You will need more then 1 1/2 feet you have to take into account pot size and light fixtures, plus room for your colas to grow upwards.

not really, LST is about forcing a plant to grow the way you want it to grow and limiting its total height it gone reach, but it still gone go vertical mainly.

but if i think a bit, you could try to force it grow the way you described, would take a lot tying:lol:

Dude theres a really good article on it somewhere on here i was reading.... BAsically what you do is let the plant grow until the top flor seperates from the nodes.... Cut the nodes and tie the top flower over bending it almost ontop of itself. Let it grow straight up again.. Repeate this process continuing it all the way arounf the pot and into the middle of the pot until you reach the center... The design should look similar to one of those swirly things that spin to hypmotize people or however u spell that lol.

I didn't say the plant couldn't grow in that space but you have to have it in a pot or something and you have to have lights. So you have to take everything into consideration.

Secure zip ties to your pot rim and around the plant stalk or branches. Each day, tighten the zip ties a little bit. You can get your plants to do some pretty amazing things.

same thing can be done with wires for less money and is easier to revers if going into the wrong direction. so go with wire rather then zip ties even if those things aren't bad. but you simply can more stuff with wire then with those is possible;)
