How to slow down growth without harming plant?

The only likely complications I'm aware of is when you re veg it you need to watch for mould, ideally you want to pick a low down green/greener stem with a airy/immature bud to avoid that pitfall.

Fridge clones I've not experimented anymore with them so I'm unsure tbh.

There's little gadgets available for air layering they make the whole process easier/convenient

If I can help give me a shout.

Oh here's a few question: What if the flowering donor was pollinated? Does that complicate things, especially if the cutting itself was pollinated? And what if I drop some pollen on it while I've put it to reveg?

Hey guys I'm just wondering is there a good way to significantly slow down the growth and development of a vigorous plant without having it run into deficiencies or other health problems? Last year I kept a clone of a plant that I thought I wanted to keep just because it was an awesome vegger (bud quality sucked though so I ended up losing interest in it). I kept the clone in this tiny little tent but it outgrew it several times over. I tried lowering light intensity, which just made it stretch more. I tried less nutes, but that just made it sacrifice older leaves so it would continue with new growth. I tried applying extra cytokinin to encourage more of a stocky growth in place of stretching, and that had minimal effect. The containers were quart sized and it still got big pretty fast. The things I tried didn't do much to keep the clone from growing too quickly. Is there anything could I have done to ensure it stayed small until I was ready to really have it grow, or was I doomed to pruning and recloning it continuously?

Still there is option reduction growth chemically.
Chlormequat chloride and Paclobutrazol are described as making plants shorter and stronger with strong roots. They are used in the cultivation of cereals and flowers.

Does anyone have any personal experience or references in the use of cannabis.

It looks like crap, but it’s been neglected & been in the cup since the beginning of the year. I just kept cutting back. You can zoom, and see all the spots where I snipped. She’s lived through 2 separate harvests from different grows. I took more cuts & about to flower her out in the cup. Going to cut back on some of the rootball & refill with fresh soil. 57B89F9D-9EC4-4292-B05E-0A5EBED847B5.jpeg
