how to keep plants short

toke420 · Nov 13, 2006

i have some narcs 4 neighbours and am starting a couple plants in my garden next year so i was just wondering if there are anyways to keep the plants under 5 feet without hurting the plant?

I havent ever done it but i have read about it, BUT its a prosses of cutting the branches , making then grow v's and growing make like a bush(growing out and not up) then strait up. The name os the prosses is on the tip of my toung, but i cant name it.

I hope this was a lil-helpful

(also look at training)

EDIT, i THINK its called topping

if you clip the main shoot between the nodes, it will stop growth at that point and proceed to grow 2 stalks instead of one. you can do this three times for a total of 8 branches. 1 into 2 into 4 into 8. or you can bend them over little by little everyday to make them grow sideways. this is probably the easiest and most effective.

thanks i'll keep thoose ideas in mind

its pretty easy all u need to do is tie your plants to the grown and they will just grow in a "bush" form. this way they don't look quite like weed plants and they stay low. the branches will just grow up and wont grow taller then 3 feet or so.

Stay away from some of those African strains. I planted one in my garden last year and I swear it had to be 15-20 feet tall. Never Again!!!

lol, i heard about african strains to be jolly green giant tall

Any strain can be bent over by tying down with stakes. You can adjust the height to what you need for stealth.
I prefer this technique to cutting, because there is no growth lag.

ok i'll give that a try thanks for all the feed back

you can cut ur leaves flat at the end to make them look different

My two cents. Top it to make it look like a bush and cut off all but the single blade on each leaf.

just disfigure the leaves and keep it by some other kinds of plants

You can top the plants, stress train them (increases yield), grow indica strains (they tend to be shorter), tie them down, and im sure there are more methods

If you "weight" down the leaves in will grow side to side rather then up. my friend said he used paperclips at first. i dont know what he did after that
