How to control plant height?

i am working with space limitations

Try lst its a great method

look up scrog, sog, lst, topping, and fimming all ways to control plant height. loads of threads with good info on them.

My space is 3x3x3 and I got 6 ak plants lst'd. Didn't know what lst was and now I do and it solved all my problems.

scrog and flip early 21 days max veg. And keep lights low as possible.

also make sure to keep the lighting as close as possible.

alright i looked up scrog and saw two really short plants touching cfl bulbs so i think i understand what i need to do thanks

thats cool really look into scrog though as it can be a very productive way to garden and you will get some great results if your plants are trained well and the light source is as close as it should be.

Just be careful...you don't want to put 23-26watt CFL's right on the leaves...you want those at least 1" away

ok cool good tip, there is actually a useful plastic barrier that keeps the plants about 1 inch away so i will probably keep them very close to/ but not on the barrier because it itself also gets hot

don't buy CFL's with plastic around them...that just reduces the light coming out of them...get the bare ones

try doing your plants 12-12 directly from seed- its a cool process if space is limited.
