hey everyone,

so my plants are in the veg stage right now and are about 2 feet tall growing under a 400w HPS. im going into the flowering stage right now but my light is as high as it can go and if my plant gets too much taller it will burn. someone was mentioning low stress training or something. can anyone explain in more detail??

Bushmaster is a nute made by Humboldt County's Own..It stops all vertical growth and forces the plant to flower(saves you 2 weeks no stretch). It also stacks the budding sites.

You can gently pull the plant to the side and tie it down. Would be a good cheap way to get some more tops out of your plant.

And topping is cutting the top cola. You can make a nice clone out of the top of the plant

Well the veg stage is meant for straight growth so I suggest turning into flowering now and they shouldn't get much taller after that.

This isn't true. Stretching continues well into flowering.

plants will almost double in flower

This is more accurate. Funny things can happen depending on the strain and the nutrients you use. I last grew some Master Kush and used some Super Plant Tonic when flowering began and a couple of plants tripled in height, most more than doubled.
