    Question How too stop height of ya plants.

    Hi Guy's,
    I'm am old smoker new to growing. (well now on 3rd grow)
    My first grow was a jungle that nearly burst outta my roof lol. At least 7 feet tall.
    2nd grow i read lots of info re. topping and trimming also bending. As a result of this i ended up with buds that didn't seem to fill out good and ended up with less yield from my 4 white russians than the first. (exactly same conditions) I wonder if anyone knows if this strain is not good at handling stress which i have just learned that some strains dont do well on 1 of yr posts on here.
    My plants were in veg for 6wks from seed. light was a constant 20" from tops.

    Also just spoke to guy at my local hydro shop and he had just got this stuff in that you add last week of veg but it was like £200 for a real small amount. He said it would stop growth dead. Sounds great except for cost.
    Anyone know anything cheaper?
    I have spent hours trawling the net searching and reading ideas. All input is really welcome.

    Or will i change strain for one which will handle stress better?

    Cheers!

    mate!!! you cant veg a plant to 2.5ft and not expect a monster! a 4 week veg is enough!
    then flower them around 12" you should end up with a nice 3-4ft plant depending on your
    conditions! your having to top, fimm, supercrop, lst! because your vegging them too tall

    in short.....
    you place a screen above your plants in veg and train the shoots to stay under the screen by pulling them back under and into a new square when they can reach, You do this until you feel the screen is just over half full of potential budsites then flip to 12/12 resulting in a screen of level budsites all receiving the same amount of light.

    cons - extra veg time - can be avoided by using more plants under one screen

    pros - less plants+more yield

    lol theres more to it than that but its easy as easy can be tbh. link in my sig to my scrog

    Interesting Cock, I was thinking this just the other day, could that work. And I reckon yeah, kinda a cross between a scrog and a sog.
    I was thinking it would probably end up yielding better than training the one plant to fill the same space as 2 or more
