Smallest Plant?

I don't have a lot of space to grow, so when I get a new strain I usually take very small clone and flower it to see if I want to dedicate precious square footage to a real grow with it. I think this one is about done getting taller now, but still has a few weeks left. I'd say 3" is probably the smallest I've grown to harvest without topping or training.

I have a 2 year old Coast Redwood(the 300 footers) in a bonsai pot standing a whopping 2 inches tall, so I imagine that if somebody really put their mind to it they could make a seriously tiny bud.

The smallest i've seen on here is somebody who fully flowered a plant growing in dirt in a 20oz plastic bottle. There was a single cola on it. I dunno what to search though.

Well, i dunno really. Maybe a foot and a half or so. Never really tried to intentionally keep one small from seed. As I said I use mini clones so I can cull strains I don't want while the mom is still vegging.

I have some seeds from a pure sativa laying around. I might just germ a few of them and see how short I can make a tall plant without training. It will be fun regardless of turnout.

shit thats cool i think im going to try and grow one even smaller. i once heard of someone that grew a plant in a shot glass but couldnt find anything about it must be like some kind of weed urban legend.
There was a whole shot glass grow challenge on one of these forums a year or two ago. if you search for it you can probably still find it. was a whole bunch of ppl seeing who could get the nicest plant, not the smallest, but out of a shot glass either way.

these are pics of a 6 week old diesel ryder one of my beans from a seed run i did on my second grow im gardening now for a year and one month i already had a herm, a mutant, spider mites, nats, and now a little runt i guess if you grow long enough you will have seen it all

the thing that bugs me the most is it turned up female as you can see in 2 of the pics

i got tired of taking care of it knowing it will not produce enough for one puff
besides my curosity was about solved

i layed it next to a quarter to scale proportion
