Maybe something like this could help << Click

Personally, I top and shape. Also have used vertical growth inhibitor, BushMaster. Works good.

try vegi state with massive cfls they will stay short and bushy as hell just like u like

Yes I agree with alpha cfl's kept close in do make for very short plants but I think you want multiple colas which also requires topping or shaping as mrfishy says.

A mix of both and you can have bonsai's or move the cfl's or other light off and they'll get taller again. Soon you'll be able to train them however you like.

I top mine several times usually, until they have more than a handfull of lower branches that pass the tops in height and then it all evens out to a flat bushy plant with many many "colas" (not really colas any more) during flowering.

im liking scrog...short bushy plants, multiple colas, grows horizontally instead of vertical

Just make sure you top them early and when it statrs to grow multiple heads just tie them dow so it can spread out instead of growing straight up

mr fishy has the answer to this

aight thanx for all the info yall....one more question...can you top the plants too early, or when do yall think the best time to top them is?

The earlier you pinch/top, the shorter/bushier the plant will likely end up.
