ii have seen it done theyre usually very very low yeilding tho mainly single colas....and quarter{7grams} at most...why would tou want to do that theyre is ways to get a fully grown collie plant under that height...look into LST{low stress training} hope ii helped

because of my space, i flower between 4 and 5 inches... still only getting the 1 or so ounce range of output... cant say for sure cause i dont have a scale.... have seen 4 ounces yielded from short flowered plants though... it depends on your skill and genetics how big of a yield you will get. a properly treated plant with plenty of light flowered at 5 inches should be able to produce a quarter pound though.... that is my goal... i have done it in the past, i will do it again.

SOG is not low yielding.

it doesn't look like ScrOG is low yielding either.

Lowryders yield more than a quarter, and i am preeeety sure they go into flower in the 5" range.

course, none of those compete with a 7 foot tall monster :weed:

ii thought you did a free grow yes sog and scrog are very high yeilders thats why ii specified method...it can get confusing to the high mind....lol...

no, they became about 3 foot in the end... 5" when they go into flower, not when they are done ;)

if i showed you pics of my shit setup right now you would laugh... Hell, i laugh at it... but it still yields me buds and will continue to get better.... however, if you want to see some pics, take a look at ScrOG's... most all of those get put to flower at about the 5" range... and the whole point to doing SOG is to get as much yield from as small of a space and as fast of a time as possible, which means clones are barely rooted before they hit flower.

if you just want to grow a normal and untrained/trimmed plant a 5" plant is too small to put to flower (except with Lowryder's i would think) but if you are microgrowing, it becomes a must... as well as various other methods of super cropping.

i feel that :eyesmoke:

i have managed to grow a popcorn bud once by accident... apparently it went to flower as soon as it sprouted... cutest little thing i ever saw... hit nice too... all three hits :-P

all that said though, a plant that is let get nice and beefy in veg will produce more than one rushed to flower... the super croppers are also factoring time/harvests per year into their equation... so, they sacrifice end yield for turn around time on the crops.

i know but if u had to take a guess what would it be!
a waste of time?

seriously, it sounds like you are just getting impatient with your grow and this will DRASTICALLY hurt the yield. spend some time and learn a bit about SOG (Sea Of Green) and you will make those 100 plants become all they can be... something in the ballpark of a quarter pound per plant...

rush those puppies along and harvest them early and you will be lucky to get a quarter ounce per plant, dried.

even if you rush them as fast as you can, there is still a couple months of growing ahead... just relax and let them do their thing. the massive yields that a crop like that can bring will be well worth the wait.
