How big is your plant?

I know all strains and grows are different , but just curious how tall or bushy have your plants gotten in a 5 gal pot?

Well I use 3 gallon final pots and I bend and tie down my plants by week 2 to promote branching into bushes and keep the under 30" for best light penetration.

However if I did not bend and had enough light they would likely all be 4-6 feet tall. I grow hybrids like g-13 x sour diesel type strains.
 
Nice bro!
thanks, man. It was kind of an experiment to see how short I could keep it. It was a clone with 3 tops, so I vegged it for about a month pulling everything back, and then cut the entire top off back to the next node and used them as clones. So, it was a clone, I topped it, it put out 3 mains, and I cut them off and forced is all back to the middle. Normally, I like them to be around 25 35 inches tall, but it was cool to bonsai that one out. I have a few more that are more "normal" i'll post pics of tomorrow. Yours looks cool. I prefer that style these days for some reason. I think it's because I'm not so concerned with ripping as much weight as possible, because it's legal here. Big plants are nice, but if you have other things going on and not a lot of space, it's ideal.

20170501_114800.jpg last run I got this beauty. Don't know what she is. But the smoke is nice. Topped to 14 heads in a 1sq ft area. Don't know what weight either. I don't sell what I grow. So I've not bothered to find that out. Think she was about 23cm tall and 29cm wide. Probably in close to 20L of ROLS.

Awesome. That should turn out nicely. I'm kind of the same way with the weight. I quit paying as much attention when it was just for me. I DO still weigh it out of curiosity.

That's really cool. And a lot of buds in such a small footprint. Nice job!

That's cool man, I'm guessing your branches on that thing were super fat from being so stocky. Keeping them small and shaping them the way you like makes for some solid plants, but is also one of my favorite stress relievers! Mine is a 100% legal grow too, I live in California and anybody 21 and older can legally grow up to six plants without a rec. I obviously have my rec, but still have to keep things to a minimal because my wife doesn't like seeing the plants, still thinks growing weed is bad or something, lol. I like having it small and stealth though.
And I'm not too worried about the massive yields either. As long as I can pull 3-5 ounces every 4 months I'm golden!
Nice plant again bro.

They formed 2 tops on each of the 3 main branches... so it was clubbed and all the middle popped after that and filled in
