SOMEONE with some good advice please help!!!!!! using canna soil and nutes. 5 gallon.
I used to have the same problem when i first started growing. A possible solution for your situation is the product called BUSHMASTER. It is by humboldt nutrients, and is designed to make plants grow more bushy, rather than taller. It is to be used at the onset of flowering, but can be used up to two weeks in. It will pretty much stop the verticle growth of a plant. It can also greatly improve your yields as well. BUT BE WARNED, USE WITH CAUTION!!! DO NOT OVER USE!!!! always follow the manufacturers directions. Use less if you want, but never use more! Over use of bushmaster can retard your growth, and really hurt your yields. Also, each strain will respond differently, so some trial and error is usually in order. GOOD LUCK, TREE OF LIFE
