Anyone who knows how i can make sure my plants won´t grow to tall outdoors, anyone who has a good method?
1st off why bother? (neighbors?)
The only way out is topping, not recommended if the plant is past 4 weeks, or LST which means putting stakes in the ground and pulling over the top of the plant.
I recommend stakes and string.

I was thinking about topping but i heard it's not recommended When growing early girl, this strain seem to have the largest bud on the main stem. Or what do you think? I was thinking about tie it down.
How would the result be if i just have a net over it, could i keep the height down this way?

somewhat, you'd be better off at this point bending her over, and taking the downward pointing branches, and training them to grow upwards

Topping, LST, and super cropping are really your only options. That and strain choice will have make a difference. Indicas grow pretty short for the most part and flower sooner.

Even after all that tho you still run the risk of having a monster. my last yrs outdoor grow i tried to keep my girls down cuz i cant have them going higher than my fence (2 cop neighbors on either side of my street and i dont want to advertise to any rippers) but i still ended up with one plant that finished at just over 5ft tall and just under 7ft across lol. I trained the shit out of her and she loved everything i threw at her. She had her own plans to go beast mode tho.
