Is it possible to create a small plant by using a small pot? I'm planting sativas and don't want them to grow too high because i grow them in my balcony.
If it does, will it mature faster?

hi welcome to RIU, you really want to be vegging for at least 1 month to 6 weeks. but with growing outdoors you will have no say in when they will flower as is it down to nature for that as the summer ends the days will become shorter. so you need to time it with planting them around a month before the days start to become shorter.Is it possible to create a small plant by using a small pot?

This plant is pretty short with no LST involved (I think).Thanks Bagger!Anyone have an idea how tall a plant can grow on a 1 gallon pot?
Oooops! I got stoned! Now I see the wires. Sorry!This plant is pretty short with no LST involved (I think).
cmon dude its not rocket science,Yea but if it was in a 1 gallon pot how often would you have to water it?
Ok so everyone agrees that we can shorten a height of a plant by using small pots.I just wanted to add some sativas dont have to flower for 12 weeks, for those of us not in topical areas an growing outdoor. There are faster varites( like pure power plant, an early durbans ect).
Good sativa highs are so dam good, good luck.
Great! So that means even in outdoors we can force plants to flower? I'll post some pictures when my plants start to flower. As of now they are 3 weeks old.Smaller pot will create root issues and make the plant not grow to its full potential. Also you can force flower after a couple weeks by covering the plant with some plastic thus blocking the sun.
This Plant looks super! short, big bud on a small container.Flowering time isnt going to shorten just because you have a smaller pot, the growth of the plant will just be stunted. If your plant takes 8 weeks to flower than it isnt going to be 7 weeks if you bump from a 5 gallon to a 3 gallon. It just wont get as big, wont yield as much and wont be as potent due to stressing. As far as forcing budding goes, you need to aim for a 12/12 light cycle so if your area is at 16/8 then you need to provide your plants an extra 4 hours of dark every single day. That means a bag or tub over every single plant every single day and the removing it the next morning. That is a hassle and a half and would be nearly impossible if your guerrilla growing. I'm not trying to bash any dreams but I say unless your aiming for smallness due to stealth just let your plant grow to the max, wait the time and reap the benefits.
If that plant can grow healthy buds on a 1/2 liter pot, what more on a 1 gal pot?This Plant looks super! short, big bud on a small container.
