Hey guys whats up, I have a really small place to grow in my room in the computer desk and i want to know if it is possible to keep the plant nice and small. i have heard about those lowryder seed but im not about to spend any money yet.
The area that i have to work with is 24 inches tall by 14 inches wide by like 10 inches deep.
What are some tricks to have a plant mature under 2 feet
:joint: :hump:

Hi Constuct.... you can flower a plant when it is only 3-5 inches tall with 4-6 nodes.... and still harvest 3 ounces... this requires some side lightening and HEALTHY plants.. bt it is pretty darn easy.....

The plant will not get taller than 24 inches......

you can also tiea string to the top of your plant and then tie a screw or a bolt to the other end of the string.. this will gently bend your plant over and BY you a couple extra inches..

flower early---- :)

i would rather go with topping and tying then flowering a plant that young and immature. topping can be done till flower and gives you a nice and bushy plant with many equal big buds. tying can be practise till the day of harvest and can keep a plant damn low;) try to let it veg as long as possible, the yield will pay it back to you:)

it wont be young and immature... it is a huge misconception that people think they need to grow their plants large.... 4-5 nodes (14-16 days vegging from seed) on a healthy indica and you will harvest just as much as a plant that you let grow 12 inches tall (for 6 weeks) before flowering... the smaller plant may actually even yield more if the lighting is 400 watts or less...

SMALL PLANTS REQUIRE LESS LUGHT TO COVER THEIR ENTIRE SURFAce area.. thus allowing more of the plant to produce quality buds in a short period of time...

but that you can grow with some topping too gardenknowm... so why not trying it at leased and beating down at me;) i just don't like SOG style since it reminds me of cheap commercial grown shit:lol: and if you grow a fat bushy plant with it branches tied horizontal you don't need much height but got lots surface. and he has only one pant if i'm correct so way not going this way. he probably ends up wit a bit more bud in the end for the little extra time.

when i tie down do you mean tieing to top of plant and kind of anchor it down or just to the side?
basically you can tie down any part, from branches to top by any needs, so wire, string or whatever. plan is to take vertical grow and force it to go as much horizontal as possible;) and it works best with topped plants since they got multiple tops you can tie sideways and the branch system of such plants can be also grown larger then with untopped single stem ones. so the optium you get with both methods.

i have created a closet grow room that is 5ft square and 4 1/2 ft tall. i have a 250w MH/HPS light. I have a 8" circulating fan. Is it important 4 me to put in a vent fan? I also have a Hydrofarm CO2 system. Is that CO2 system 2 big 4 my grow room?

it is damn tiny if you ask me, but is good to know that a fan is included already, that HPS will give you a nice heat issue in there so plan on updating to air cooled reflector on this one and plan so big ventilation system for the box. that box won't hold probably more then one, max two plants in flower due to its size! and tha co2 sys eats up space too.
