Short or Tall

For an indoor grow is it a better idea to keep the plants on the short side? Will this help the plant to produce more buds?

It all depends on your height restrictions and your choice of lighting.

(More height, more light,= more bud)

Indicas are shorter.

You could go into flowering sooner, keep it from growing.

If you bend or in other way keep the main stem lower than the other branches, the other branches will try and be the main stem. Eventually the real main stem will join them and you'll have 6 or 8 top or main branches.

Nice looking plants, hope I get something that good.

If you plant more cuttings/seeds and bloom earlier you can fit more plants into the tent and have a lower canopy. They are bloomed earlier to keep them small. Its called Sea of Green growing. Growers found that they can get better yields as the plants are only vegged for 3 weeks or so. The tops produce the buds. You need 1sq foot per plant. ou also harvest more oftn with the short veg period. Ill be doing that for my next grow in a few weeks.

I'm probably going to go that route myself for two reasons .. limited space and I'm dry, so a quicker harvest will be nice.

Look into scrog if you want too maximise use of light.

Awesome grow... intense lighting and a constant temp, will give a tighter bud... trim a lil more under growth imo. I like short fast yeilds, i'm gonna try a few straight up no topping, looking for that major cola. Everyone's gotta have a dream .

Training techniques are the way to grow ive tried topping, cropping, super cropping, train your main stem to grow horizontally, and all the other branches become the main stem also, less stress on the plant and it yeilds more weed so it dont really matter of the height, just keep bending your branches down away from the center of of your container until you flower it ive had great success 3 week old seed plantAttachment 281948Attachment 281948
