tall. how do i make it so my plant doesnt grow very tall?

Carefully pull down the branches of your cannabis plant, or the whole plant, tye them down.

You are now forcing them to grow horizontally. Tthe nodes will start producing branches or buds that grow straight up. Bending should be done gradually to avoid pinching or snapping the stem. Use soft hemp string or cloth to secure the branch or stem loosely when tying down to minimize damage to the soft stems. Growth is slowed for awhile as the cannabis plant adjusts to the shock of being bent. This is a good technique to maximize space in a small grow room.

does it make it soo it dosnt grow so tall though

let me ask this

how big is that space under your bed?

This allows you to control the height of the plants, and forces them to branch.





This willie nelson bud is being trained to go around the out side of the 16L pot to camo its self.

After it grew a foot I started to train it... It is hard to see where I tied it, but you can see the result.

thanks. how do you tie it down though. i know your supposed to tie it with hemp or cloth but what do you tie it to?, do you just put the cloth or hemp over the branch and then tie it to something below the branch?

You make sure there is lots of room for growth on the end where the plant is.
And the other end, I either tie it to a round stick (wooden dowel, whatever works) placed in the pot, or like some I have I tyed it to a spike and archored it out side the pot.

Whatever works.... some make cuts in their pots and just slide the string into it; it is looped around the plant.

I usually find the "S" method to be the best when keeping height to a minumum. Although, if you're using a Sativa strain I highly doubt you'll be able to find a way to grow it under your bed.
As P.R. asked, how big exactly is the space under your bed?

well it is 2 ice cream pales wide and about 2 ice cream pales high, but i could get a bigger box i think

I would get a bigger area.

By the way...... why are you growing a plant in such a small area?

Are these small ice cream tubs, or the large ones that you see at Ice Cream venders?



Bigger the area to work with, the better the harvest!
