How do I grow short dense plants???

[sinistarthedj]

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I'm looking to begin growing but I need to know how to keep my plants from growing above 2.5-3.0 ft and I would like them to be short and dense. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Thanks

Genetics- Avoid sativas.
Light- Lots o' light.... lots and LOTS o light!!!
Training- Keep those biotches in CHECK.

oh yeah, and WELCOME!!! :D

OK, how do I keep em "in check?"

What Stinky said.


Keep in check:

LST (Low Stress Training) - tying down branches to create a bushier plant instead of a more vertical one.

Topping - Pruning of the maristem to create more main budsites


That's about it, eh? :D

Read up, grasshopper. :jointsmile:

i usually top them also, keep light a little bit closer without burning, use highly reflective walls close, and choose indica, here a few i did recently
