I have a few plants going right now, was wondering if any of you have a technique to making one grow short and bushy, and also to making one grow really tall really fast? I know the logistics of basic growing but I want to try something new. Please no smart ass comments, I'm trying to learn

Put the light farther away from the ons you want to grow tall and it will streach

Look into topping the one you want bushy and lst as prince said . The tall one I would let go natural . But in my honest opinion you should experiment seperate times and always try and keep the canopy of all plants at the same height . Or u could place the shorter plant on a milk crate or something to get it the same height as your tall one

Prune the bottom branches.... super crop, fim, and top........tien them down will also promote bushing!! ...This year with my outdoor I used everyone of those techniques on all my plants.. Some plants have over 70 heads!

That's a major concern for all indoor tent growers. I always fim when I see the 6th node, and again a week before the flip. I prefer fiming over topping, but both are good for the plant and for you giving you more cola's. With fiming, you get 4 new nodes, with topping you get 2. I also flip earlier at 14". Peace

Make sure to save room for the bush though once you have a plant thats wider than it is tall you will be glad u saved some extra room for it once the bush stretches . Imagine tetris
