Bagseed grow, I need to keep these puppies short because it's at a friends house who only has 3 feet of height. I have no clue how to tie down branches, if someone has some knowledge in this area could you help me? I need to keep these plants as short as possible.

Hello Tadaa :) I really wouldn't get to bothered about it love, that's the internet for you ;)

Tell you what I'm a member of lots of different forums, concerning all types of subjects and on some of those I really struggle to get any replies :o

Hmmm I also notice that another forum of which I am a member has gone down ................ Hemp cultivation :(

Anyway a maximum height of three foot, that is restrictive.
The two ways of possibly keeping under that are, keep the light in as close as possible using fans to cool and to keep the plant from streching. Then start inducing flowering before the plant reaches eighteen inches in height.
That should give a plant a height less than three feet at harvest.

Or you could try the LST method (something I've never tried), I believe it is simply gently bending the plant so that it grows horizontal instead of vertical.
However for that just use the search box to find out how it's done, there must be plenty of threads about it, like I said I've never tried it ;)



love mand xxx :)

why dont you top the plant at the fifth node.
then force it to flower early.

VEG for three days, set your light too 12-12 and top them right that day. 3 days later the plants will be fine and they wil be pretty small...

I would've tried to help you...It is a common question, that if researched would take you about 5 minutes to find the question and the answer...

Help Yourself, impatient! lw

Sorry, Fellas. It's just that I learned here, really...Zandor mentored me, I bought the Books...I help out. No Big deal. I used OG at times, but found a bunch of A'holes there most of the time. I came to Cdot and found a home of Knowlegdable friendly growers and we have developed a community here.

I don't like when some Newb says my C-Home is F@#$%^-UP! later.lw

That's on way to get help. :p

Another way would be to realize that maybe the 38 people that were viewing your post have no idea what they're doing and are just starting out.

Be patient and you'll get help.
Trust me, everyone knows.

What's the point of this forum if the advice you get is to buy a book? Sounds like you really thought that one out, huh?

Oh is it, I suppose a search for the word "short" would be really helpful:rolleyes:

actually i searched for the same thing when i started and it took me all of 10-15 mins. to find most of it. but it was the books that i purchased that help me the most. so i agree with lw that you should buy a book or two and be a little nicer when you ask a question. and wait longer, it took almost two weeks to get an answer on my first growlog.
