Yo everyone, i have 3 mother plants that are getting a little too big for my closet. How would I go about topping the plants? How do I control the height? Any advice helps. Thanks so much!

i guess you could super crop em, never done it my self but seen it, toping them can be as simple as pinching off her head just below the newest growth, dont just pinch off the tips of the tiny leaves tho you have ta get a little bit of the stalk, just a LITTLE BIT, it should just pinch rite off

I do some severe LST for my 2 mothers. I start training them from an early age but it is never too late to tie your mother down. I have one that I am growing in a circle. If you look in the GrowFAQ under LST you will find some great info. That is how I started and the more clones you take, the bushier the Moms get. There is almost no limit to how extreme you can get. I have moms that are 8 months old and are no taller tan 8". They are wide though. I can easily take 15 cuttings from each plant every 4 weeks. Growing horizontal can be a challenge as I have to train the new growth every week but it is equally gratifying when you see the results. Hope that helps.
