Don't have enough space for a 4ft tree?
Want your plants to be small?
Want your plants to be bushy?

A: Quite easy, all it takes is moving your light closer to the plant, this makes them grow out instead of up!

Also, another question.. Want your plants BIG and bushy?

A: May not be 100% correct on this one, but at first move your light close to the plant, and after it starts getting bushy.. Move the light higher, and then it will grow tall and bushy, then repeat process.

I dont want to knock you down here so i will just give you some easy pointers to keeping your plants smaller.

Yes keeping lights closer will help to do this within reason. You dont want your light that close you are burning your plants.

Look into LST (Low Stress Training) this keeps them small by being tied down which also makes them bush out.

SUPERCROPPING this is the form of pinching leading growth to promote bushier growth and can keep them smaller.

There are other techniques you can use and even things like "HAMMER" which helps stop virtical stretch in plants.

Also less veg time can give you smaller plants.

BUt it can also vary depending on the strain choice.

IF you have a SATIVA dominant strain then expect to see some stretch going on.

It is possible to add to a conversation without "knocking you down"
they are not mutually exclusive

green life your op was spot on, lower lights shorter plants. some times just being reminded of the basics keeps us all better growers.

Yes but the "people offering advice that really dont have a clue about what they are doing yet." offended me. I'm aware that you didnt 'lose your rag' and gave me useful info, and I'm thankful because of this.. But take the arguing and stuff like that off of my thread, thanks.

It wont discourage me from helping you however i will say one thing.

IF YOU GET BUSTED YOUR MOM GETS BUSTED!

Make sure you keep your mouth shut to people. As this is the NUMBER1 reason people get caught!


Have you considered about how much its going to smell when its flowering? They smell ALOT even a single plant can stink.
