How do i grow short plants?

I wanna know how to grow short plants like what do i need to do?

haha are u serious? u gotta read dude

Look up. LST (Low stress training) FIM (Fuck I missed) ect. LST is probably what you are looking for.
Rep me!

It depends what you mean by short. If you want small, thick bushes then you need to train the plant via LST, topping, fimming etc. If you want small lollipop-style plants, switch to 12/12 early to force flowering. If you want fewer plant numbers but maximum bud production, you could use a screen for a scrog grow.

General tips to reduce height when growing include blue spectrum lighting for veg, plenty of light as close as possible, and inducing flowering when the plant is 1/2 to 1/3 of the maximum height you want it to end at.

Go with LST.

i did a 12/12 from seed grow, and that kept the plants small...they only grew to 20 inches or so...but the yield was only about an ounce per plant. but thats an easy way to keep em small, and if you have room for a good SOG you can harvest more often and not sacrifice too much yield.

haha are u serious? Go suck a cock i hate quick to talk mother fuckers like you i wouldnt have posted this if i wasnt reading the site. i looked small plants or lowryders and i didnt find nothing so take your haha are u serious and go stick it up your ass.

And for the others who werent being dicks thanks for the help.

I hear ya.

Newer people are always told to use the search function.

The problem is it pulls up 10 threads that are 20 pages long and the info can be anywhere in those threads or it is just a couple of related words that don't really tell you anything.

It is a pain in the ass to find the info reading through all the threads.

I know but i still use it. That is the only reason i posted this because i couldnt find anything about how to grow one i just saw people like having a picture of one or that they were growing one.

Tell you what, bro.. read my grow journal as a starter. It's in my sig. I'm verbose, but it details a LOT about how to keep things tiny, since I'm a PC grower. There are pictures, too. Basically, how I'm keeping things small is a combination of things:

1. Genetics - you will surely fail if you start off with a monster sativa and you have 2' in height to work with. Lowryders or 80-100% Indica are naturally small.
2. LST: Low Stress Training - in a nutshell, bitches love it when you tie them down!
3. Topping: Leave the bottom node, but chopping the top off keeps it bushier and gives you 2 main colas.
4. Pruning: Since you do not want height, you want to maximize weight on the lower nugs. Trim some leaves to get them out of the way of developing lower buds.

Also, don't let people get you down. The vast amount of info. on this site can be daunting.. especially when you're just starting. I know.. that was me about 10 months ago. For the record, it took me about 8 months to read and plan my grow to fit my surroundings. Rushing things just isn't an option with growing, unless you really don't care about getting busted or fucking up the plants that came from $50 seeds, etc.

Again.. my journal and the people who have posted on it are, in large part, interested in micro-grows. PC Case, Rubbermaid, Mini-Fridge.. and mostly CFL.

Peace and luck.

thanks man that is what i need +rep
