So you don't want your plants to grow or bud?

I'm really not getting this. You want your plants to grow and flourish, why would you want to prevent that? Kind of defeats the whole purpose of growing.

By the time flowering is done, the plant can double or triple in size from the size it was at the end of your veg. stage. So if your plant is 10inches and you switch to 12/12, the finishing height can be approx. 20-40inches in height.

You want that growth during flowering, you want them to stretch. They are just making way for the incoming bud growth, so it's a good thing.

If you want a shorter, more stealth profile of a plant, think about topping, during veg.. That will give the plant more horizontal growth rather that vertical
