When I won't be needing clones anytime soon, I cut back the watering on my moms. Sure they lose some leaves during this time but if I don't they'll fill the room. Then when I need clones I crank up the watering and do some spraying with the pump up sprayer. I spray with straight water, to clean mostly, all the plants weekly.

2) false.
every plant, every pot from a cup to gallon to a 55 gallon drum is always root bound at transplant and finish. fact my plants really take off when the roots finally start twirling. I kept a mj plant in a 5 gallon pail for years, grows like crazy, topped weekly.

its been proven. check google scholar. Never said it wouldn't be root bound in end for flower.

plants that are root bound in veg have slower growth.

maybe depends on what root bound means to you? If it means dozens of twirls at the end of the bucket then false, at least in my garden. maybe I'm lucky, or unique dunno...lol
you can check this out yourself too. plant a seed in 5 gallon bucket and one in a dixie cup. lemme know what you see

Ok I will explain sometimes I will have to keep plants inside longer then I want too. I live in the north east. I do indoor and outdoor in the summer. So sometimes the weather is still cold. So I will not pot up for a while, every grow room as its size restrictions. So I will let them get root bound, so they will have to be water daily. This slows growth down. Like I said though if you do not believe look at College experiments. Those are the only experiments that are not profiting from there research. Also those are the only ones I trust. Most other studies are to hype up bullshit products. Hydrodan hahah funny shit better check google scholar lol

your slow growth is not because of the rootbound, its because of the necessary resources not being delivered correctly or on time. That same small container in a quality drip system for example would flourish and grow fast, upwards of course. In a short squat pot it will grow bushier. If you
. If all resources are delivered correctly there is no slowed growth due to container size, roots twirling etc in my rooms. maybe check your other resources, like c02? temps, air flow, water quality, chelated nutrients, humidity, mine are spot on and that will make huge differences in our results., never mind, your slow growth has been explained. good day.

Your a idiot read the thread again chemplegm. He asked how to slow down growth. If I want to slow down growth, I wouldn't be feeding so much, Your on the wrong thread. But your profound knowledge of growing is just great you should give yourself a pat on the back. Again the guy asked how to slow down growth. If your trying to slow down growth don't pot up and don't feed as much lol

I do understand what your are saying. But he asked how to slow growth for the other ones to catch up. The smart way would be to put something under the small plants to rise them up. But another way is to not pot up and not feed a lot. But whatever.

Plants are already too big for those red cups, plant up to something about 2" wider, they should reach about a foot and a half in height then.
