My mother plant is getting too damn tall for my veg room. If i keep her in veg, will she just keep growing taller or will she eventually stop upwards growth? How else can i keep her short? Topping the plant, is that just gonna slow down her upwards growth or stop it? I had her under 2 x 26 watt clfs and as a result i decided to take off one of the cfls to try n slow growth. Height is an issue.

Sorry if its been answered a hundred times...i seem to not be able to find the info i need on that. I read somewhere that all i need is a 2 feet high space.....well i find that too small. Help a brotha out.

hey dude im gonna bump this post.

i kinda wanna know the answer to this question as well

Hey man im new here but look this up, and there are a few post about this.

LST - Acronym for Low-Stress Training, the technique of manipulating the branches in order to reduce plant height, expose certain branches to light, and/or distribute hormones to lower branches of the plant to encourage larger buds.

Ok for moms your gonna need to top the plant several times over time.My indicas hit about 5 feet as moms then I like to top the plant to about 4 feet.This will slow height for a while but thye will bush out and fill in.You will have to top as needed less light is gonna make them stretch and gett taller and weaker so taking light away just added to your troubles and makes the plant weaker and falls over

If You Top The Plant; You Will Stop Upward Growth On The Main Stem But The Branches Will Grow Towards The Light Try The Lst But If Its Two Feet Tall Now It May Be To Late You Can Top Each Branch Also That Will Encourage Outward Growth. However Dont Top Untill You Have To.

does weed have a max. height? my friends plant is about 6 feet tall now...

in the right conditions they can be 12'+

Thanks everybody. I read somewhere that its recomended to top no more than twice. Not too sure about that and why but the mom i have is never going into flowering. So all i have to do is just keep topping her everytime she gets too close to the light right? i just got a new box type container thats 30 inches tall....you guys think its still too small?
