Certain strains are naturally shorter & bushier.

Try choosing Indicas over Sativas whenever possible and check the breeder site for maximum height assuming you're buying seeds rather than using bag seed.
cannabis-seeds Reviewed by cannabis-seeds on . how do you get short bushy plants? Also lighting question I was wandering how you get the short, really bushy plants? I read about topping between the 4th and 5th nodes, does that mean cutting the top of the plant off? ALso, I am thinking of purchasing the 400 MH and HPS lighting system with a digital ballast, will 400 watts be enough to grow 4 plants at a time? Rating: 5
