PC Grow box concerns

Hello. My husband and I made a PC grow box. We just got our first sprout a few days ago. We were wondering what can be done so that the plant grows fat and not high as the PC box only provides so much space? If it matters the seeds were Amnesia Lemon. Any suggestions?

when they get close to the hieght that you want cut the top off like they do to trees and other plants then it starts to fill out

what you grow, and how you grow it effects yield..

some plants prefer 1 main stem, some like to be bushed out.. a few runs with your plant should give you a better idea of how she can grow..

taking off the top of the plant once it reaches the light will promote growth horizontally, you have very limited vertical space, so you want to make one even canopy,

you want to do the majority of your training before entering the flower stage as well.. a PC grow takes precisely planned growing..

any pictures of your box? and it setup?

I am so glad I found this site. I can see how helpful it will be to have you guys in my right ear. :) I am going to get some pics tomorrow. Maybe get some opinions from the experts. She is just a baby now, but I want to be prepared cause it seems like such a small area. We are both new to the whole PC box method so I can guarantee I will be seeking much assistance throughout the entire process. Wish us luck and Thanks in advance.

What kind of lights did you use. We have two the same as the one that is off in your pic. Is that okay? and a fan. We cut and pasted the shit for keeping the sun out of the car. (cant remember the name).

Those are 2700k Cfl you can find those in any home department they brighter in the red spectrum which is needed more during the flowering cycle well the 6500k Cfl are brighter in the blue spectrum which Is better for vegative growth you can always go 12/12 (direct flowering) or train the plants with techniques if space is limited.

I have three cfl 13 watt bulbs. That plant in pic is only my 2nd plant ever so when I harvested my 1rst I didnt need all three lights on just one plant. I was seeing burn marks and she wasnt lookin right so I only keep two on now

LST worked really well for me in my PC grow box. I just trained the main stalk to grow horizontally and I ended up with 4-5 phat colas, and a whole lot of popcorn. The colas were super dense, the popcorn was more airy by comparison. I pulled down a great harvest from my first grow.

Get sum "Bush Master" when it gets to the height you want water it with the Bush Master. It will stop elongation, like right now. It's the easiest thing you could do to control height issues. It also makes your plants transition from Veg to Flower quicker.
if your more hands on savvy, look into bonsai.

Are the bulbs as high as they can go? Thats too little room, even for a pc grow. My advice, get a cheap box (wooden), drawer, anything that you can hollow out that is at least a little bit bigger. Check ebay and other used sources to get this kind of stuff super cheap. With what you have you might end up with 3 gs after 2 months work. As mentioned before by others, LST and SCROG are your best friends in small grow spaces.
