i wanted to know if it is possible to keep the plants cut to like 6-8" and bud them at that size...open to suggestions...anyway you can help me
You can use LST or other techniques to end up with plants at harvest that are 18" or less from the top of the soil, but 6-8" is a wee bit short.
hmm HTC. I would love to help you out but i'm going to have to agree with toasty 6-8 is pretty much too small. the best you could do is just LST the SHIT out of your plant throughout it's whole life in hopes of keeping it small. When flowering comes you could keep tying it down and everything but it might mess up the budsites. whatever, its worth a try, go for it and let us know how it goes!
