Height Control

Aside from SCROG, what's the best way for me to limit the vertical growth of my ladies?

I've heard of squeezing and bending branches but I haven't seen it work very well.

Any Suggestions?

LST and FIMing/Topping. Here are a couple good links on LST: International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - LST training in detail. Why bushes are better and https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/6834-how-lst-low-stress-training.html.

Here is a link to pruning/topping in the GrowFAQ: GROWFAQ.

Those three links should give you some ideas.

I'm gonna sound like a complete noob but, what is scrog?

SCROG is using a net or a mesh and training the plants to bend and grow around the net.

The Scrog technique in indoor growing

"screen of green" as its called

you could train the branches along the netting, basically growing them horizontally. I am constantly pruning in veg stages as well, so they get to bush out like mad. The best way to control them is just to flower them at the right time. (12-24 inches) I dont really worry about how big the plant is though, its all about how extensive your roots are. Once the roots are huge, i throw it in. One benefit of growing hydro is i can always keep an eye on them and can see problems from a mile away. Ive flowered them as small as 6 inches and yeilded more than 2 oz per plant.

use phosfoload it works its specially made to stop the vertical growth!!!

you can simply tie down the main stem...
