Chopping the top off could potentially hurt the plant if its too young you need to let the plant mature more, you could also trying changing the light cycle to 12/12 earlier into the vegtive state. Chopping the top off the plant will force the plant to grow two main stems, It wont neccesarely make it stop growing up, your plant could still reach 4-5 feet easy. My best advice would be to let the plant go about 5 weeks with 5hours of COMPLETE darkness every night , it is important to turn the lights off and on at the SAME TIMEs every day. then at about 5 weeks switch the lights to 12 hours of darkness and 12 hours of light.
good luck hope this helped

do not use any type of plant food go to the store and spend a couple bucks for some GOOD VEGITABLE/FLOWERING plant food this delivers a different amount of nitrogen, potasium that is necesary for "ganja" plants

no. its all based on spectrums. You need a certain type for vegging and a certain for flowering. Also you can keep topping or FIM all your new growths. It sets you plant back but keeps it short why increasing your colas and thus increasing yield. Thats why I am doing since my strain is stativa dominant.

wrap the sides of ur box in mylar, use white computer paper for the top of ur box, and get better lights, read about lumens, and the kelvin temp of the lights, the mylar will make ur plants ultra bushy, my plants r 3 inchs maybe 4 and have split like 6-7 times already , i didnt use white paper on the top tho, i used cheaper mylar, the inside of potato chip bags, its a lil more reflective then the white paper, and use the mylar from a hydrostore on the sides

not enough if you want it 10 inches, mine was 24" @ 1 oz dried, so you MAY get 1/4 dried maybe?

Ten inches is not realistic if you are expecting any harvest at all. Even an extreme LST grow would exceed ten inches.
For a 'good' harvest? LOL! You need much more clearance than 10".

If your only growing one light and you have a small area you should start with a 250W metal Halide, and then switch to 400W HPS (high pressure sodium) when you want flowering to begin., oh and try and keep the light as close as possible, the 250W is not very hot so you can keep it close without buring the plants. I have used this setup b4 with wonderful results.

wrongg...
if your growing just 1 plant in a small area ( 10in.) a 400w hps would be a little too much for a plant that small

halogens are the wrong spectrum of growing;
try using cfls maybe if your veg for like 2 weeks then lst till harvest you MAY get 10g
just my 2 cents

Wows, seems like a lot of bad info in here. If you have a sog you can get a yield out of 10in plants. Because of your space the last thing you want is a HPS or MH. Yes you can use any plant food from the store. If you cant grow with the stuff from walmart then you cant really grow. Just look for the correct ratios
Vegging=3-1-2
flowering=1-3-2
Shultz 10-15-10 works great. Dont listen to this people that tell you that you have to spend your money on the best light and the best nutrients, its a plant like any other.

what u can do is take ur plant once its about 5 inchs and tie it in a circle and every day adjust is so that when ur plant is harvested is a big ol' loop d loop this will cause the branches on the side to shoot up but u can tuck the back thru the loop to keep the plant as low to the ground as possible.+ dont use miracle grow or shultz they are ineffective when it come to ur baby girls + use CFL the are waaaaaayyyy bettter than a regular desk lamp. Learn what a lumen is and go from there.

I did not address halogen lights because it had been covered by tusseltussel quite sufficiently by way of links.halogens are the wrong spectrum of growing;

just my 2 cents
I doubt any grower disagrees on the point of halogens being inappropriate for growing.
