Yea, now that I know how to keep em short, that's not going to be a problem in the future. Basically you have to have enough light so they dont stretch. I dont really think the pot size matters for height, at least not in my case, cuz if you noticed, mine got really tall while just in those little 4" rockwool cubes.

Most important is to keep strong light on her so she doesnt stretch, and topping helps stunt the vertical growth some. But like I said back on page 10 or something, I couldnt really top these plants cuz then they would grow wider and I didnt have any room for wider plants! LOL

But if you look at the one I'm doing LST on, I planted it really deep in the rockwool cube so it doesnt have that 6"-8" stretched base on it, plus I've been keeping a dedicated CFL beaming straight on her so she doesnt stretch. I've topped her once and will most likely be topping again today. I'm also gonna try to get good at the FIM technique and supercropping, and use it to create nice monster bushes. I've beeen tempted to get one of those $95 250wHPSs too! I still just might

Hey, budbreath, remember I said I cant really drop the bottom shelf down any? I wish I could, because that really would solve my problem. I could even put the resevoir under the left side because we're hand watering those now and they dont need a res. I'm probably gonna convince cohort that we should chop those tops on the flowering plants today and make them 6 to 8 inches shorter, then just hope they dont "triple" in size. Double....I might be able to handle, but not triple. Cant wait to see how it turns out! :thumbsup:
