This is my first grow and as I keep looking I dont really see that many videos or pics of some healthy short plants, they're all like 2 feet or higher. Is anyone else or has anyone else ever grown short good yeiling plants like around 1ft? If so please drop pics of them if you have.
The pics below are the ones im growing now. They are a little over 4 weeks into flower now.
1st plant: Lst & 1 topping
2nd plant: fim
3rd plant: Mainline
4th: 1 topping

If your talking about the mainline plant I topped 3 times if you're talkin about all together than yes 5 times but I dont see how that matters at all

It doesn't I was asking because I think I will try that. I was just verifying what I thought I counted. You did awesome, the plant looks great. I am interested in pics when it flowers. I have a small 3 x 2 x 5

Oh okay I have only a 2.5 x 2.5 with a light of 113w actual power consumption. I later learned that with those limited recources I was better off just growing 1 plant with a big pot instead of the 4 plants in one gallons which raises the possibility of stunts in bud production. Im sure the fact that 4 plants having to share just that one light was a factor in their small height. At the same time, growing all four plants gave me the experience of the different types of growing methods. But yea u should definitely try the mainlining. With that plant I could imagine at the least I would get 2 grams from each cola and with 8 colas thats not bad. But I still got a long way to go. But here's what the one in the white pot is looking like on the highest cola going on week 5

Wet trimmed em and threw em on a cookie rack to crispen for a week before i jar em. The bottom one had a Mg def and had some spots on her leaves. The buds came out pretty wispy because of it. My first encounter while so late in flower so I kind of played it by ear. Also had some albino pigmented leaves. That plant was cursed from the get go

It only begged for approx 30 days, I topped it at the 3rd node and peeled em out so it looked like a capital T from the side. I then topped every shoot th hereafter for about 4 more nodes. I tried all arms out wide do it was a flat table with around 14 shoots around th e same height. As it flowered it turned into a perfect little fairy circle of lighter size nugs around 14-16 of em. Mixture of the 3 FF soil lines plus their nutrient regime on the grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom

eh, some of the last soil grows I did were "manifold like" and heavy defolation. Do you count horizontal growth though? Seems to me if I'd left the plants alone they would easily be 24-36" just measuring the stem length.

Funny you say that. I was rushing those 2 little plants to provide for my upcoming holiday drought. I trained a gorilla candy the same way but let em grow upwards after for another month on top so it should be similar in shape but substantially larger. My flower tent is asleep now but I'll throw a picture of her on this thread in the AM. Forgive my lack of vernacular, a "table" is what I called the manifold method. It was probably a good 14 across though

no worries, all my terminolgy is outdated by a decade anyways. Ferts haven't really changed, soil hasn't changed, just the names of the strains and the current fad methods. I like to go horizontal on em for a bit to stretch out then just take off the supports and let em go.

and sorry to burst OP bubble, but size of plant/root is directly proportional to yield in my experience. Small plants just don't yield as much as big ones.

You remove your support ties when you turn em over to flower?
