  • autoflowering strains grow around 14inches and bushy. Produces a good smoke and some have good crosses with ak47 blueberry kush etc ..
  • there are also techniques such as topping scrog

Gorilladave..........the easiest way is to keep the lights as close as possible to the tops of your plants, once they get into a close range of height that your comfortable with, put them into flowering.......im thinking if you want to control the height(because of space), then you'll want to control the width as well. Let your plants get about a bushy half a foot tall, keep the light as close as you can(this will make the plants grow wide), then flower(which will make them grow fat with bud), autoflowering only works with auto flowering strains, 12/12ing them from the start, doesn't make any sense(you have to wait until they are mature).....

i think you need to think about, size of lights, and you forget that your baby will need dirt an sorry those little cups for a whole cycle your buds will be so small and underdeveloped, you would be wasting your time and effort.


added.. when people say 14 inchs they are talking about from dirt to top, an you need atleast 8 inch of dirt.

rootbound plant in a small cup in the beginning :D that would stunt the plant and it could grow like just even 20cm long :D
