Plant height

I know strains have a major say in what size it doubles too or even triples. But what is your guys preferred "If any" method of keeping your plants around 2-2.5 feet tall. Like a particular pot size, an "X" Amount of nodes or just general plant height before you flip. I want to keep my plants short without topping and finish around 2-2.5 or slightly more but generally under 3.0 feet. Any input from guys who grow with similar experiences please let me know. I know strains are dependant but surely there is a rough guide like plant pot size or x amount of nodes then flip or flip it at 1 foot and average around 2 foot when finished. Giving slight variations with various strains.....

By strains I mean Genetics of the strains etc.
Oh and veg time, if anyone has like an average "X" amount of veg time before flipping and they usually end up under 2.8-3.0 feet.

Grow short indicas and train them. LST and cropping them to the height of your space. Scrogs work good to help control height. Set the net lower and flip when its full

I didn't want a ling veg time that's the only problem. If I train it up to the height I want wouldn't it be a longer veg time? I understand where you are coming from, but I want a balance of speed and a short plant. More training I apply the longer the veg will be right?

It can be longer. You have a few options 1 being flip them in 2 weeks and if they grow to high bend them out of the way. You will yield less per plant but it flips fast

Or you veg train them. The last scrog i did in a 2 x 3 tent took about 5 to 6 weeks to fill the net. Or you can train it to a few colas (4 or 8) and flip to get better yield and still keep them short.

Auto kush ryder is a great auto that grows max 2 feet. There are a lot. And that one is strong. There are quite a few autos 20% and up now just dont get sanserra seeds theirs are all weaksauce.

look at a seedbank and select short high thc autos and you will have a few options for plants.

Oh I have never seen that option for short height ones lol. Perhaps that's where I went wrong. I got some awesome seeds to try first from someon I respect well and provided me a tonne of info. But ill try that one you mentioned too. Thanks
