Keeping Sativa Short

ZombieGrowsstarted grow question 5 years ago

Could it be possible to keep a very tall sativa strain like Shogun ('Indoors 90-140 cm') to a maximum height of about 60 cm using training techniques?

Yep, start a scrog net at about 20cm. To keep it at that 60cm you want, you will likely have to supercrop and top a few times also. It won't be the prettiest scrog, but it should work. Your other option is flipping to flower in week 2 or 3. I don't recommend this because she will not want to flower that early and your yield will be minuscule, but again its possible.

Topping an auto flower I want to top the big wedding cake but I'm worried I waited too late and at the rate she is growing I think she is an auto (wasnt supposed to be). Should I go ahead and top her or just let her go? I have read lots of mixed reviews about topping autos.

She's too tall! Advice???One of my girls is much taller than the others. I missed a branch during LST, if that isn't obvious lol. Any advice on how to handle this? She's getting way too close to the light.

Cosa posso fare??aiutoooo!!Durante il supercropping mi è capitato di aprire una ferita nel fusto principale dove ho subito riallacciato la parte penzolante con lo scotch. Ho paura che non si riprenda più o che il supercropping non funzioni. Qualche consiglio?? La pianta è molto floscia.

I want to learn more about LST (low stress training) tecnic I never done it before, but I’m sure it will improve my yield, maximizing resources, mainly light watts. Shall I start by bending the main cola, is it better for the shape of this plant? (+Speed auto from Sweet Seeds). Thank you 🙏 in advance for any insights.
