Keep your lights as close as you can without causing damage to the plants. That will keep them short. Also look up LST (Low Stress Training). You can make your plant have more main colas with this method. I highly recommend it.

Topping them makes them more bushier than taller, top twice in the plants grow cycle for best results, you can end up with 8 COLAS!!!

Induce flower a little early and cut out the bottom 2 or 3 nodes. Do this in conjunction with ample lighting for nice fat colas. Just add a few more plants to make up for the shorter veg.

No...that's not going to help....

LST(low stress training) them. That means to train them by bending them, and tying them down. You can make it do whatever you want pretty much. Just search LST to see some examples.

LST would be the best for space managment. Topping does help with the overall end result of the plants height, but then again I topped mine and one is now 63 inches and still growing...

Yeah, just cuz you top it, doesn't mean it's gonna stop growing...it'll just get bigger. Think of it like shaving kinda?

lst is the way to go if you have height issues. or even if you have 10 foot ceilings! Tie them girls legs down! lol
