height issues

[stoner408]

ok my closet is about 4 and a half feet tall but its wide.im pretty sure this isnt enough room.what i planned on doing was topping off one plant and tying down the other. what would u do? my plants are still seedlings.

bro a bit of LST wouldnt go a miss or even scrog.. both are perfect for your situation..

what the hell is scrog

"Screen of Green" ie Grow many small single cola plants instead of a few big boys.

I just looked up LST, Im totally going to do that with my urban grow this year.

what is better topping off ore tying down?

ScrOG stands for "Screen of Green". It is a method in which you set a screen above your plants (The height depends on your strain of choice... A full indica will require a screen set at as little as a foot, some people give even less. A full Sativa will require a little bit more headroom to get the branching you want. I'd say closer to 2 feet would be good) in order to limit the height of your plants, as well as encourage an even canopy to ensure even light penetration. You will be able to keep your plants very short with this method. Try to train the growth into the screen until flowering, and then let those buds swell up over the screen. For more information, look to billybob's thread, https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/41321-i-call-billybob-scrog.html

he is a man who is doing it very well. Don't follow my example (my grow journal), as I [consciously] made some bad decisions. Mine, however, will show you how little vertical room you need. My space is under 4' high, and I put a 400W HPS in it. Good luck!

You have the name right, but you are confusing the method. Growing many single-cola plants is called SOG, or "Sea of Green". A ScrOG involves a screen; read my post from immediately before this one. For his circumstances, a SOG might be alright; but he would have to be very careful not to flower too late, or they might overgrow his space. A ScrOG will keep the profile low.

All the plants I topped still ended up being 6 feet tall, so I guess you have to use some other options.

so tying down would be my best option i sprouted 4 plants but only expect to grow 2"hopefully"

 

[smokebigbudz]

I would tie them down and let photo tropism take its toll

 

[stoner408]

do we have another vote for tying down?

 

[zechbro]

yea tie them down... train them so that they best fit you area so you achieve maximum yield

 

[stoner408]

i have the basic idea of it but anyone got any techniques? or better yet pictures?

 

[zechbro]

bro just drill a series of wholes around the top of your pot and then tie string from the pot to the top and use the string to pull the plant over then you can tie other branches down where ever you want them to go
