I am a first timer every post has different answers. So I'm starting this one I know the higher u put a light the taller plants grow so my question is I don't want my plants tall at all maybe 2 -2 1/2 feet if possible. So how do I make them just more fluffy (bushy) and not as tall. How can I make more happen out of where stems splits off
Some have lil leaves coming out where the little branches split off the main stem and some don't. I don't know if I even know what I'm talking about but if so how can I make those lil things Bushnell up and just get more rounder and Fuller instead of height
And advice will help 100% and any tips tricks. Please and thankskiss-ass:?

wow... not sure where to start with this one. The type of vertical growth you are talking about when your lights are too high is called stretch. Strech is BAD. What you need to do is look at your plants. Look at the stem, then look at each "branch" coming off the stem. What you want is each branch or "node" to be as close to each-other as possible. This is where the buds grow in those nodes. If your plant has "stretch" then you will have long stems with small popcorn buds in the nodes wheras if your plant has less stretch the bud will fill in the space from branch to branch and you will end up with a uniform flower. To answer your question, yes a big plant means more bud but the only way to get a large plant with NO STRETCH is patience and a long vegetative period. Now you said you wanted bushes and to answer your question the best way to achieve this is trhrough training or genetics. Research the shit out of - LST'ing, topping, FIM'ing. You have a lot to learn and the only true way to grow like a pro is through TONS of research, hitting the boards and most of all TRIAL and ERROR! You gotta crawl before you walk grasshopper!
