if you only want 2ft plants..why would you wait? once in flowering..they will grow at least another foot if not 2...
if you wanna keep them small id say start topping and look into lst...low,stress,training...
just start bending them over.tieing them down...the will love it and so will you in the end!!
..check out uncle bens topping thread
hope to see some pics!

I like to top right above the 4th node for 8 bud shutes at the point where you are now (5 nodes high). Veg for another 3-4 weeks after. After stretch I top each bud shute again, this helps everything down low to fill in better and gives you doubles on the end. I usually end up with a plant 20-36" in height.

Many experienced people still do things the wrong way because they have never read a book on how to do it the right way. Take the spelling of "experience" for example.

1 ft tall with 5 node sites shit get your lights near has possible bro i have 7 blues going at this time and they have 6 set of nodes and they are around 7 cm.i'm not dissing ya plant i'm just saying get the light has close has possible all the way through the grow this way all your internodes will join during the flowering phase and the yeiled will be tripple.have the lights has close has possible is key to getting the max out of the plants you are growing.each internode is where a bud site will form by haveing the internodes within a few cm's of each other the plants will join giveing you one big long bud up the centre of the stem and bud on the endsof each brance.you will have a 2ft plant yes but it will produce a fraction of what it could don.;

Ok first off I am not a bright bulb when it comes to spelling and such. So please forgive my errors.

I like to read up on has much as I can when it comes to growing. People have been tweaking for centurys, to the point of sticking sharp iron in stalks of plants, it did not work then, but you see people sticking tacks in there stalks. Why would they do this, because someone told them too. If they would of read about all the things that where tryed many centurys ago they would realize that they where being mislead,(in some cases).
So the more you read the more you know what has worked in the past and what has not. I take it all in and look at it form a logical aspect. Do I tweak my plants, you bet. But I sure don't try what has been tryed to death and still does not work or has poor or little results.

so your saying that there is no new imfo that we as a grower in 2days day and age haven't come up with somthing a little diffrent thats not in tex books. i don't think so. so many growers have proven some tex books wrong in some things. and im sure you for one of them.
