  1. I am currently growin two plants and i dont have alot of room. is there any way i could train them to grow out instead of up?
     
  2. Using the Search button will take you a very long way.
     
  3. Yeah, search buttons are great, but here my attempt at an answer to your question:

    You have two options for training your plants:

    1 Pruning. Each time you cut a grow tip, two grow tips will be produced in its place. Make sure the cuts are clean, make them with a very sharp knife or a razor blade. The problem with this method is that cutting the plant hurts the plant and you will slow down your vegetative progress by doing this. The good thing is that you can make the plant very dense and bushy by cutting in stragegic places.

    2. Tie down your plants. Stems are fairly flexible. If your plant is growing too tall, tie the top of the plant to the floor. It will keep growing, just in a different direction. The good thing about this method is that it should not hurt your plants (unless you break some stems). The bad thing is that it really doesnt do anything to make the plant any denser or bushier, it just makes it a different shape.

    I hope this is helpful.
