Question Make them shorter. how?
permalink
I'm currently growing in a closet that gives me a height restriction. My question is how do I force my plants to grow short and fat so that i am not putting tiny plants into flowering anymore. It is significantly cutting into how much I am getting out of them when I harvest because I have to put them in so young so they don't max out their height limit right away.

Topping is much easier for a beginner. You can do it over and over. The technique is simple but if you search for threads you can find pics on exactly where to cut - better than me telling you.

yep, LST(low stress training) work great, combained with topping have done them both and had a wider, bushier plant.Topp first, then 2-3 weeks after that start the lst
check this- HOW TO Top your plants and then use the top as a clone(With pics!!)

Lst, supercropping, topping and/or scrogging are great techniques for growers with limited vertical space they also sell things like bushmaster which helps reducing stretch by stacking nodes much closer together.

go 24/0 from seedling(hps) and the plants will grow rapidly bushy and compact.
when you go 18/6 the plants will stretch during the dark as they are searching for the light.
i do 2 weeks at 24/0 and grow low bushy trees and then switch to 18/6 for another 2 weeks to get some height/stretch on them before starting my 12/12.
and as for the source of the info i have tried and tested it may times(personall experiences)
works a treat.

LUDA.
