would a smaller pot keep my plant smaller?

I have a plant going right now and it has its first set of 3 leaflets and i want to keep it small. Im not an idiot, i know it will get rootbound in a small pot but im wondering if it will still flower and mature if its rootbound. I need it small for security issues for now. im talking 1-2 feet tall at the most. any help?

you will accomplish what you want with what your doing, excellent work.

well i know if it gets root bound it will stop growing...i'm pretty sure you should be able to flower it though...i mean, look at lowrider plants..i was checking out a grow one time and i don't think they transplanted those at all...they were pretty small and still produced buds..so shit, why not try?

alright thanks dinkydigger +rep

yo, wheres my rep

Yes, Essentially a Bonsai works on the same principle. As a matter of fact, last summer I grew some corn and started them out in liners. Well all the trays were planted except one. I unintentionally left it on the irrigation table, and promptly forgot about it. Well, lo and behold two months later I walk by the liner and there is a bunch of corn with TINY little ears of corn.
Bonsai!!!
They were delicious too.
And so the great but silent personal question I have thought about every time I eat Chinese House rice had been finally answered quite by accident. I'm going to plant 500 this year just for kicks!


out.

1 - Top / take clones off the top
2 - Heard of methods of trimming back the root system and canopy to keep it on the same size pot

well it will make your plant stop growing from that top but it will encourage more tops to grow

alright thanks again

A small pot will keep your buds ok but u really wont establish much vigorus growth and side nodes if you do budding wont be as vigorus

i figured i wouldnt have a huge harvest but its better than nothing i guess

Yea it is its gonna tease the fuck outta you and then your gonna say i need bigger fatter buddsssssss lol thats happend with my first harvest my plant was gone in less than 2 hours

peedy89.... If you allow your plant to go rootbound in a small pot (under 2 gallons), it will stay smaller - provided you feed it correctly and give it plenty of light...(50 watts per square foot minimum - in the correct specturm *) & flip the lights to 12/12 when your plant is 8 inches tall.
.
She will stretch and can even double in size during flowering. So, if under two feet is your goal - go this route or buy some Lowryder 2's. They are autoflowering "dwarf" plants - easy to grow, and very, very bonsai....
.
* (veg spectrum - 6500 K " Daylight bulbs or MH)
* (bloom spectrum - 3000 K and under or HPS)
.
Here is an example: Skunk #1 (started from seed mid July - vegged 14 days - one day total darkness - lights flipped 12/12 (7 days)- transplanted outdoors - she grew to only 32 inches. I wanted this one and a batch of her sisters to stay low for security reasons. They all still produced well rounded buddage.)
.
Hope this helps...
Keep it Real....

ohsogreen- thanks for the advice, i will definitely try both routes. +rep
