OK so most of you oppose pruning...but what if i have to watch the size of my plant? See Im growing my babies outdoors and there arent many places to hide them so how do i make them grow to a size suitable for my neighborhood without hurting them? Also what tucking the leaves? I need pictures ppl LoL. I just wants whats best for my lil buggars you know what i mean? I also saw i photo in a book where they were using sticks to guide the plants growth i guess. Would that help with my problem of keepin them out of birds eye view. And last but not least there are a lot of bugs in my neighborhood...would ya recomend pesticides or just let nature take its course. Thanx to all for your help. Dont forget to smoke til ya choke.

Have you ever ingested any pesticides? Do you want to start now? Don't use them...

I don't know much about the pruning aspect, but you can take sticks or whatever and tie your plants to it to control where they go, but a 3ft yard stick is kinda obvious in a natural woods environment...

There was a thread last month that if you put alcohol in the water it can stunt the growth of the plant. It's need to be a strong spirit but make sure its diluted.

I'd just top it or Bend it over.

Aha! Good idea, for some reason LST didnt even appear to me.

Thats a good road to go down, you dont stress the plant, and it keeps it low

I disagree with you lip - He didn't say anything about diluting .. he said anything over 10% was too much.

"While solutions greater than 10 percent alcohol were toxic, solutions between 4 and 6 percent alcohol stunted the paperwhites effectively."

I'm going to experiment with this in a few grows.

I agree with Garden Knowm. I wouldn't top unless you need a clone.
Just bend it over.LST

me too...try not to top.

I've got to do an LST just for fun. I think maybe I have a candidate.

this has nothing to do with this thread..........................
How about bending all the big limbs on a MUM down and setting a screen over her... I might do this soon.

Thats a great idea.
I think you may of figured out the best way to flower a mother that has been cloned all it's life.
I really think that would help the yield alot.
