I've heard my buddy talking about training plants to get them to bush out more and have more collases. Has anyone else heard anything about this? He was talking about wrapping the main stalk around a pole and leaving it horizontal so it shoots up and out. And every week you rotate it and wrap it some more.

Anyone know anything?

I have used clothes pins in the past to weight the stalk down, seems to do the trick.

which ever way you bend the plant the stems and shoots shoot up and creates more inter knodes so yesit knda turns it into a bush:stoned:

Hey guys. *quick apology for the double post, net was stuffing me around.

Does anyone know how tall the plants get after LST? cause i've got... maybe a meter (about 3 foot) to work with, if they get taller i gotta relocate. Will it be enough do you think?

You can pretty much bend the crap out of them so they will stay below 2 feet tall or much less.

The plants will get however tall you want them to. You are training them. They must obey. You could keep them as low as 6" if you wanted to, or as high as your ceiling.
