you could basicly just chop the top off.it should make it slow the growth upwards.but make it bush out.

Not sure if you can use the halogen, but to keep the plant small
try 'topping' it. There is a good description of this in the growFAQ.

If you are trying to grow in that small of an area i would use CFLs(compact fluorescent). If you want you plants that small you will either need to train it or have a mother plant for clones and start them flowering at a few inches

theres MANY ways to do it.
1. top it, in other words, cut the tiny growth tip at the top of the plant, but this causes alot of stress on the plant, which may turn it to a male.
2. turn the lights to 12/12 as soon as the seedling pops through the ground, but depending on strain it could grow much taller than 10in.
3. LST (Low Stress Training) you tie the top of the plant almost to the soil and keep doing that....

any way you choose, youve pretty much have no choice but to flower as ealy as possible.

check the GROWFAQ. everything you need is in there :)
have fun

Check out my grow, I began flowering at 9" or so.

If you're using halogens, i'm not really sure how you might be able to spread light around the plant. But... if you can hook yourself up 2/3 27 Watt CFL's to the sides.... This will cause the plant to focus growing moer branches from the sides instead on focusing on growing tall the few it has, and the more tops for you.


And make sure you're doing your share of topping and fimming, plays a big roll in trying to maintain height. And if it gets too tall, you could always bend and tie.

Goodluck.
