There are seed selection techniques, trimming techniques, chemical growth restrictors, twist-tie training techniques, etherial "moon" techniques, prayer, numerology...just to name a few. :thumbsup:

Different strains have different growth habits.
Usually:
Sativa dominate hybrids will have a more radical PMS cycle early after the switch to 12/12. (Pre Motherhood Stretch) After the initial vertical stretch, they'll slow down to a crawl and start filling-in. Slow but steady.

Indica dominate hybrids will have a more compact PMS cycle, and will fill-in rather quickly.
Rusty Trichome Reviewed by Rusty Trichome on . Stretching During Flowering Hi, I need advice on how to keep nodes compact during flowering. My plants were very compact in veg. However, when I switched to 12/12, they went from 12 inches to about 30 inches in a week! I kept the lights super close to try and prevent stretch, but they kept hitting the lights and I had to move it up every day. I have a 400w HPS growing in DWC. I have a couple in soil and those hardly stretched at all. My goal is to produce massive colas. Rating: 5
