keepin em small :]

[Shanti boodica]

eazy every1 wondering if i could get advice on keeping my plants small ive got a 600w hps lamp what i usualy keep 4 lovely ladies under in 18l pots of bioallmix . this method does me good but its in my loft and height is a major problem sometimes they almost reach the light towards the end and sometimes get a tad burnt on sum tops !no good! however i have alot of space in my area when it comes to floor space (apart from height) my wonder is in my next grow if i turn this 4 to 8 plants and the pots to 7.5 liters and maybe give my clones a litle less veg time will this counteract my problem plus still be quaulity just lets say half the size any advice and comments much apreciated :b

smaller pots can dictate plant size but this need trial and error to find what suits you room or use bean netting and use the scrog style and keep tucking to tips under until you ready to flower and let them go and you get a even canopy bean netting has 6inch holes in it good for support as well or go full blown scrog which is a great method for hight restricted grooms

You could always use a little LST (low stress training) where you can use plant yoyo's or string to bend the branches downwards - better still if you have plenty of floor space the try SCROG or SOG where you stretch a net across your grow area and train the plants underneath it so only the tips are above - there are a few tutorials and diarys showing the technique on the site.

You could stick 9 clones in a 3 * 3 layout under the screen in 7.5 or 11 litre pots.

Have you tried topping them or LST ? Or as you said you could just veg a little less.
